Installation

You can either use the included docker files, or manually run it.

Docker

An API_URL environment variable is required with the value being the address to your Jellyfin server, including trailing slash (http://localhost:5000/, for example). An example docker-compose file:

version: '3.9'

services:
  jellix:
    container_name: jellix
    build: ./jellix
    restart: unless-stopped 
    environment:
      - API_URL=http://localhost:5000/
    ports:
      - 3000:3000

This will run Jellix on port 3000, which you can either access directly or preferably use in nginx.

Manual

This project is composed entirely of static files. All that it requires is a web server. First, edit code/params.js to your Jellyfin server, including trailing slash (http://localhost:5000/, for example). After that you can either deliver this project as a static directory via nginx or some other web server, or you can spin one your own with python by running python -m http.server 3000 in the code directory, which you can then access via http://localhost:3000/
