It is a synology NAS and all forum posts and tutorials say to install container managerand set up docker. Well tough luck because my model doesn’t seem to be compatible with container manager.

Ok, I install the the server in a pc running linux mint, now when I try to create a library I can’t point where the files are.

        you should be able to find the user jellyfin is running as with:

        ps aux | grep jellyfin

        the first column is the user name or ID

        you’re looking for a line something like this

            looks like jellyfin is running as the user “oriol”. does that sound right?

            assuming you have your files mounted somewhere locally that jellyfin can access, their file permissions will need to allow access to that user
