[[Category:Wiki]]

== Installation Steps ==

=== Prerequisites ===
Run the following command to update your package lists:

<nowiki>
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y</nowiki>

You will also need to install some required dependencies if they aren't already available on your system:

<nowiki>
sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common</nowiki>

=== Adding the Jellyfin Repository ===
Jellyfin provides an official repository for easy installation and updates. First, you need to add the Jellyfin repository to your system:

1. Download the repository’s GPG key to verify the packages:

<nowiki>
wget -qO - https://repo.jellyfin.org/keys/jellyfin.asc | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/jellyfin.asc</nowiki>

2. Add the Jellyfin repository:

<nowiki>
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/jellyfin.asc] https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list</nowiki>

3. Update your package list to reflect the new repository:

<nowiki>
sudo apt update</nowiki>

=== Installing Jellyfin ===
With the repository added, you can now install Jellyfin:

<nowiki>
sudo apt install jellyfin</nowiki>

This will download and install Jellyfin along with all the required dependencies.

=== Starting Jellyfin Service ===
After installation, Jellyfin will be automatically enabled to start on boot. You can manually start the Jellyfin server with the following command:

<nowiki>
sudo systemctl start jellyfin</nowiki>

To verify that Jellyfin is running, you can use:

<nowiki>
sudo systemctl status jellyfin</nowiki>

You should see output indicating that the Jellyfin service is active and running.

=== Enabling Jellyfin to Start on Boot ===
To ensure that Jellyfin starts automatically when your system reboots, run the following command:

<nowiki>
sudo systemctl enable jellyfin</nowiki>

=== Accessing Jellyfin Web Interface ===
Once Jellyfin is installed and running, you can access its web interface by navigating to:

<nowiki>
http://<your-server-ip>:8096</nowiki>

Use your web browser to access the above URL. The first time you visit this page, Jellyfin will guide you through the setup process.

== Security Concepts ==

=== Setting Up a Firewall ===
To secure your Jellyfin installation, you should configure a firewall. If you're using UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall), you can open port 8096 (default Jellyfin web interface port) as follows:

<nowiki>
sudo ufw allow 8096</nowiki>

If you plan to use Jellyfin with HTTPS, open port 443 as well:

<nowiki>
sudo ufw allow 443</nowiki>

Check the status of your firewall with:

<nowiki>
sudo ufw status</nowiki>

=== Secure Connections (HTTPS) ===
It's important to use HTTPS to secure your connections to the Jellyfin web interface. To enable HTTPS, you can use a reverse proxy such as Nginx or Apache with SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt.

1. Install Nginx:

<nowiki>
sudo apt install nginx</nowiki>

2. Set up a SSL certificate using Certbot:

<nowiki>
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx</nowiki>

3. Obtain and install the SSL certificate:

<nowiki>
sudo certbot --nginx</nowiki>

This will automatically configure Nginx for SSL with Let's Encrypt.

4. Once the SSL certificate is installed, Jellyfin will be accessible over HTTPS.

=== User Authentication and Permissions ===
To improve security, you can set up user authentication for accessing Jellyfin. In the web interface, navigate to **Admin Dashboard** > **Users** > **Add User**. Assign usernames, passwords, and permissions accordingly. You can limit access to specific libraries and manage user roles here.

=== Regular Security Updates ===
To ensure that Jellyfin stays secure, regularly check for updates:

<nowiki>
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade</nowiki>

For unattended updates, you can install and configure the unattended-upgrades package:

<nowiki>
sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades</nowiki>

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Jellyfin Not Starting ===
If Jellyfin is not starting, you can check the logs for any error messages:

<nowiki>
journalctl -u jellyfin -f</nowiki>

Look for any error messages that might indicate missing dependencies or misconfigurations.

If you see an issue with a database migration error, you may need to clear the Jellyfin data directory:

<nowiki>
sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin/*</nowiki>

Then restart the service:

<nowiki>
sudo systemctl start jellyfin</nowiki>

=== Jellyfin Web Interface Not Accessible ===
If the Jellyfin web interface is not accessible, make sure the service is running:

<nowiki>
sudo systemctl status jellyfin</nowiki>

Also, ensure that the server's firewall allows access to port 8096:

<nowiki>
sudo ufw status</nowiki>

If you're using a reverse proxy, ensure that the proxy configuration is correct.

=== Jellyfin Server Is Slow ===
If Jellyfin is running slowly, try the following:

1. Check system resources (CPU, RAM) with:

<nowiki>
top
</nowiki>

2. Ensure your media is stored on a fast disk and not an external USB drive.

3. Reduce the quality of transcoding in Jellyfin settings.

4. Make sure your network is not congested by checking bandwidth.

=== Audio/Video Playback Issues ===
If Jellyfin isn't playing media correctly, check the server logs for transcoding errors:

<nowiki>
journalctl -u jellyfin -f</nowiki>

Ensure that your system has the necessary codecs installed (like `ffmpeg`).

<nowiki>
sudo apt install ffmpeg</nowiki>

If the issue persists, try disabling hardware acceleration in the Jellyfin dashboard settings.
