Media management

Warning

This is for educational purposes only 😉 Use it at your own risk!

Initial setup

  • Jellyfin https://jellyfin.example.com:
    • Create an admin user and save the credentials to your password manager
    • Add media libraries:
      • Movies at /media/movies
      • Shows at /media/shows

Optionally, for convenience, you can add a guest account without a password in Jellyfin, allow access to all libraries, and allow that account to manage requests in Jellyseerr.

Usage

Here's a suggested flow:

  • Users using the guest account can request media in Jellyseerr
  • Admins approve the request (or you can enable auto-approve)
  • Wait for the media to be downloaded
  • Watch on Jellyfin

You may need to increase the volume size depending on your usage.
