ansible-jellyfin

Ansible role to install and configure Jellyfin on Debian-like systems.

The default deployment without any variables changed is not a vanilla deployment as several quality of life improvements are made.

Features:

• fully configurable config files (ansible management of settings normally tweaked in webUI)
• fail2ban support
• logrotate support
• deployment of webserver(reverse-proxy) (currently only nginx)
• configuration of ssl with webserver
