Is quick start supposed to launch every time you access Jellyfin from a new browser? - Dorca - 2024-08-29

Greetings!

I'll start by saying Jellyfin is my first big personal tech project, and I've been having a blast with it. It's been awesome for doing movie nights with my friends on the other side of the country that I can't hang out with in person anymore. However, it's come to my attention that any time I share the server with a friend, it takes them directly to quick start where they can make an admin account. I already have accounts made up for the people that I share it with, and I don't want them to have admin access. I don't see anything in the settings that would alter that functionality. After they access it for the first time, it works as intended. This is also concerning to me though, because it means that anyone who could theoretically stumble across my IP could get admin access without me knowing anything about it.

If it makes a difference, I am using caddy for a reverse proxy with a duckdns subdomain.

Can you describe your setup more? What OS? What install method for Jellyfin did you use?

And can you share your jellyfin logs via pastebin.

Nevermind, I got it worked out. It seems to have something to do with having it set up so that all of the accounts have a manual login and don't show up at the login screen. Once I changed that, everything worked correctly. Sorry to waste your time with it!
