Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I’m now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It’s been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I’m considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don’t need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it’s probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I’ve come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

    Remember that the container sits on a different network, the docker network, maybe that’s why access doesn’t work.

    You can add the mount to be noauto in fstab, so it doesn’t mount it unless you access the location. You can also mount it manually or via script, as needed.

    Not sure how to help more, you have a peculiar setup…

      “noauto” sounds like a step in the right direction. I might give it a shot.

      Many thanks. You’ve been very helpful.
