Fedora 24 Server: Emby fails to start

[jupiter 0]

I installed emby on a fresh load of Fedora Server 24 by adding the stable repo, and running sudo dnf install emby-server.  emby-server will not start.  Cockpit provides the following information.

I searched the forum for the emby log directory and found that it is supposed to be located in /share.   I do not have a /share directory. 

 

ps -ef |grep emby-server indicates.

here is the install showing I am not missing any dependencies. 

sudo dnf install emby-server

Package emby-server-3.0.6020-52.1.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Where are the emby logs located in fedora, or is there a journalctl command to view emby logs?

You need to create a SELinux policy or set SELinux to permissive mode.

Search the forum since there is a recent thread about it. This problems seems to only affect F24 tough.

Thanks. 

For future users with this problem. 

 

Here are the commands for setting permissive.   

sudo setenforce 0
sudo getenforce
Permissive

This is fine on a Lan, but if you plan on running anything open, then a profile should be created.

 

 

This is the forum post I found with the most information.
