[BUG] Jellyfin container not adopting set PUID/PGID values

[sotiris-bos]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I have set custom PUID/PGID values in my docker compose file so that jellyfin has proper access to my media.

The jellyfin user inside the container runs under a different UID/GID.

Expected Behavior

The jellyfin user should adopt the UID/GID values set in the docker compose file, exactly as it happens with the plex container.

Steps To Reproduce

Arch Linux 6.6.30-2-lts
Docker version 26.1.2

Environment

- OS: Arch Linux 6.6.30-2-lts
- How docker service was installed: Docker was installed through pacman package manager. docker-compose pull was used to pull the image.


Docker compose file:


---
version: "2.1"
services:
  jellyfin:
    image: linuxserver/jellyfin
    container_name: jellyfin
    network_mode: none
    runtime: nvidia
    environment:
      - PUID=355
      - PGID=8675309
      - TZ=Europe/Athens
#      - UMASK_SET=022 #optional
      - pipework_cmd=--direct-phys eno1v28 -i eno1v28 @CONTAINER_NAME@ udhcpc
      - pipework_cmd_2=--direct-phys eno1v33.400 -i eno1v33.400 @CONTAINER_NAME@ udhcpc
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
    volumes:

You are right. I thought I had a permission issue but it turns out that I am having a different issue right now.
