Hey everyone! I'm trying to set up Jellyfin using Docker, and everything seems to go well since I can connect to it from another machine on my local network. However, I'm having trouble when it comes to fetching plugins or metadata; it just doesn't work. I've searched through various forums for solutions, but nothing seems to help. Below is my current Docker Compose file configuration:
```yaml
services:
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
container_name: Jellyfin
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Asia/Kolkata
volumes:
- /home/user/Jellyfin/cache:/cache:rw
- /home/user/Jellyfin/config:/config:rw
- /home/user/media:/media:rw
networks:
- default
ports:
- 8096:8096/tcp
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
default:
driver: bridge
driver_opts:
com.docker.network.driver.mtu: 1500
```
I'm running this on Arch Linux (don't ask me why I chose this for a home server!). Thanks for any help you can provide!

Consider updating your Jellyfin installation to the latest version. It looks like you're a bit behind, and sometimes connectivity issues can arise from outdated software.
One thing that stands out is the MTU value you've set to 1500. You might want to try changing it to 1420. Sometimes, extra headers can mess things up downstream of Docker.
A few points to consider:
1. Arch is technically not officially supported for Docker.
2. Are you sure you need to mess with the MTU settings?
3. For troubleshooting, simplify your Compose file. Start with a very basic configuration, and then you can add more features later as needed. It looks like this might have been pieced together from different sources or guides, which can complicate things.
4. Refer to the official Jellyfin documentation.
5. By the way, there's also a subreddit for Jellyfin Community that might have useful insights.
1. I installed Docker through pacman on Arch, so I thought it's supported.
2, 3, 4. Just trying various fixes I found online, and this is the result.
5. Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know the Jellyfin subreddit existed, thought it was just r/Jellyfin and it felt too limiting.
Alright, I'll give that a shot and see if it helps!
