Jellyfin

Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server for movies, TV shows, and music. This setup runs two instances with Podman Compose: one main and one “NSFW” (separate libraries).

What the compose file does

Service: `jellyfin`

Image: docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
Port: 8068 → container 8096
Restart: unless-stopped
Volumes:
- Config: /mnt/storage/jellyfin/data/config → /config
- Cache: /mnt/storage/jellyfin/data/cache → /cache
- Media: /mnt/storage/jellyfin/media → /media

Service: `jellyfin-nsfw`

Same image and structure, separate container.
Port: 8069 → container 8096
Volumes: Use /mnt/storage/jellyfin-nsfw/ for config, cache, and media.

Each instance has its own config and media paths so libraries and settings stay separate.

Prerequisites

Podman and Podman Compose installed
Host directories created:
- Main: config, cache, media under /mnt/storage/jellyfin/data/ and /mnt/storage/jellyfin/
- NSFW: same under /mnt/storage/jellyfin-nsfw/

How to use

Go to the project folder:
```
cd jellyfin
```
Start both instances:
```
podman-compose up -d
```
Open the web UI:
- Main: http://<your-host>:8068
- NSFW: http://<your-host>:8069
First run:
Complete the setup wizard (language, admin user, add media libraries from /media).
Stop:
```
podman-compose down
```

Useful commands

Action	Command
Start	`podman-compose up -d`
Stop	`podman-compose down`
Logs	`podman-compose logs -f`

Customization

To run only one instance, comment out the other service in podman-compose.yml or use:
```
podman-compose up -d jellyfin
```
Change ports by editing the ports mapping (e.g. 8068:8096 → 8096:8096).
Add or change media by placing files in the host media path and adding/scanning libraries in the Jellyfin UI.
