Jellyfin on OMV | How to Install

Jellyfin is a popular open-source media server. It comes with multimedia applications that help organize, manage, and share digital media files to networked devices.

Did you know that we can transform our device into a powerful media server with Jellyfin and Docker?

Today, we are going to take a close look at how to install Jellyfin using Docker and Docker Compose.

How to Install Jellyfin with Docker

To begin with, pull the Jellyfin image from Dockerhub. We can do this via SSH:

docker pull linuxserver/jellyfin

This uses Docker and Compose to install Jellyfin.

After installation, we can view Jellyfin in its new container by heading to Containers under Compose.

Now, we can go ahead and access Jellyfin by going to our server’s IP address and adding the port number at the end. The default port is 8096. The URL will look like this:

http://192.168.x.xx:8096 or http://10.x.x.x:8096

How to Install Jellyfin via Docker Compose

If you want to customize installation locations or have existing media folders set up, Docker Compose is the way to go.

1. First, set up media folders as shared on the network.
2. Then, head to Shared Folders under Storage and copy the URL of the created directories.
3. Next, go to Files under Compose and click Create (plus).
4. Next, paste the Docker Compose script obtained from the website.
5. Finally, modify the script to specify installation paths, ensuring it points to existing folders.

After installing Jellyfin, we have to set up a profile, and password, and choose our folders. If we have followed the steps correctly, selected folders will be available and begin populating once the setup is complete.
