Jellyfin

Jellyfin is the volunteer-built, completely free and open-source media system that puts you in control of managing and streaming your digital media. It supports movies, TV shows, music, books, photos, and live TV with no premium features locked behind a paywall. This stack deploys the official Jellyfin container with separate volumes for configuration, cache, and media files. Jellyfin provides automatic metadata fetching, subtitle downloads, hardware-accelerated transcoding (Intel QSV, NVIDIA NVENC, VAAPI), and multi-user support with parental controls. Client applications are available for web browsers, Android, iOS, Roku, Fire TV, Kodi, and many more platforms. After deployment, access the web UI on port 8096 to complete the setup wizard, add your media libraries, and create user accounts.
