Jellyfin
Free, open-source media server — stream your own movies, TV, and music to any device, no subscription or tracking.
This guide is synthesized from Jellyfin's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.
1Run the official install script
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bashThis is Jellyfin's own documented one-line installer for Debian/Ubuntu, adding their repo and installing the server + web client together.
2Open the setup wizard
http://your-server-ip:8096 — point it at your media folders and create the admin account.
