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.

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/
.
- Install the
dotnet-sdk-2.1
package via Microsoft's repositories. - Run
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -jX
, where X is your core count. - 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, which is forward-ported to 3.4.1 in this repository. His repository is here and contains stock packages for the 3.1.1 release.
