Installing via compose.yaml

1. Go to the dockers folder and create all folders needed for Docker:

   Copy cd ~/dockers && mkdir -p jellyfin/{cache,config,fonts,movies,shows}

2. Create your compose file:

   Copy

   nano compose.yaml

   services:
     jellyfin:
       image: jellyfin/jellyfin
       container_name: jellyfin
       user: uid:gid
       ports:
         - 8096:8096/tcp
         - 7359:7359/udp
       volumes:
         - /path/to/config:/config
         - /path/to/cache:/cache
         - type: bind
           source: /path/to/media
           target: /media
         - type: bind
           source: /path/to/media2
           target: /media2
           read_only: true
         # Optional - extra fonts to be used during transcoding with subtitle burn-in
         - type: bind
           source: /path/to/fonts
           target: /usr/local/share/fonts/custom
           read_only: true
       restart: 'unless-stopped'
       # Optional - alternative address used for autodiscovery
       environment:
         - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=http://example.com
       # Optional - may be necessary for docker healthcheck to pass if running in host network mode
       extra_hosts:
         - 'host.docker.internal:host-gateway'

3. You need to change a few things like the path to media, fonts, etc. To check your current path, type:

   pwd

   Then type the folder name you want to use.

4. Also check your user ID and group ID for the user: uid:gid line:

   id

   Most likely, the result will be 1000:1000.

File Sharing

SCP

1. Move 1 file (on your PC, not over SSH):

   scp /path/to/file.mp4 john@192.168.9.9:/srv/media/Movies/

2. Move a whole folder (use -r for recursive):

   scp -r /path/to/folder john@192.168.9.9:/srv/media/Movies/

3. Example with Ted (2012):

   scp -r /home/username/Downloads/Done/ted-2012/Ted\ \(2012\).mp4 onetboy21@192.168.X.X:/srv/media/Movies

SFTP

If you’re using Dolphin (on Arch Linux, like me):

1. Open File Manager and go to Network.
2. Add your Raspberry Pi address:

sftp://pi@your.pi.ip

3. Done — you’re now connected via Dolphin file manager.
