SMB support from libraries in docker container?

[FredrikT 24]

I'm testing moving my Emby server to one container instance. Right now I'm testing with TrueNAS Scale, though I believe my issue is universal for Linux.

I have all my media located (for now) on a Synology NAS. My problem now is how to access my SMB share from my container. I've tried including the username/password in the path in the library section, but that doesn't work. The syntax I tried was;
smb://Username:Password@server/Path and
Username:Password@server/Path

I don't think I can create a mounting point in TrueNAS to a remote SMB share. Any thoughts on how this issue could be solved?

Going forward I will probably have one dedicated server for data (NAS) and one for applications (K8s), so I'd like to solve this problem going forward.

HI, you can mount these as part of your docker run command, and then add the mounted path into emby server.

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Thanks Luke. I'll test that. I looked a bit into some options, but it looked like there were some limitations with SMB version (1.0 only, which is not happening ) and some other reliability thing that had to be disabled, but I'll look a bit more into it next week. Thanks.

Though it would be awesome if it was possible to do from the Library setup in Emby, but I realize there might be some technical barriers for doing that.

It is possible but I would still suggest the mounting approach anyway.
