Jellyfin

Stream your movies, shows and music from a server you control to any device

GitHub 59k Self-hosted Open Source GPL-2.0 Web

Jellyfin is a free media system for managing and streaming your own media library. It is for people who want to watch and listen to their files from a server they run, and it is a free alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex.

The server runs on your own hardware and sends media to end-user devices through multiple apps. There are no premium licenses or paywalled features, and the project is licensed under GPL 2.0. Jellyfin is descended from Emby 3.5.2 and ported to .NET, so it works across operating systems.

Quick start

For a quick try only. See the official docs for data volumes, environment variables and a production setup.

Docker image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
docker run -d \
  --name jellyfin \
  -p 8096:8096 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

Then open http://localhost:8096
