Add existing NAS with existing shared files

[super67]

I am using Proxmox on a computer that has a Jellyfin media server on it. I have a Seagate NAS with my media on it. I want the Jellyfin (Proxmox) to be able to access the NAS. Using Windows I could IP into the NAS shared folder. How would Jellyfin (Proxmox) access the NAS shared folder I already have? or do I need to set up a new NAS from scratch?

How do you run Jellyfin?

How do you run Jellyfin?

I have Jellyfin in a container. Jellyfin runs through a web interface. I just can't access the remote media library. On the Promox Screen the Nas (pve1) is the remote NAS. I can find the Nas but can't access any information already on the drive.

It's an privileged LXC. So you could enable the "CIFS" feature for it in the PVE webUI. After that you can mount that SMB share directly inside the LXC.

Would I go to my 101 (jellyfin) container, then console.

Then type:
sudo mkdir /media/NAS

Then type:
//192.168.1.81/public cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Then type:
sudo mount -a

and if I then typed: ls
It would show the shared folder?

//192.168.1.81/public cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0

That looks like it belongs in the fstab. And if UID=1000 fits depends on the user that is running your jellyfin.
