Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server that can be used to manage and stream your media files from anywhere in the world. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Jellyfin on POP! OS Latest.
Before you start, make sure that your POP! OS Latest system is up-to-date and has the necessary dependencies installed. You can update your system by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
To install the necessary dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https wget gnupg2 curl
First, you need to add the Jellyfin repository to your system. To do this, run the following commands:
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
Once the repository is added, update your system's package list and install Jellyfin by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install jellyfin
After the installation is complete, you can access the Jellyfin server interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8096.
Here, you can create a new user account, configure media libraries, and more.
If you want to access Jellyfin server from another device in your network, make sure you have allowed the port 8096 in your firewall.
You can then access the Jellyfin server interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<your_server_ip>:8096. Replace <your_server_ip> with the IP address of the POP! OS Latest system running Jellyfin.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Jellyfin on POP! OS Latest. Now, you can manage and stream your media files with the Jellyfin media server.
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!
