Jellyfin + NGINX

Jellyfin + NGINX

Reference configuration files for using Jellyfin with NGINX.

https://docs.icedterminal.com/en/linux/jellyfin

  • Last updated: 2nd January, 2024
  • Supports NGINX mainline releases with OpenSSL 3+. The minimum required verison is 1.25.1.

Notes

The config files are used with my own custom build of NGINX. Things you will not have access to with a vanilla build (mainline) are commented out. This being Brotli and HTTP3. I have left these in if you want to use a custom build.
