Jellyfin

Install Jellyfin on Dcoker
This guide provides a Docker Compose YAML file to deploy a Jellyfin media server. 
 Prerequisites 
 
 Docker and Docker Compose must be installed. Refer to Docker Installation Guide for setup instructions. 
 Basic knowledge of Docker commands and file system permissions. 
 A local storage location for Jellyfin’s configuration, cache, and media files. 
 
 Setup 
 
 Create a directory for your Jellyfin setup (e.g., mkdir jellyfin && cd jellyfin). 
 Ensure the local storage paths (e.g., /mounted/local/storage/location) exist on your host system and have appropriate permissions (e.g., owned by user/group with IDs 1001). 
 Create a docker-compose.yml file in the directory. 
 
 Docker Compose YAML 
 
 yaml 
 
 
 
 version: "3"
services:
 jellyfin:
 image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
 container_name: jellyfin
 environment:
 - PUID=1001
 - PGID=1001
 - TZ=America/Los_Angeles
 volumes:
 - /home/user/jellyfin/config:/config
 - /home/user/jellyfin/cache:/cache
 - /home/user/jellyfin/media:/media
 ports:
 - 8098:8096
 restart: unless-stopped 
 Running the Service 
 
 In the directory containing docker-compose.yml, run:
 docker-compose up -d 
 
 Access Jellyfin by navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:8092 in a web browser. 
 
 Notes 
 
 Storage Paths : Replace /mounted/local/storage/location with actual paths on your host (e.g., /home/user/jellyfin/config ). Using the same path for /config , /cache , and /media may not be ideal; consider separate paths (e.g., /home/user/jellyfin/config , /home/user/jellyfin/cache , /home/user/jellyfin/media ) for better organization. 
 Permissions : Ensure the user/group IDs (PUID/PGID) match the owner of the storage paths. Adjust 1001 to match your system’s user/group IDs if needed (check with id <username> ). 
 Port : The service maps port 8098 on the host to 8096 in the container. Ensure 8098 is open on your firewall.
