SOLVED: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver.

[Samantha Adamovic]

did i do it wrong?

What happens if you just install "jellyfin"?

Code:

sudo apt install jellyfin

If that STILL fails, what is the output of this command?

Code:

apt search jellyfin

[Samantha Adamovic]

this doesnt look right to me but idk

[TheDreadPirate]

That looks right.

Code:

sudo systemctl status jellyfin

[Samantha Adamovic]

still not working

[TheDreadPirate]

It is working. "jellyfin permission" is not a thing you need to do nor is it a valid command. The status command is showing that Jellyfin is running.

If you haven't done so already, you need to open port 8096.

Code:

sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 8096

Then you should able to access Jellyfin from any host on your home network.

[Samantha Adamovic]

stupid question, but when i put in my ip the the :8096 it should just give a new start up screen like the one where you create all stuff for it right? because it didnt

[TheDreadPirate]

http://<insertYourIP>:8096 doesn't work? Does Zorin OS not use UFW for its firewall?

[Samantha Adamovic]

No it does ufw and nope it just take me to the page that’s for once you’ve already set it up
