it is not mounted to the container because that is a shit solution. the host would need to mount it and pass that to tge container. emby i stop the container and no connection to the share. mounted in host it would still be there. not to mention the hassle this also means more traffic. an idea why jellyfin doesnt do shares like emby?

Maybe because it’s not an obviously wanted feature? But I’m just guessing. You should request it and see what happens, maybe more people want it. I’ve never even thought about it, since in the case of Podman/docker it’s so “obvious” and easy to just mount network shares to the host first. And in the case of Kubernetes you can just mount NFS shares directly into pods.

  Docker(/Compose) can do mounts directly to the container as well.

  I’ve used NFS mounts with docker compose before but I see the second link also includes an example for CIFS as well.

  “obviously”… dont get over yourself. theres been requests.plenty.
  
  migration is also much easier. i think only edgelords prefer mouting in host and container.
