Permission Issues

If you see errors like this in a log file:

Access to the path '/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html' is denied.

Common Solution:

• Install file-transformation plugin (recommended)

• Or, try platform-specific permission fixes

Platform-Specific Permission Issues

Docker

Example of a common error:

Bash

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html' is denied.

If you are not using the file-transformation plugin, you'll need to manually map the index.html file

1. Copy the index.html file from your container:

   Bash

   docker cp jellyfin:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html /path/to/your/jellyfin/config/index.html
   

2. Add volume mapping:

   Docker Run

   -v /path/to/your/jellyfin/config/index.html:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html
   

   or...
   Docker Compose

   services:
     jellyfin:
       volumes:
         # volume mapping
         - /path/to/your/jellyfin/config:/config
         - /path/to/your/jellyfin/config/index.html:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html
   

Warning

This method is not recommended and won't survive a jellyfin-web upgrade. The recommended method for Docker:

1. Install the File Transformation plugin
2. Follow the standard installation process

Windows

Known solution:

1. Navigate to your Jellyfin installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server)
2. Right-click the folder → Properties → Security
3. Grant NETWORK SERVICE Read and Write permissions
4. Apply to all subfolders and files
5. Restart Jellyfin service

Linux

Known solution:

Bash

sudo chown -R jellyfin:jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin/
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/jellyfin/
