docker-compose.yml doesn't work if jellyfin is in a different container/address

[Monkeyboy200]

I have tried all of the docker-compose.yml variations found on the Jellysweep page and I just can't get Jellysweep (192.168.0.101:3002) to see my Jellyfin instance (192.168.0.100:8096) I have tried leaving things set to true, setting them to false, etc. The documentation does not clarify any of this. I followed all the steps exactly and still couldn't get the container up and running in Docker. Any help would be appreciated! Running in a Docker LXC on proxmox virtual environment if that is helpful to know! Thank you!

Can you show your config and the error you are getting in jellysweep?

[Monkeyboy200]

docker-compose.yml

services:
  jellysweep:
    image: ghcr.io/jon4hz/jellysweep:latest
    container_name: jellysweep
    ports:
      - "3002:3002"
    volumes:
      # - ./config.yml:/app/config.yml:ro use config or env vars
      - ./data:/app/data
      # Mount Jellyfin library paths at the same locations for disk usage monitoring
      # Example: if Jellyfin has /data/movies, mount it the same way here
      - /mnt/drivebay/Media/Movies:/data/movies:ro
      - /mnt/drivebay/Media/TV Shows:/data/tv:ro
      - /mnt/drivebay/Media/Anime:/data/anime:ro
    environment:
      # Override config values via environment variables if needed
      - JELLYSWEEP_DRY_RUN=true
      - JELLYSWEEP_LISTEN=0.0.0.0:3002
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      jellyfin-network:

networks:

error:

network jellyfin-network declared as external, but could not be found

Like I said, I have tried a bunch of other configs but this is what I left it as last night

[jon4hz]

That error message has nothing to do with jellysweep. That is a docker issue.

Apparently your jellyfin network isn't called jellyfin-network.

What does docker network ls say?

[Monkeyboy200]

I don't run jellyfin on docker, it is on a whole different container:

bazarr_default                bridge    local
bridge                        bridge    local
cleanuparr_default            bridge    local
flaresolverr_default          bridge    local
homarr_default                bridge    local
host                          host      local
jellyseerr_default            bridge    local
jellystat_default             bridge    local
jellysweep_jellyfin-network   bridge    local
none                          null      local
prowlarr_default              bridge    local
radarr_default                bridge    local
sonarr_default                bridge    local
yt-dlp_default                bridge    local

Why are you adding the jellyfin-network at all if jellyfin isn't on the same docker host?

[Monkeyboy200]

I was just following the instructions on the homepage for the project... I figured it was some variable I shouldn't mess with.

[jon4hz]

That's simply an example of how the network setup could look, if you have jellyfin in another compose stack. If you have a different jellyfin setup, that runs outside of docker, you can just remove the network config.

[Monkeyboy200]

logs just say that it is missing jellyfin config now, where do I put config info? I have seen in multiple places around the project page:
.env is mentioned, config.yml, and the environment section of the docker-compose.yml

[SebastianSiegl]

Same issue here. I am trying for several hours to run the container now and all I get is FATA failed to load config: missing jellyfin config. I am really confused on where to put this. I tried it in config.yml as well as docker-compose.yml and nothing seems to work? @Monkeyboy200 did you find a fix?

same error here. FATA failed to load config: missing jellyfin config
