Raw Blame History

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. To receive the latest project updates feel free to join our public chat on Matrix/Riot and to subscribe to our subreddit.

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

Prebuilt Jellyfin packages

Prebuild packages are available for Debian/Ubuntu and Arch.

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:

  1. Install the dotnet-runtime-2.1 package via Microsoft's repositories.
  2. 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 -
  3. 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
  4. Update APT repositories: 
    sudo apt update
  5. 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.
  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.
