Jellyfin

Jellyfin is a personal media server. The Jellyfin project was started as a result of Emby's decision to take their code closed-source, as well as various philosophical differences with the core developers. Jellyfin seeks to be the free software alternative to Emby and Plex to provide media management and streaming from a dedicated server to end-user devices.

Jellyfin is descended from Emby 3.5.2, ported to the .NET Core framework, and aims to contain build facilities for every platform.

For further details, please see our wiki and join our public chat on Matrix/Riot.

Feature Requests

While our first priority is a stable build, we will eventually add features that were missing in Emby or were not well implemented (technically or philosophically).

Feature Requests

Building Jellyfin packages

Jellyfin seeks to integrate build facilities for any desired packaging format. Instructions for the various formats can be found below.

Debian/Ubuntu

Debian build facilities are integrated into the repo at debian/.

  1. Install the dotnet-sdk-2.1 package via Microsoft's repositories.
  2. Run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -jX, where X is your core count.
  3. Install the resulting jellyfin*.deb file on your system.

A huge thanks to Carlos Hernandez who created the Debian build configuration for Emby 3.1.1.
