Jellyfin

Usage

Jellyfin is used for video streaming on https://stream.halia.dev. This repository only contains configuration of the currently used Jellyfin instance.

Requirements

Do deploy this instance, you only need to install docker-compose and docker.

Installation

To deploy a copy of this instance, you might want to modify where the volumes are pointing to. Then run

docker-compose up -d

All necessary images should be downloaded automatically and the service should be started in the background.

Start on boot

If you want to use NFS volumes mounted directly inside the container, it is highly recommended to use systemd to start the service on boot.

Notice the sleep of 10 seconds, it seems like starting the process straight after boot fails because of some NFS confusion, adding a timer fixes the problem until a better solution is found.
