HI, what do you mean by "your home directory"?

Where are you looking for it?

Did you actually configure these at all?

Using docker, you'll never see your home directory, unless you explicitly map it to the container.

Within emby you should see /data/movies and /data/tvshows, but unless you actually have content at the paths '/path/to/movies' and 'path/to/tvshows' they'll be empty.

 

Modify the compose you found to actually match paths on your system, those are just placeholders....

 

 

Speaking of which:

You're also not using the official emby docker release or compose file, but one provided by lscr.io.... No idea if/when that gets updated.

 

 

You should be using the releases found at https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver

The paths on the left side of the colon are paths in the host file system; and the right side are paths in the containers filesystem, ie what emby sees.

 

For emby to see the media that's stored in /home/jon/movies, you'll want the line:

- /home/jon/movies:/media/movies

In your compose file. Then emby will see those files at the path /media/movies.

 

 

Within the container: /config is where emby stores its configuration files. Currently you have them stored at /path/to/library on your host. This will function, but is kinda messy. Personally, I'd move them to something like /srv/emby/config, then change that top line to match:

- /srv/emby/config:/config
