Jellyfin

Use these steps to run Jellyfin with Docker Compose.

Create the Compose File​

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the Jellyfin service:

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - /srv/jellyfin/config:/config
      - /srv/jellyfin/cache:/cache
      - /media:/media
    restart: unless-stopped

You can also use the GitHub Container Registry image if preferred:

image: ghcr.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

Create the Storage Directories​

Create the Jellyfin config and cache directories:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/jellyfin/{config,cache}

Start Jellyfin​

Run Docker Compose from the directory containing docker-compose.yml:

docker compose up -d

Jellyfin will be available at http://localhost:8096.

Reverse Proxy / HTTPS​

If you need public HTTPS access, put Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy like Nginx Proxy Manager.
