Set Up Jellyfin as a Music Server

Create a docker-compose.yml:

services:
    jellyfin:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        environment:
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
            - TZ=Europe/Berlin
            # - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=https://jellyfin.a-labs.space
        volumes:
            - ./jellyfin:/config
            - /path/to/music:/data/music
            # - /path/to/tv-shows:/data/tvshows  # optional
            # - /path/to/movies:/data/movies     # optional
        ports:
            - 8096:8096
        restart: unless-stopped

Run docker compose up -d, then finish setup through the web UI (http://your-ip:8096) and add your music folder as a library.

Organize Your Music Library

Keep a consistent folder structure so Jellyfin can scan metadata correctly:

Music/
└── [Artist]/
    └── [Album]/
        ├── 01 - Track Name.flac
        └── 02 - Track Name.flac

Download Sources

Mobile App

To download music on mobile:

• SpotiFLAC — download the APK from the Releases page, then install extensions by downloading them and adding them through the app’s settings.

Music Players

• Jellyfin’s built-in web player — works out of the box, no extra app needed
• Kopuz — third-party client
• Feishin — desktop client with a more traditional music-app feel

Further Resources

• FMHY Audio Ripping List
• Jellyfin docker
• Create dynamic playlists and collections in Jellyfin based on a set of rules, which will automatically update as your library changes
