🍿 Jellyfin — Entertainment Empire

Tired of algorithmic recommendations for shows you pretended to like?
Jellyfin lets you stream your own media — no ads, no trackers, no judgment.

🧠 TL;DR

It’s like Plex… but without the subscription emails.
Organize movies, shows, anime, music — heck, your home videos from 2004.
Host it yourself. Control everything. Never buffer again (unless your Wi-Fi sucks).

🐳 Docker (Because you like it neat)

By now, you’re probably a Docker + Portainer ninja 🥷 So here’s your trusty docker-compose.yml for Jellyfin:

    version: '3.8'

    services:
    jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    container_name: jellyfin
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
    - /path/to/config:/config
    - /path/to/cache:/cache
    - /path/to/media:/media
    restart: unless-stopped

🧰 Setup Guide (For native install — the “bare metal” way)

Crack open a terminal. Take a deep breath. You’re about to self-host Hollywood.

Add the official Jellyfin repo:

curl -fsSL https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | bash

Update your package index and install:
Terminal window
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt install jellyfin
```
Start Jellyfin and enable it to auto-start:
Terminal window
```
sudo systemctl enable --now jellyfin
```
Access the dashboard in your browser:
Terminal window
```
http://your-device-ip:8096
```

🎨 Lookin’ Good

Want to customize how Jellyfin looks?

Go to: Dashboard → Display
Choose themes: Light, Dark, Vaporwave, or “Did I just enter the Matrix?”
Add backdrops, posters, fanart — Jellyfin loves drama.

📱 Where Can I Watch?

Web browser (localhost or LAN)
Android & iOS apps
Android TV / Fire TV / Roku
LG / Samsung Smart TVs
Steam Deck? Yup, that too.
If your toaster can run a browser, Jellyfin probably works on it.

🔐 Lock It Down (Security Tips)

If you’re opening Jellyfin to the world:

Use an NGINX reverse proxy with HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt is free!)
Enforce strong passwords (no “1234”… please)
Disable public access unless you’re cool with strangers watching your home movies
