Mounting a google team drive with reclone to pass to truenas vm for jellyfin

[wwe9112]

So I’m new to alllll this and am coming up short on documentation and good tutorials on how to do this. Help please?

Basically my server runs on proxmox. I’d like to mount a google team drive so that it shows up as a disk in proxmox so I can add it as hardware to my truenas vm so I can then add it to jellyfin that I have setup as an app on truenas. I can’t figure it out.

I do have my google drive setup on Debian but it’s not showing up in proxmox. If I use the shell, I can see my drive and data. That’s as far as I’ve been successful at :/

Please help?
Thank you

Hi,

Wouldn't the easiest solution be mounting the google drive in jellyfin directly? I am assuming you are using the docker container of jellyfin, which is based on debian.

Out of curiosity, which method id you use to mount your google drive? Could you share the Tutorial/Docs?

Best luck

How would you point it directly in jellyfin?

I used rclone. I asked on Reddit and they said to use rclone. So I installed it and ran rclone config and went through the prompts.

I did my best to follow https://www.lets-talk-about.tech/2022/01/rclone-mount-google-drive-on-any-file.html?m=1

1. log into your jellyfin machine (not into the web interface but the vm or container) so that you have a terminal to work in.
2. follow the rclone tutorial you posted
3. in the jellyfin webinterface you can add a media library under library -> Add Media Library -> Folders and there enter the path where you mounted the google drive.

PS: You could also just create a debian virtual machine in proxmox directly and install jellyfin there, since TrueNas does basically the same things Proxmox does.

I’ll give that a shot. I can’t use virtual machines in truenas. It says my processor doesn’t support it so I have to use the apps page instead of vm. I believe those are kibernetties (sp?) containers.

Anywho, I’ll do that here shortly. Im in the process of changing for work lol.

You might have set up your vm wrong. Since you are running VMs in VMs (called nested virtualization), you need to set up some things to virtualize efficiently. To fix:

1. Go into your Computer's BIOs (You can do this by mashing f1, f2, f10, f12 or the del key, depending on your motherboard manufacturer) and turn on hardware virtualization
2. enable nested hardware virtualization
3. In the proxmox web interface, click on `options` and set `KVM hardware virtualization` to `Yes`
4. In the proxmox web interface, click on `Hardware`, then `Processors` and change the type to `host`
5. start the TrueNAS vm and see if it work.

(see this for a more indepth tutorial)

If you haven't already, create a pool in TrueNAS where you can save your VMs. To do that you will need to attach a second disk to your TrueNAS vm, which you can do in the Proxmox webinterface under `hardware` -> `add` -> `hard disk`. Then create a pool in TrueNAS, and create a vm

I ran into trouble with the VNC viewer on TrueNAS, so you might have to do your Debian install in proxmox and then upload it to TrueNAS, which you can do in the TrueNAS vm creator interface. You can see, this is all a hassle so if I were you, I would create a Debian VM in Proxmox. That way, you don't have an extra layer of virtualization and you don't need to set up as much stuff. For more info on how to create VMs in proxmox, see the docs.

Hope this helps
