Hello.

My question is basically the title. Can a jellyfin installed with rootles docker access media that is stored on a encrypted hard drive?

I have almost zero docker experience since i just started using it and I just want to know if it’s possible.

    The drive will be mounted by the host and you can use that to also decrypt it. This way Jellyfin in the docker container doesn’t know that the media is stored on an encrypted hard drive.

      And if I make docker compose file for jellyfin and specify that path to encrypted hdd example( /media/user/sda1/jellyfin-media) will it be able to read that media?

        I’m not 100% on the paths regarding the mounts and where the containing files are accessible, but it looks correct to at the moment. One way to test this is to check if the user you are using to run the Jellyfin container is able to access the files without additional input/steps.

        If your user can access it, then Jellyfin will be able to do that as well as soon as you have mounted it in the container.
