Jellyfin is a free and open-source media server, allowing you to manage and stream your media files to any device with a web browser or compatible app. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Jellyfin on Alpine Linux Latest.
To follow this tutorial, you need:
Before we start installing Jellyfin, update the system to the latest packages by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Next, add the Jellyfin repository to the system by creating a new file named jellyfin.repo in the /etc/apk/repositories directory with the following content:
http://repo.jellyfin.org/alpine/latest
You can create the file and add the content using the following command:
echo "http://repo.jellyfin.org/alpine/latest" | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repositories
To ensure the packages downloaded from the Jellyfin repository are secure and not tampered with, we need to import the Jellyfin signing key:
wget -O - https://repo.jellyfin.org/jellyfin_team.gpg.key | sudo tee /etc/apk/keys/jellyfin_team.rsa.pub >/dev/null
Now we are ready to install Jellyfin by running the following command:
sudo apk add jellyfin
The installation process will download and install all the necessary packages and dependencies.
After the installation is complete, start the Jellyfin service using the following command:
sudo service jellyfin start
Jellyfin is now installed and running on your server. You can access it by typing the IP address or hostname of your server with port 8096 into your web browser.
http://your-server-ip:8096
You will be prompted to create a new user account and set up your media libraries.
Installing Jellyfin on Alpine Linux Latest is easy and straightforward. You can now start streaming media files to any device with a web browser or compatible app.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
