Emby Docker container randomly loses NFS-mounted media library

[pepeze12 1]

Hey there,

 

My setup consists of a Proxmox server with three VMs:

an HAProxy VM for SSL, a TrueNAS VM for storage, and a Docker server with a GPU for transcoding.

 

I mounted my media library via NFS because I want to stay flexible with storage. I also have a Windows 11 VM to manage the library.

 

Anyway, I mounted the NFS share under /mnt. All containers work fine, but Emby randomly loses the library. When I check the share on the Docker host where the library is located, all movies are still there. However, when I ls inside the container and look at the mount point, it’s empty.

 

This happens every 2–3 days.

Can someone help me with this?

Does your mount get disconnected? Did you see in the ffmpeg log?

No such file or directory

[pepeze12 1]

Hey, thanks.

But when I do this, I get the following result:

nfsstat -c

Client rpc stats:
calls      retrans    authrefrsh
2536       0          2537 

So that would mean there was no reconnect, unless I’m misunderstanding something. Other Docker containers on the same host don’t have this issue (for example, Immich).

[Luke 42077]

Can you prevent it from disconnecting?

[pepeze12 1]

What do you mean exactly?

If I interpret the output correctly, NFS itself did not experience a disconnect. However, Emby appears to have lost access to the mount point.

[Luke 42077]

The server cannot access the video files directly. You can see it all throughout the log:

Quote

13:37:10.328 /data/movies/H/Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) [tmdbid=159824]/Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) [tmdbid=159824].mkv: No such file or directory

This could be any number of things from the mount being disconnected, to file names changed, to being denied permission on it, etc.

[pepeze12 1]

But nothing is there. When I go into the container, the folder is empty. If I check on the host, the NFS mount is still present and all movies are in place. The system also reports that there was no NFS disconnect, and I didn’t change any names or settings between the time it was working and the time it failed.

I don’t understand what is happening.

Pep,

I thought mounted drives in Ubuntu are nomally in the ./mnt folder, not in /data.  Did you prehaps not setup up the mount location at the standard place and that is part of the issue?

Are you mounting the nfs share to the host, then bind-mounting the folder on the host to a folder in the container like any other folder?

Or are you directly mounting the network share to the docker container?

 

I'm using the former and haven't seen issues. Occasionally my network share will be offline for things like maintenance or a power loss, but when it remounts to the host the containers have no problem accessing it again as if it never left.

Yes, exactly. That works better for me.

I should have explained what the two images are. Sorry, my bad

The upper screenshot shows the Docker host where the NFS share is mounted.

The screenshot below shows the mount inside the container, where the NFS mount is passed to Emby.

For example.

volumes:
  - mnt/nfs/emby-movies:/data/movies

Yes, same for me, but you can see that every 2–3 days the Docker mount fails.

It works extremely well for every other container (around five in total). The issue only occurs with Emby.

 

The files from the NFS share are present on the host, but they don’t show up inside the container.

Logically, I would expect the NFS share itself to have hiccups, but I can’t see anything like that in the logs.

I also don’t see any NFS reconnects.

What are your NFS mount options in fstab? Can you run the mount command to get the details and post here?

[visproduction 315]

Interesting.  I have not done this NFS mount forwarding before, so I have no idea...  I did find this mentioned in troubeshooting - Mounting:

This is part of the fstab file.

#emby nfs
192.168.41.2:/mnt/Main-HDD/nfs/docker-volumes/emby-movies  /mnt/nfs/emby-movies  nfs  rw,nfsvers=4.1,_netdev,soft,timeo=600,retrans=3  0  0
192.168.41.2:/mnt/Main-HDD/nfs/docker-volumes/emby-series  /mnt/nfs/emby-series  nfs  rw,nfsvers=4.1,_netdev,soft,timeo=600,retrans=3  0  0

I saw that I should change soft back to hard to prevent data corruption, but I think soft should work better in case of NFS hiccups.

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the mount command, or something else?

