Hi,
I am quite new in Proxmox use.
I have a proxmox on a NUC ZOTAC miniPC. (Proxmox 8.4.11).
I have a Jellyfin Container installed (105) thanks to https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=jellyfin.
The proxmox host stops automatically everyday at 23h and start at 7am.
The jellyfin is supposed to start automatically on boot, with other VM and container. Every VM and container start without problem but not jellyfin. I tried several times manually this morning without success. And just before writing this message, I start manually and it worked. And this is like this everyday.

The movies are hosted on a synology NAS that starts automatically about 15 min before the proxmox host. So the NAS is working completely when the jellyfin container is starrted in the morning.
The log are the following:
"
run_buffer: 571 Script exited with status 2
lxc_init: 845 Failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container "105"
__lxc_start: 2034 Failed to initialize container "105"
TASK ERROR: startup for container '105' failed
"

Container settings:

Have you any idea?

Thanks,
Regards,
Coanda

Could you please try starting the container with debug logs:
Code: 
pct start 105 --debug

Post the output when it fails.
 
Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
This evening I try your command. The container starts succesfully. I will try again tomorrow morning.
Just in case, the output of the command this evening.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
This source is supposed to exist. I have just launched again manually the container few minutes ago. It works now and I can read movies that are in Syno/Movies. So the folder exists.
I don't understand why I can't access to this folder when the container is launched automatically at boot. But It works when I launch manually later in the day.
 
Seems like /mnt/pve/Syno is not yet mounted when the container attempts to start.

To make sure that the container is started after mnt-pve-Syno.mount, you could try configuring an override for pve-container@105.service:
systemctl edit pve-container@105.service
Code: 
[Unit]
RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/pve/Syno
