Any way to make syncloud docker with jellyfin to take media library from an already mounted samba folder?  
I have a samba folder with all the media.  
I have syncloud on docker with jellyfin installed  
I need to make jellyfin have access to media shared folder which is already mounted on boot time on the host machine, because I have not enough disc space in my syncloud installation to upload all media files into /data/jellyfin as specified in documentation  
Thank you!

I assume you are doing this already:

```auto
--volume=/storage:/opt/disk/internal 

```

Also /data is a link to /opt/disk/internal by default.

So on host if you make your movie collection appear under /storage/jellyfin it should automatically be available inside container under /data/jellyfin