Permission Issues: Ensure that the exported directory on the server has the correct permissions and that the client has the necessary access rights.

The setup worked fine for two days and then suddenly stopped working, which is why I don’t think it’s a permissions issue.

Yes, the mount output for the NFS volumes you posted is what I was asking for.

Did you change mount options from hard to soft? Were you already having problems losing the path in the container when you did this? Hard is better if you intend to write to that filesystem AND if there are hiccups the client would wait indefinitely instead of timing out with an error. If anything you'd then know that something about the connectivity to the volume isn't right.

 

[Q-Droid 989]

Also - which container image are you using and have you tried a different one?

Yes, but I’ve had this problem for over a year and finally had enough, so I started looking for help here. I don’t know anymore whether switching it to hard made it worse or if it stayed the same.

Yes, I already had the same issues before. As I explained, I don’t remember if it was worse, but it was definitely still a problem.

I am using:

image: emby/embyserver:latest

I discussed this topic with ChatGPT, and it mentioned that periodic rescans might cause issues. I’ve noticed that running ls on the NFS mount sometimes takes a while before returning any output. I’m wondering if this delay could cause Emby’s automatic scans to time out and temporarily lose access to the path.

I disabled “Enable real-time monitoring” on one of my libraries to check whether this is the cause.

I’ve applied the NFS settings to all containers, but I don’t expect any improvement because the setup was already very similar before and the problems existed back then as well.

That response is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of AI tools. Scans could reveal a problem, not create it.

Problems when running basic host commands on the NFS mounts is a clear sign that something is not quite right. Are any of your VMs pausing or suspending somehow? Is your hypervisor host overcommitted and running out of resources?

I guess you could run with "hard" for a while and see what happens. I'm curious to see if the shares are lost or the container hangs now with the different mount option.

How are you managing your docker containers? Have you compared the volumes sections between them? I'm wondering if bind propagation options could help in this scenario.

@pepeze12?

Sorry for the late reply, the holidays have been quite stressful. One of my boot disks failed or had a bad connection, and my server was rebooting every 12 hours over the last few days. But I’m using ZFS, so that shouldn’t be a problem for data stored on it.

I’m not sure whether that was the problem or if it’s something else. It has been working so far, but I don’t think that was the actual solution or the core problem with Emby. I have a boot order configured so that TrueNAS starts before the Docker host, so every time I rebooted the system, it worked. That shouldn’t be an issue.

My server has 64 GB of RAM and an AMD EPYC 4364P 8-core processor. It has an average load of 2–5%, and about 60% of the RAM is used. I’m only running these three VMs. The Docker host has 16 GB of RAM and 4 cores, and it’s not using all of that, at least if htop is telling the truth. I don’t think system load is the problem.

I will check the logs the next time Emby goes down. I have a feeling it might happen again today, and I hope I’ll see more in the logs now that I switched to the “hard” NFS option.

I’m managing everything via the CLI and Nano: yes, sorry, Nano, not vi . I’m using Docker Compose.

Yesterday, after chatting with ChatGPT, I added this option to the Docker Compose file:

- /mnt/nfs:/mnt/nfs:rw,rshared

It’s running fine now, but this whole NFS topic is new to me, and I’m not very experienced with it. I didn’t know that scanning uses basic NFS properties.

My homelab is mainly for learning, and for me, ChatGPT is a good tool to learn quickly, combined with other sources to finetune things and experiment.

Hi, did you figure anything out related to this?

[pepeze12 1]

Hey,

@visproduction you sent links regarding connection problems with NFS, but I don’t have any connection issues. I think Docker has a problem mounting the NFS share. According to the logs on the Docker host system, there were no connection interruptions to the NFS server.

It worked over the last few days after specifying the following:

- /mnt/nfs:/mnt/nfs:rw,rshared

I’m not calling this the solution because I don’t understand the difference between not specifying it and specifying it. It has been working for a longer time now, but I can’t say whether it’s stable.

I want to look it up and understand the difference.

So for now, it’s only a partial solution, since it has been working longer so far.
