Hello there,

Currently using Emby on my synology 218play, I find it's a bit slow, so I started (for the first time) an ubuntu server with emby (on proxmox).

I managed to install ubuntu and emby, but when adding the media folders (stored on my synology for now) it doesn't find anything. I press refresh media and nothing happens basically. I am not sure what protocol is used by emby, locally on my synology there is a user that is granted permissions.

I have added NFS permissions for my server IP, but that doesn't seem to help.

@Hairlocklooks like there's no access to your SMB share:

Here's my advice:

• Mount the SMB share to a local path in the OS and then import that local path into emby server instead
• If for some reason you can't do that, the 4.8 server has added the ability to enter smb credentials, in case those are necessary.

So it's like some sort of symbolic link ? Complete noob with Linux so i don't really know how to do those things.

Can't i use nfs ?

I would follow this: https://support.zadarastorage.com/hc/en-us/articles/213024986-How-to-Mount-a-SMB-Share-in-Ubuntu

Gotcha, will try this then. That's until i move my storage away from the Synology to my proxmox install

Let us know how it goes. Thanks.

Apparently you can't do that in proxmox if you use containers : https://bayton.org/docs/linux/lxd/mount-cifssmb-shares-rw-in-lxd-containers/

Will try the workaround though.

Found the solution, with some extra help found on the proxmox forums.
