You can do a system service install of Jellyfin instead of the basic install. But that requires extra configuration so that the system user has access to your GPU for transcoding. I can't find documentation for how to do that.

I try it but never work, I was thinking using a docker, but in the end, I must login too. Or not?

I had a lot of issue with getting Jellyfin to register as a service.

My solution was to ensure Windows is configured to log in to the user on start-up (there's plenty of guides on google for that), and then to start Jellyfin with a batch script that I create a shortcut of and place in the startup folder. Yes I get the ugly cmd window, but at least it works.
