How do I log in to Jellyfin?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Jellyfin is ready". The page refreshes itself.
- Click Open app.
- Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is
yonetici, which is Turkish for "admin". There is no setup screen. - Upload your files over SFTP to the
/opt/seturack/jellyfin/medyafolder on the server. - Choose Dashboard > Libraries > Add Media Library and pick the path under
/mediaas the folder.
Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Jellyfin.
Good to know
- The server has no graphics card, so video transcoding runs on the CPU. Direct playback isn't affected.
- The Jellyfin documentation recommends 8 GB of memory for an average deployment (4 GB may be enough on a Linux server without a screen). For several viewers or a large library choose 8 GB or more; you can grow the size later.
- In the phone and TV apps, use the Site address value as the server address.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free
sslip.ioaddress based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens overhttp://instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
To use your own domain, see this article.
