Community Maintained Packages

These packages are maintained by community packagers independent of Jellyfin for distributions not officially supported by Jellyfin. We can't always support problems with community-maintained packages. If you encounter trouble with them, please contact their maintainers first. If you're not sure, we recommend using container images on these systems instead.

Alpine Linux​

Jellyfin can be found in the community repository as jellyfin and jellyfin-web.

To enable the web UI after installing jellyfin-web, make sure to remove the --nowebclient option from /etc/conf.d/jellyfin.

Arch Linux​

The Extra repository contains builds for both jellyfin-server and jellyfin-web. jellyfin-server includes a hard dependency on jellyfin-ffmpeg.

Both packages, server and web, can also be built from source at the tip of the master branch using jellyfin-git. The AUR also offers each separately at jellyfin-server-git and jellyfin-web-git.

Fedora, CentOS and other RPM distributions​

Builds in RPM package format are provided by RPM Fusion. Official packages are no longer provided starting with 10.9.

RPM Fusion​

  1. rpmfusion must be enabled first

    sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

  2. Install the jellyfin package, which will automatically install jellyfin-server, jellyfin-web and jellyfin-firewalld

    sudo dnf install jellyfin

  3. Enable and start the Jellyfin service:

    sudo systemctl enable --now jellyfin

Manual installation via the .rpm packages​

  1. You will need to enable rpmfusion, as ffmpeg is a dependency of the jellyfin server package

    sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
    note

    You do not need to manually install ffmpeg; it will be installed by the Jellyfin server package as a dependency.

  2. Install the Jellyfin server

    sudo dnf install <link to server `.rpm` file URL>

  3. Install the Jellyfin web interface

    sudo dnf install <link to web `.rpm` file URL>

  4. Enable and start the Jellyfin service:

    sudo systemctl enable --now jellyfin

  5. Allow Jellyfin through the firewall:

    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=jellyfin
    note

    This will open the following ports:

    • 8096 TCP, used by default for HTTP traffic; you can change this in the dashboard
    • 8920 TCP, used by default for HTTPS traffic; you can change this in the dashboard
    • 1900 UDP, used for service auto-discovery; this is not configurable
    • 7359 UDP, used for auto-discovery; this is not configurable

  6. Reload the firewall to apply the new rules:

    sudo firewall-cmd --reload

  7. Go to localhost:8096 or ip-address-of-jellyfin-server:8096 to finish setup in the web UI.

Gentoo​

The Gentoo ebuild repository includes the Jellyfin package which can be installed like other software:

emerge --ask www-apps/jellyfin-bin

For more information, refer to the Gentoo wiki.

NixOS​

NixOS has a module for Jellyfin, it can be enabled as follows:

{
  services.jellyfin.enable = true;
}

For more information, refer to the NixOS wiki.

Flatpak​

The Jellyfin Server package is available on Flathub.

This package is provided for convenience only, and may be deprecated at any time. It is not recommended as Flatpak themselves don't recommend the use of Flatpak for server applications. Please use container images instead.

FreeBSD​

A Third-party Jellyfin build for FreeBSD is available. This is not supported by Jellyfin. Please report any issues to them. Issues reported to Jellyfin about this package will be closed without further investigation.
