linuxserver/jellyfin
Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps. Jellyfin is descended from Emby's 3.5.2 release and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support. There are no strings attached, no premium licenses or features, and no hidden agendas: just a team who want to build something better and work together to achieve it.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling ghcr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Version Tags
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| latest | Stable Jellyfin releases - Focal baseimage |
| bionic | Stable Jellyfin releases - Bionic baseimage |
| nightly | Nightly Jellyfin releases |
Application Setup
Webui can be found at http://<your-ip>:8096
More information can be found on the official documentation here.
Hardware Acceleration
Intel
Hardware acceleration users for Intel Quicksync will need to mount their /dev/dri video device inside of the container by passing the following command when running or creating the container:
--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri
We will automatically ensure the abc user inside of the container has the proper permissions to access this device.
Nvidia
Hardware acceleration users for Nvidia will need to install the container runtime provided by Nvidia on their host, instructions can be found here:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker
We automatically add the necessary environment variable that will utilise all the features available on a GPU on the host. Once nvidia-docker is installed on your host you will need to re/create the docker container with the nvidia container runtime --runtime=nvidia and add an environment variable -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all (can also be set to a specific gpu's UUID, this can be discovered by running nvidia-smi --query-gpu=gpu_name,gpu_uuid --format=csv ). NVIDIA automatically mounts the GPU and drivers from your host into the jellyfin docker container.
OpenMAX (Raspberry Pi)
Hardware acceleration users for Raspberry Pi MMAL/OpenMAX will need to mount their /dev/vcsm and /dev/vchiq video devices inside of the container and their system OpenMax libs by passing the following options when running or creating the container:
--device=/dev/vcsm:/dev/vcsm
--device=/dev/vchiq:/dev/vchiq
-v /opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib
V4L2 (Raspberry Pi)
Hardware acceleration users for Raspberry Pi V4L2 will need to mount their /dev/video1X devices inside of the container by passing the following options when running or creating the container:
--device=/dev/video10:/dev/video10
--device=/dev/video11:/dev/video11
--device=/dev/video12:/dev/video12

Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
Ports (-p)
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
8096 |
Http webUI. |
8920 |
Optional - Https webUI (you need to set up your own certificate). |
7359/udp |
Optional - Allows clients to discover Jellyfin on the local network. |
1900/udp |
Optional - Service discovery used by DNLA and clients. |
Environment Variables (-e)
| Env | Function |
|---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use (e.g. Europe/London). |
JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=192.168.0.5 |
Set the autodiscovery response domain or IP address. |
Volume Mappings (-v)
| Volume | Function |
|---|---|
/config |
Jellyfin data storage location. This can grow very large, 50gb+ is likely for a large collection. |
/data/tvshows |
Media goes here. Add as many as needed e.g. /data/movies, /data/tv, etc. |
/data/movies |
Media goes here. Add as many as needed e.g. /data/movies, /data/tv, etc. |
/opt/vc/lib |
Path for Raspberry Pi OpenMAX libs optional. |
Device Mappings (--device)
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
/dev/dri |
Only needed if you want to use your Intel GPU for hardware accelerated video encoding (vaapi). |
/dev/vcsm |
Only needed if you want to use your Raspberry Pi MMAL video decoding (Enabled as OpenMax H264 decode in gui settings). |
/dev/vchiq |
Only needed if you want to use your Raspberry Pi OpenMax video encoding. |
/dev/video10 |
Only needed if you want to use your Raspberry Pi V4L2 video encoding. |
/dev/video11 |
Only needed if you want to use your Raspberry Pi V4L2 video encoding. |
/dev/video12 |
Only needed if you want to use your Raspberry Pi V4L2 video encoding. |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
Optional Parameters
The official documentation for ports has additional ports that can provide auto discovery.
Service Discovery (1900/udp) - Since client auto-discover would break if this option were configurable, you cannot change this in the settings at this time. DLNA also uses this port and is required to be in the local subnet.
Client Discovery (7359/udp) - Allows clients to discover Jellyfin on the local network. A broadcast message to this port with "Who is Jellyfin Server?" will get a JSON response that includes the server address, ID, and name.
-p 7359:7359/udp \
-p 1900:1900/udp \
The official documentation for environmentals has additional environmentals that can provide additional configurability such as migrating to the native Jellyfin image.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
