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.
|

## 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).

## 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:
|
|
|
|
0. Install the `dotnet-runtime-2.1` package via [Microsoft's repositories](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/debian9/sdk-2.1.500).
|
|
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/linux-package-manager/debian9/sdk-2.1.500).
|
|
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.
