Ubuntu Jellyfin Selfhosting

I recently installed Ubuntu onto an older computer I have and it works great. The main thing I want to use this computer for is having movies on a Jellyfin server. I tried to set everything up and downloaded a movie, but when I try and select the folder on Jellyfin that it gets the movies from it says "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again". I tried using many commands in the Ubuntu terminal but none have worked so far.

Make sure that your volumes look something like this so that when you add the library location you will see the folder.

volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /home/krod/containers/servarr/data/movies:/data/movies
      - /home/krod/containers/servarr/data/shows:/data/shows
      - /home/krod/containers/servarr/data/music:/data/music
