So I finally have my server up and running but I still need a hand.

I cannot access my media library on my internal storage or my 4tb sega gate portable drive I am using. What is the fix for this? Thanks

The issue is resolved I managed to fix it thanks for the help everyone!

More info needed. How are you running Jellyfin? How is the drive attached? What OS?

Linux mint on a mini pc attached with External Hard Drive Cable

Forgot to mention this is a follow up of a post from yesterday

Ok so you’re using docker, the drive is a USB disk?

I think you need to:

create a mount point folder
mount the drive in fstab so it’s available on boot
create a dedicated user for Jellyfin to run as
make sure the new user has read/write access to the folders with media (this may mean changing ownership, adding to a new or existing group)
set the docker container to run as the new user
add the mount point as a volume inside the docker container
add the folders with media in Jellyfin

No docker ran it off the terminal and the drive is a portable HHD
