Setting Up Jellyfin

Setting Up Jellyfin on Nébulaura

Jellyfin is a self-hosted AV streaming platform and a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) fork of the Emby project. It allows you to manage and stream your media library seamlessly.

Installation

To install Jellyfin, use the following command:

box install jellyfin

Once installed, complete the setup process through your web browser and create your admin user.

Access

You can access Jellyfin via the following URL:

https://<hostname.io>/<username>/jellyfin

Complete the setup process and configure your admin user to get started.

Upgrading Jellyfin

To upgrade your Jellyfin instance:

  1. Log in to the Web UI/dashboard provided for your service.
  2. Navigate to the Service Info section.
  3. Click Restart next to Jellyfin. This will restart the app and check for updates.

Note: Updates are typically available 2-3 days after the official release.

Library Management

By default, your home directory is mounted in Jellyfin as /data/. This directory contains all the files from your home directory. If you are using an application like l3uddz autoscan with the *arrs, you may need to apply a rewrite rule to replace /home/<username> with /data.

User Management

Jellyfin manages its users in a separate database. Use the Web UI to manage users and media within the platform.

Service Management

Manage Jellyfin via SSH with the following commands:

  • Status: Check the current status of Jellyfin.
  • Start: Start the Jellyfin service.
  • Stop: Stop the Jellyfin service.
  • Restart: Restart the Jellyfin service.
  • Enable: Configure Jellyfin to start automatically at boot.
  • Disable: Prevent Jellyfin from starting at boot.

Example:

box start jellyfin

Troubleshooting
