Requirements
Jellyfin is not particularly resource hungry in general.
I've found that the most common "slowdowns" are caused be library scanning. If you add a whole lot of media to the libraries at once, (like multiple TB...) it'll bog down for a long time.
Current testbed:
- Debian LXC
- CPU: 4 cores
- RAM: 2048MB
- DISK: 64GB
I'm actually running it live on a Debian VM, but the testbed is being used to write this page...
Installation
sudo apt install curl gnupgcurl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
Pretty hard... eh?
Storage
Personally, I like to use NFS for my data storage needs.
You could simply try to give the media server enough local storage for ALL of your media, but, how much storage will you eventually need? (Hint: More than you think...)
Initial Configuration
- Browse to http://MEDIASERVER:8096
- (Replace MEDIASERVER with the IP or FQDN of your server...)
- Follow the prompts
- (Admin user will be able to manage the server through the WEB UI)
- Setup your media libraries
Some Reference Materials
Some Useful Links
- Using Jellyfin
- Installation
