title: Run Jellyfin in Docker with docker compose / swarm
description: Jellyfin is best described as "like Emby but really FOSS"

# Jellyfin
[Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/) is best described as "_like [Emby][emby] but really [FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software)_".
![Jellyfin Screenshot](../images/jellyfin.png){ loading=lazy }
If it looks very similar as Emby, is because it started as a fork of it, but it has evolved since them. For a complete explanation of the why, look [here](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/about.html).

## Preparation
### Setup data locations
We'll need a location to store Jellyfin's library data, config files, logs and temporary transcoding space, so create ``/var/data/jellyfin``, and make sure it's owned by the user and group who also own your media data.
```bash
mkdir /var/data/jellyfin
```
Also if we want to avoid the cache to be part of the backup, we should create a location to map it on the runtime folder. It also has to be owned by the user and group who also own your media data.
```bash
mkdir /var/data/runtime/jellyfin
```
### Prepare environment
Create jellyfin.env, and populate with PUID/GUID for the user who owns the /var/data/jellyfin directory (_above_) and your actual media content (_in this example, the media content is at **/srv/data**_)
```bash
PUID=
GUID=
```
### Setup Docker Swarm
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
```yaml
version: "3.0"
services:
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin
env_file: /var/data/config/jellyfin/jellyfin.env
volumes:
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
- /var/data/jellyfin:/config
- /var/data/runtime/jellyfin:/cache
- /var/data/jellyfin/jellyfin:/config
- /srv/data/:/data
deploy:
labels:
# traefik common
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
# traefikv1
- traefik.frontend.rule=Host:jellyfin.example.com
- traefik.port=8096
# traefikv2
- "traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.rule=Host(`jellyfin.example.com`)"
- "traefik.http.services.jellyfin.loadbalancer.server.port=8096"
- "traefik.enable=true"
networks:
- traefik_public
ports:
- 8096:8096
networks:
traefik_public:
external: true
```

## Serving
### Launch Jellyfin stack
Launch the stack by running ```docker stack deploy jellyfin -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>```
Log into your new instance at https://**YOUR-FQDN**, and complete the wizard-based setup to complete deploying your Jellyfin.
[^1]: I didn't use an [oauth2_proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/) for this stack, because it would interfere with mobile client support.
[^2]: Got an NVIDIA GPU? See [this blog post](https://www.funkypenguin.co.nz/note/gpu-transcoding-with-emby-plex-using-docker-nvidia/) re how to use your GPU to transcode your media!
[^3]: We don't bother exposing the HTTPS port for Jellyfin, since [Traefik](/docker-swarm/traefik/) is doing the SSL termination for us already.
