Jellyfin Docker Compose Reference

Jellyfin Docker Compose Reference#

Canonical copy of /docker/jellyfin/compose.yaml on the servarr VM (192.168.1.112).

Jellyfin and Jellyseerr run in a separate compose file from the main Servarr stack, on their own Docker network (jellyfin_default, 172.18.0.0/16).

compose.yaml#

  jellyfin:

# Remove the Jellyfin service if installed directly on system.

  jellyseerr:

    image: fallenbagel/jellyseerr:latest
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000

Key Details#

Network: Uses the auto-created jellyfin_default bridge network (172.18.0.0/16). Jellyseerr reaches the *arr services via the host IP (192.168.1.112) and their exposed ports.
GPU Passthrough: /dev/dri:/dev/dri enables Intel QuickSync hardware-accelerated transcoding.
PUID/PGID: Hardcoded to 1000 (unlike the servarr stack which uses .env variables).
TZ: America/Los_Angeles (note: servarr stack uses America/New_York).
Healthcheck: Already configured with deunhealth label — auto-restarts on unhealthy.
Custom web config: ./jellyfin-web/config.json is bind-mounted into the container for UI customization (e.g., the Hinterflix help link).
