Your Jellyfin web interface will be accessible from a link on your Manage page.

Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps. Jellyfin is descended from Emby's 3.5.2 release and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support.

Installation

Visit your Settings page and enable Jellyfin, and then follow the instructions.

Usage

Your Jellyfin web interface will be accessible from a link on your Manage page. Jellyfin will run you through a setup wizard for creating a user and setting up your first libraries. You will not be able to navigate to your slot using the built-in filesystem navigator, so you will need to enter the full path to the directory you want to add to your library, for example /home/user/files

It is required to enable a username and password on your Jellyfin instance if it is not already set up. You can do this in Jellyfin's web interface under the Settings > Users > Your user > Password category. You should not use your slot password here because the web interface does not use SSL. Click Save to save the configuration.
