Jellyfin ============ Jellyfin is a personal media server. The Jellyfin project was started as a result of Emby's decision to take their code closed-source, as well as various philosophical differences with the core developers. Jellyfin seeks to be the free software alternative to Emby and Plex to provide media management and streaming from a dedicated server to end-user devices. Jellyfin is descended from Emby 3.5.2, ported to the .NET Core framework, and aims to contain build facilities for every platform. For further details, please see [our wiki](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/wiki). To receive the latest project updates feel free to join [our public chat on Matrix/Riot](https://matrix.to/#/#jellyfin:matrix.org) and to subscribe to [our subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/). ## Feature Requests While our first priority is a stable build, we will eventually add features that were missing in Emby or were not well implemented (technically or philosophically). [Feature Requests](http://feathub.com/jellyfin/jellyfin) ## Prebuilt Jellyfin packages Prebuild packages are available for Debian/Ubuntu and Arch, and via Docker Hub. ### Docker The Jellyfin Docker image is available on Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/r/jellyfin/jellyfin/ ### Arch The Jellyfin package is in the AUR at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jellyfin-git/ ### Debian/Ubuntu A package repository is available at https://repo.jellyfin.org. To use it: 0. Install the `dotnet-runtime-2.1` package via [Microsoft's repositories](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.1). 0. Import the GPG signing key (signed by Joshua): ``` wget -O - https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian/jellyfin-signing-key-joshua.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add - ``` 0. Add an entry to `/etc/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list`: ``` echo "deb https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian $( grep -Ewo -m1 --color=none 'jessie|stretch|buster' /etc/os-release || echo buster ) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list ``` 0. Update APT repositories: ``` sudo apt update ``` 0. Install Jellyfin: ``` sudo apt install jellyfin ``` ## Building Jellyfin packages from source Jellyfin seeks to integrate build facilities for any desired packaging format. Instructions for the various formats can be found below. NOTE: When building from source, it is strongly advised to clone the full Git repository, rather than using a `.zip`/`.tar` archive. ### Debian/Ubuntu Debian build facilities are integrated into the repo at `debian/`. 1. Install the `dotnet-sdk-2.1` package via [Microsoft's repositories](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.1). 2. Run `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -jX`, where X is your core count. 3. Install the resulting `jellyfin*.deb` file on your system. A huge thanks to Carlos Hernandez who created the Debian build configuration for Emby 3.1.1.
