History

In their own words, "Jellyfin is the volunteer-built media solution that puts you in control of your media. Stream to any device from your own server, with no strings attached. Your media, your server, your way." More information on Multimedia:Jellyfin can be found on their website.

This service was setup to enable multimedia streaming both locally and externally from my home as a replacement to Plex. Authorized users can navigate to my Jellyfin server and login. Access is managed locally and given to close friends and family members.

Deployment

This guide is intended for those attempting Jellyfin setup on a fresh server. For more information about the infrastructure behind this service, please see Servers:SAD-JELLY01.
