Stream movies/tv-shows/music to a browser, or a [large selection of devices and services.](https://jellyfin.org/clients/)

Jellyfin if a free media system, an alternative to proprietary Plex.
The core server side is written in C#, web client in Javascript,
and a number of other clients written in various languages and frameworks.
Starting point for me was [this viggy96 repo](https://github.com/viggy96/container_config)

* `/mnt/bigdisk/...` - a mounted media storage share
* `jellyfin-cache/` - cache
* `jellyfin-config/` - configuration
* `transcodes/` - transcoded video storage
* `.env` - a file containing environment variables for docker compose
* `docker-compose.yml` - a docker compose file, telling docker how to run the containers
* `jellyfin-backup-script.sh` - a backup script if you want it
You only need to provide the files.
The directories are created by docker compose on the first run.
# docker-compose
The media are mounted in read only mode.
`docker-compose.yml`
```yml
services:
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
container_name: jellyfin
hostname: jellyfin
restart: unless-stopped
env_file: .env
devices:
- /dev/dri
volumes:
- ./transcodes/:/transcodes
- ./jellyfin-config:/config
- ./jellyfin-cache:/cache
- /mnt/bigdisk/serialy:/media/video:ro
- /mnt/bigdisk/mp3/moje:/media/music:ro
expose:
- 8096
ports:

```
`.env`
```bash
# GENERAL
MY_DOMAIN=example.com
DOCKER_MY_NETWORK=caddy_net
TZ=Europe/Bratislava
```
**All containers must be on the same network**.
Which is named in the `.env` file.
If one does not exist yet: `docker network create caddy_net`
# Reverse proxy
Caddy is used, details
[here](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/caddy_v2).
`Caddyfile`
```
jellyfin.{$MY_DOMAIN} {
reverse_proxy jellyfin:8096
}
```
# First run

# Specifics of my setup
* no long term use yet
* no gpu, so no experience with hw transcoding
* media files are stored and shared on trunas scale VM
and mounted directly on the docker host using [systemd mounts](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/root-tip-systemd-mount-unit-samples/1191),
instead of fstab or autofs.
`/etc/systemd/system/mnt-bigdisk.mount`

If it works then clear the cookies in your browser.
# Update
Manual image update:
- `docker-compose pull`
- `docker-compose up -d`
- `docker image prune`
# Backup and restore
#### Backup
Using [borg](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/borg_backup)
that makes daily snapshot of the entire directory.
#### Restore
* down the bookstack containers `docker-compose down`
* delete the entire bookstack directory
* from the backup copy back the bookstack directory
* start the containers `docker-compose up -d`
# Backup of just user data
