Jellyfin Installation

From Jellyfin’s installation page for Debian: https://jellyfin.org/downloads/server

curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

After waiting for installation to finish!…

Continue with login, set admin credentials, etc

Create media library for Music, keep all default settings except for changing language and region. Add folder /mnt/media/audio (not shown in screenshot).

Troubleshooting Notes

Trouble when copying data to the mounted drive via SCP:

scp -i <ssh_key_path> -r /media/localuser/full_backup/audio/ user@192.168.100.11:/mnt/media

Enter passphrase for key '<ssh_key_path>':
scp: stat remote: No such file or directory
scp: failed to upload directory /media/exis/full_backup/audio to /mnt/media

Current owner is probably root, not user, which is why there are permission issues copying as user: Check this:

ls -ld /mnt/media
mount | grep media

Change owner to fix:

sudo chown user:user /mnt/media
sudo chmod 755 /mnt/media
