## About

[jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) organizes video, music, live TV, and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This container is packaged as a standalone jellyfin Media Server.

This addon is based on the [docker image](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-jellyfin) from linuxserver.io.

## Configuration

Webui can be found at `<your-ip>:8096` or through the sidebar using Ingress.

### Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `PGID` | int | `0` | Group ID for file permissions |
| `PUID` | int | `0` | User ID for file permissions |
| `TZ` | str | | Timezone (e.g., `Europe/London`) |
| `data_location` | str | `/share/jellyfin` | Path where Jellyfin data is stored |
| `localdisks` | str | | Local drives to mount (e.g., `sda1,sdb1,MYNAS`) |
| `networkdisks` | str | | SMB shares to mount (e.g., `//SERVER/SHARE`) |
| `cifsusername` | str | | SMB username for network shares |
| `cifspassword` | str | | SMB password for network shares |
| `cifsdomain` | str | | SMB domain for network shares |
| `i915_enable_guc` | int | | Optional Intel iGPU `enable_guc` parameter (0-3) applied at startup for improved hardware encoding compatibility. Does not reconfigure the kernel; the host must already expose `/sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_guc`. |
| `DOCKER_MODS` | list | | Additional Docker mods for hardware acceleration |

### Example Configuration

```yaml
PGID: 0
PUID: 0
TZ: "Europe/London"
data_location: "/share/jellyfin"
localdisks: "sda1,sdb1"
networkdisks: "//192.168.1.100/media,//nas.local/movies"
cifsusername: "mediauser"
cifspassword: "password123"
cifsdomain: "workgroup"
DOCKER_MODS:
  - "linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel"
  - "linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd"
```

### Hardware Acceleration

Available Docker mods for hardware acceleration:
- `linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-opencl-intel` - Intel OpenCL support
- `linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-amd` - AMD hardware acceleration
- `linuxserver/mods:jellyfin-rffmpeg` - Custom FFmpeg build

For Intel systems that require GuC submission for stable hardware encoding (e.g., N6005), set `i915_enable_guc` to `2` to apply the kernel parameter at container startup. The add-on only writes to the existing runtime module parameter; no kernel rebuild or boot parameter change is attempted. If the path `/sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_guc` is missing or read-only on the host kernel, the add-on logs a warning and continues without modification.

### Mounting Drives

This addon supports mounting both local drives and remote SMB shares:

- **Local drives**: See [Mounting Local Drives in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Mounting-Local-Drives-in-Addons)
- **Remote shares**: See [Mounting Remote Shares in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Mounting-remote-shares-in-Addons)

### Custom Scripts and Environment Variables

This addon supports custom scripts and environment variables through the `addon_config` mapping:

- **Custom scripts**: See [Running Custom Scripts in Addons](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Running-custom-scripts-in-Addons)
- **env_vars option**: Use the add-on `env_vars` option to pass extra environment variables (uppercase or lowercase names). See https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add-Environment-variables-to-your-Addon-2 for details.

### Enable ssl
#### Creating the PFX certificate file first
1. This part assumes you already have SSL certs in PEM format using the Let's Encrypt add on
2. Run this command `openssl pkcs12 -export -in fullchain.pem -inkey private_key.pem -passout pass: -out server.pfx`
3. Set the permission using `chmod 0700 server.pfx`
> Note:
> The above command creates a PFX file without a password, you can fill in a password with `-passout pass:"your-password"`
> but will also have to provide `your-password` to Jellyfin's configuration

#### Automating the PFX certificate

#### Jellyfin configuration
1. From the sidebar, click on `Administration` -> `Dashboard`
2. Under `Networking`, `Server Address Settings`, tick `Enable HTTPS`
3. Under `HTTPS Settings`, tick `Require HTTPS`
4. For `Custom SSL certificate path:`, point it to your PFX file and fill in the `Certificate password` if required
5. Scroll to the bottom and `Save`

## Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in
comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

1. [Add my Hass.io add-ons repository][repository] to your Hass.io instance.
1. Install this add-on.
1. Click the `Save` button to store your configuration.
1. Start the add-on.
1. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
1. Carefully configure the add-on to your preferences, see the official documentation for for that.
