Stream movies/tv-shows/music to a browser, or a [large selection of devices and services.](https://jellyfin.org/clients/) * [Official site](https://jellyfin.org/) * [Github](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin) * [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jellyfin/jellyfin/) 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) # Files and directory structure ``` /mnt/ └── bigdisk/ ├── tv/ ├── movies/ └── music/ /home/ └── ~/ └── docker/ └── jellyfin/ ├── jellyfin-cache/ ├── jellyfin-config/ ├── transcodes/ ├── .env ├── docker-compose.yml └── jellyfin-backup-script.sh ``` * `/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: - 1900:1900/udp networks: default: name: $DOCKER_MY_NETWORK external: true ``` `.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).

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 dont care
