I have one of those mini fanless mini PC boxes with Proxmox and pfsense installed. Jellyfin has been installed as a lxc via one of the helper scripts. Set it up and it works fine.

I'm now trying to set it up to access an old Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ that I have lying around. It's been setup with SMB/CIFS as well as FTP access. I'm considering disabling SMB/CIFS access since I think I don't need that anymore. I think the NAS only supports TLS 1.2 protocol and it's probably safer to disable it security wise. After searching around, I've come across curlftpfs which seems to be able to mount a ftp server as a local directly which i can then use as a library for jellyfin.

Is this the best way or is there a better alternative I can consider?

Thanks.

"noauto" sounds like a step in the right direction. I might give it a shot.

Many thanks. You've been very helpful.

No worries, glad to be of help. I still think that you should do this on the host, not the container. Containers revert your manual changes on an update, they sit on a different network, it's a mess.

Just for reference, this is how I have my NAS mounts on my machine (/etc/fstab):

10.10.10.14:/volume1/backup /home/beerclue/priv/nas/backup nfs noauto,user,rw,vers=4.0 0 0

And on the NAS I have it set like (/etc/exports):

/volume1/backup 10.10.10.17(rw,async,no_wdelay,crossmnt,all_squash,insecure_locks,sec=sys,anonuid=1024,anongid=100)

I'm not saying this is the perfect setup, but it works for me. I see the mount in my file explorer, and it only mounts it when i click on it, or when I tell it to from the terminal, so no boot impact even if I am away.
