Fix docker group permissions

Ref: https://www.synoforum.com/threads/permissions-for-user-to-run-docker.3536/post-16480

  • create the group "docker" from the ui or cli (sudo synogroup --add docker)
  • make it the group of the docker.sock: sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock
  • assign the user to the docker group in the ui or cli (sudo synogroup --member docker {username})
  • login into ssh as {username} and try (if you were already logged in before you created the group, logout and relogin)

Install Jellyfin

I however installed the app via the Docker package. This unfortunately doesnt provide an interface to run a container rootless. Looking for a workaround.
