Jellyfin on Cresdock
Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server — stream your own movies, shows and music to any device, with no subscription and no server-side telemetry.
What Cresdock sets up for you
Gets its own web address (a subdomain, not a sub-path) so native phone, TV and streaming-box apps connect the same way they would to any Jellyfin server.
Exempt from the panel's login screen by design — a TV app can't carry a browser cookie, so Jellyfin's own account system runs instead.
Locked to the installing IP until its setup wizard is completed, then the lock lifts on its own — a stranger can't find and claim a freshly-installed server before you do.
Installing it
- Pick it from the catalog
From your dashboard, choose Jellyfin and click Install — no Dockerfile, no compose file.
- Wait a couple of minutes
The panel pulls the image, seeds its configuration, and starts it up.
- Open it from your dashboard
Your access details are on the app's card, and you can start, stop, update or remove it with a click, any time.
Common questions
Do I need to know Docker to run Jellyfin?
No — it's a one-click install through the panel, same as every app in the catalog.
Is my Jellyfin data safe during an update?
Yes. Updates and reinstalls change Jellyfin's own configuration only — never your downloaded files or media library, by design.
Can I remove Jellyfin later without losing my setup?
Removing it can keep its configuration for a future reinstall — you choose when you remove it.
