I have Emby installed and ever since i moved to scale it has not working with a simple install.
I previously edited the yaml files and get it to deploy successfully, however now I start to see where the source of the issue is

If I install with "Enable Host Network" checked, it gets stuck on deploying and if you click on the app, it shows;
Used Ports:8096\TCP, 1900\UDP, 7359\UDP
Even though it shows as deploying, the app actually works and is accessible via 9096, but shows as stuck in deploying.

If you click on Appl Events, you see
Startup probe failed: Get "http://192.168.x.x:8096/emby/System/Ping": dial tcp 192.168.24.15:8096: connect: connection refused
(this is where i modified the yaml files before to fix, but it has to be done for every update.
I created a jira ticket, and they closed it has nothing wrong - really bad support from the charts group)

If I install with "Enable Host Network" unchecked, it gets stuck on deploying and if you click on the app, it shows;
Used Ports:9096\TCP, 8096\TCP, 1900\UDP, 7359\UDP
Even though it shows as deploying, the app does not work and is not accessible via either 8096 nor 9096.

If you click on App Events, you still see
Startup probe failed: Get "http://192.168.x.x:8096/emby/System/Ping": dial tcp 192.168.24.15:8096: connect: connection refused

What exactly does not "Enable Host Network" actually do?

To get emby to work;
- "Enable Host Network" needs to be checked
- you need to edit "ix-applications/releases/emby/charts/1.0.18/templates"
deployment.yaml, service-tcp.yaml and portal.tpl and replace the 8096 with 9096
- within emby, you need to set the 8096 port to 9096

It doesn't solve the
"Startup probe failed: Get "http://192.168.x.x:8096/emby/System/Ping": dial tcp 192.168.x.x:8096: connect: connection refused"
but it does fixed the deployment stuck

Really don't understand why after all this time, they can't solve this issue. obviously there is a config issue with their template

Is this the IX Emby or the TrueCharts Emby?

Works just fine here.
Deploys correctly, I didn't check the enable host network box.
I did use a host path for the config and obviously one for the media (RO). I did not try to assign a GPU (no point without a license)

Just works

I imagine you have some sort of permissions issues

I don't think so if all that is required to stop it from hanging on Deploying is to;
- "Enable Host Network" needs to be checked
- edit "ix-applications/releases/emby/charts/1.0.18/templates"
deployment.yaml, service-tcp.yaml and portal.tpl and replace the 8096 with 9096
- within emby, you need to set the 8096 port to 9096

also had a previous thread from two years ago.
