About

What Jellyfin does

Install Flow

How to self-host Jellyfin

Jellyfin can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Jellyfin does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Jellyfin Docker, Jellyfin Docker Compose, or self-host Jellyfin, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

Stream your music library with album artwork and artist information to phones, computers, or smart speakers.
