Tell Emby Where Media is without gui on linux : same machine

[Healthed 0]

I have Emby on a nuc that is headless (no monitor).  Ubuntu 18 Bionic

 

Is there (or where is) the linux config file to tell Emby Server the paths to folders I want Emby to serve. 

 

do I need to share out these folders first, since it is on the same disk partition as Emby?  I'd prefer not to have to share them, since they are are the same box, but if there is a reason to do it (besides not being able to find the Emby config file), I will.

 

Thanks.

Hi, this isn't going to be easily done and is not documented. I would use a another device to open a web browser to http://ipaddress:8096

 

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Not a problem as I have that already. I guess I need documentation on how to tell Emby server on the Nuc, that it needs to serve media directories on itself.

Pretty odd request since you can just browse to your Emby server's landing page.  However, if you insist:  https://www.2daygeek.com/best-text-mode-based-command-line-web-browser-for-linux/#

is it not possible to connect to it via ip:8096 to use the normal gui to configure emby and the libraries?

Yea all you need is a web browser.
