Jellyfin is a free and open source media server that allows you to stream media files on multiple devices. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Jellyfin on Manjaro.
By default, Jellyfin is not included in the Manjaro repository. To install it, you need to add the Jellyfin repository to your system. Here are the steps to do it:
sudo pacman-key --recv-key 9CA6EE0A456C4263
sudo pacman-key --finger 9CA6EE0A456C4263
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S jellyfin
After installation, you can start the Jellyfin server by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start jellyfin.service
You can check the running status of Jellyfin server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status jellyfin.service
Once you have started the Jellyfin server, you can access its web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8096. You can also access Jellyfin from any other device on your network by using the IP address or hostname of your Manjaro machine followed by the port number.
That's it! You have successfully installed Jellyfin on Manjaro. You can now configure media libraries and start streaming your media files on your devices. Enjoy!
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
