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.

Why don't you try NFS? For me it's a lot easier to set up...

Because insecure FTP access is already enabled on the NAS ;-)

I tried to mount the share as NFS, but it didn't seem to work from the console in the container. I ended up using CIFS which worked.

Probably the container does not have the required NFS client/libraries, but you don't have to do this inside the container... You mount it on the host and share it via a docker volume with the container.
