March 22, 20251 yr OK, new Unraid user here. I've created and started my array, created some user shares, and installed a handful of Docker apps successfully. I have a conceptual idea of what I'm wanting to accomplish here, but I'm still lacking the practical knowledge to how to make it happen (or if it's even possible)... Let's say I have a user share called audio, containing some folders of audio files. What I'm wanting to do is have those audio files visible to, and accessible from, both a Nextcloud container and a Navidrome container (so that I only need one instance of the files on the server). I've got Nextcloud installed (and can successfully access it externally via a Cloudflare tunnel). I've spent several hours perusing Unraid and Nextcloud forums, but so far I've come up empty in terms of how to point Nextcloud to the share. I've held off installing Navidrome while I try to get this sorted. Any tips? Thanks in advance...

March 22, 20251 yr Author Thanks for the tip, which got me thinking about the additional paths I had set up for the Krusader container. In hopes of saving somebody else the time of running down multiple rabbit trails to piece everything together, here's what got things working for me... I already had the Nextcloud container User Files pointed to a share that I thought would be visible, but it turns out I had to create an additional path pointed to a separate share entry in order for everything to come together (see bottom entry below). Then in Nextcloud, go to the Apps and enable the External Storage app (included, but disabled by default). Go into the Admin settings on Nextcloud, then in the Admin section of the left menu (lower down) define a local storage pointed to the newly created share, enabling Nextcloud sharing for the files in that share (which is not enabled by default).
