In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Jellyfin on Debian. Jellyfin is a free and open-source media server software that allows you to organize and stream your media files over different devices.
Before installing Jellyfin ensure that the following requirements are met:
Log in to your Debian system and run the following command to check for updates:
sudo apt-get update
Upgrade any outdated packages by running:
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Jellyfin requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https wget gnupg ca-certificates
Add the Jellyfin repository to your Debian system by running:
wget -O - https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian/jellyfin_team.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=$( dpkg --print-architecture )] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian $( lsb_release -c -s ) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list
You can now install Jellyfin by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jellyfin
After the installation, start the Jellyfin service by running:
sudo systemctl start jellyfin
Enable the service to run automatically at system start by running:
sudo systemctl enable jellyfin
The Jellyfin service is now running, and it's time to access the web interface by opening a web browser and typing this URL http://localhost:8096.
However, if you are accessing Jellyfin on a remote server, replace localhost with the IP address or the hostname of the server.
Jellyfin is a powerful media server software that allows you to organize, stream and access your media files over different devices. The above steps guide you on how to install Jellyfin on Debian latest. We hope this tutorial was handy, and you were successful in the installation process.
