Jellyfin

Setup Server

Docker

The official container and documentation was made by linuxserver. This docker-rebuild is made up by a docker-compose.yml file.

Environment-variables

Set the following environment-variables in the environment: section of the docker-compose file.

Name	Usage	Default
PUID	Userid to run the container
PGID	Groupid to run the container
TZ	specify the timezone

Volumes

Set the following volumes in the volumes: section of the docker-compose file.

Volume-Name	Container mount	Description
config	/config	storage for config files of jellyfin
media_movies	/data/movies	storage for movies
media_tvshows	/data/tvshows	storage for tvshows
transcode	/transcode	tmp storage to transcode

Because it is useful to have the possibility to use the media_movies and media_tvshows in multiple containers, it is recommended to use them as external volumes (volumes section: external: true instead of driver: local). To use the rebuild the volumes have to exist before creating the container (docker volume create media_movies and tvshows accordingly).

Ports

Set the following ports in the ports: section.

Container Port	Recommended outside port	Protocol	Description
8096	8096	TCP	WebUI
