## Jellyfin by cloudimg
Jellyfin is the popular open source, self-hosted media server - stream your own movies, TV shows, music and photos to any device through a polished web app and native client apps. A free, privacy-respecting alternative to hosted media services. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Jellyfin fully installed and configured, so a private media server is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Jellyfin 10.11.
## Application Stack
The Jellyfin server runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. The datastore is an embedded SQLite database; hardware-agnostic transcoding is provided by the bundled jellyfin-ffmpeg.
## Secure First Boot
Jellyfin ships with no account until its setup wizard is completed. On the first boot of every instance a one shot service completes the wizard and creates a single administrator account with a per-instance password written to a root only file, and generates a fresh per-instance server identity. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
Sign in as the administrator, add a media library pointing at your content under /srv/media, and start streaming. Point the official Jellyfin apps (web, mobile, TV) at your server.
