Greetings to all from France!
Thank you for welcoming me in my homelab endeavors.
I have been trying hard to read guides, existing threads but I rate myself 2/10 on IT knowledge scale. Thus I hope to benefit from your understanding and patience.
1) Objective : I want to create a media center (Jellyfin) which can access media (movies etc.) on an external USB HDD.
2) Problem : I am not able to get Jellyfin to detect the media folders on said USB HDD.
3) Configuration :
- Mini PC with Proxmox, and a 4To WD USD external hard drive connected.
- Jellyfin as LXC (using the "ttech" script)
- Open Media Vault as VM
4) Steps i did so far under OMV :
- "Storage->Drives" : external HDD is recognized as "/dev/sdb"
- "Storage->Shared folders" : desired folders have been shared and referenced, have both absolute and relative paths
- "Services->NFS" : activated, the folders have been shared, client IP is "192.168.0.1/24"
- "Services->SMB" : activated, the folders have been shared
- "Users" : created a user profile
5) What I get :
- Under Windows explorer, I can see the "openmediavault" computer. Using my user profile credentials created above, I can access the folders I wish to share
- Under Jellyfin container in Proxmox, I struggle to do the same and add the folders to the media library
If my understanding is correct, we cannot ask Jellyfin to directly add a network storage resource, this resource has to be mounted on the Proxmox.
I tried to gather information but I admit I am easily overwhelmed due to my poor knowledge.
Could you kindly explain me which steps I missed ?
Many thanks in advance for your help and patience,
Hamlet.
