Hey Hosters!
Just wanted to share that I got Jellyfin installed and set up on my Windows 2022 Server, and it’s working great! I didn’t even know there was a version for WIndows. How do you like that?
I know this is probably “the usual” for everyone here, but I’m genuinely excited that I managed to get it all running smoothly.
After getting the server up, I went through the basics (users/permissions, library paths, and making sure everything was reachable on the network) and it all just worked. The interface is super clean, playback is nice and responsive, and it feels like I’ve been missing out on this until now.
Huge thanks to the Jellyfin team and the community! This project is awesome!! If anyone is stuck, please don’t give up. keep poking at the configuration and it’ll pay off. Now I just need to spend some time organizing my libraries!
Happy Hosting!
JellyFin has a native windows version.
Yes, but not everything does. But luckily, Docker exists on Windows. So anything that runs on Docker can be run on Windows.
Given, Docker’s implementation on Windows is… Uhh… Not GreatTM. Because it’s basically using WSL to trick Windows into supporting a Linux file system. So it has some quirks. But it does technically work.
No sane person runs docker on windows. They will run wsl or a Linux Hyper-V vm to do docker.
