Hi all. Very new potential jellyfin user trying to set things up.

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.

    I’ve never even heard of curlftpfs, but I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work. You should try it out and let us know… I tried NFS once and didn’t like it.
