TrueNas Scale - Location of Emby folders and how to get there..??

[bacardi8 19]

Hi Guys,

I'm running Truenas Scale (22.12-RC.1), Emby runs great so no issues there. I'm just wondering where the Emby folders are located and how to open it.

With folders I mean where is the Emby install folder located (config etc).

Maybe somebody in here knows about that.

Cheers

On your Emby Server Dashboard, click the " ... " and bring up the menu to find "View Server Info"

You should then be presented with a page with all your paths. HTH.

Hi seanbuff,

Thanks for your quick answer.

Yes you are right, but what I need is the location and the access to these folders on my TruNas server.

Seems they are hidden in TruNas Scale.

just want to bump this because i now have a problem.

emby worked fine til i changed the port in the network settings of emby server dashboard from 8096 to 9096.  this broke after i restarted emby.  now it's in a "deploying" state. i need to find the config file and make some modifications.  i saw this thread:  Where is the config file that holds the port mapping?; and, the person having the same problem said it was found at this location:  "/var/lib/emby/config/system.xml in the LXC," and i read on there that the install location is "/var/lib/emby."  however, my /var/lib is very different as it does not have the emby directory (and idk what LXC is). the screenshot show my /var/lib.  and, no, i cannot log into emby to click on the 3 dots.  i'm not used to linux directory structures nor it's install process.

any help would be greatly appreicated. if this needs to be move to be it's own new thread, please do so.

thanks.

alrighty. i found the location of the system.xml file that i needed to edit. for me, the /config folder was located in the 'media' mount path.  to see the path click on the 'View Mounts' under Workload:

you'll see a pop up window indicating where the /confg folder is located:

i used nano in shell to edit the system.xml.  after editing the Public port of 9096 back to 8096, the server is now able to be deployed and in a "Running" status. hope this will help those of us who are not too familiar with many things linux.
