Introduce the ability to select the media server type on the setup page. Users can now choose their preferred media server (e.g., Plex through the Plex sign-in or Emby/Jellyfin sign-in to select either Emby or Jellyfin). The selected media server type is then reflected in the application settings. This enhancement provides users with increased flexibility and customization options during the initial setup process, eliminating the need to rely on environment variables (which cannot be set if using platforms like snaps). Existing Emby users, who use the environment variable, should log out and log back in after updating to set their mediaServerType to Emby. BREAKING CHANGE: This commit deprecates the JELLYFIN_TYPE variable to identify Emby media server and instead rely on the mediaServerType that is set in the `settings.json`. Existing environment variable users can log out and log back in to set the mediaServerType to `3` (Emby).
Jellyseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library. It is a a fork of Overseerr built to bring support for Jellyfin & Emby media servers!
The original Overseerr team have been busy and Jellyfin/Emby support aren't on their roadmap, so we started this project as we wanted to bring the Overseerr experience to the Jellyfin/Emby Community!

Getting Started
Pre-requisite (Important)
On Jellyfin/Emby, ensure the settings > Home > Automatically group content from the following folders into views such as 'Movies', 'Music' and 'TV' is turned off
Launching Jellyseerr using Docker (Recommended)
Check out our dockerhub for instructions on how to install and run Jellyseerr: https://hub.docker.com/r/fallenbagel/jellyseerr
Building from source (ADVANCED):
Windows
Pre-requisites:
- Nodejs v18
- Yarn
- Download/git clone the source code from the github (Either develop branch or main for stable)
npm i -g win-node-env
set CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=0
yarn install --frozen-lockfile --network-timeout 1000000
yarn run build
yarn start
(you can use task scheduler to run a bat script with @echo off and yarn start to run jellyseerr in the background)
to set env variables such as JELLYFIN_TYPE=emby create a file called .env in the root directory of jellyseerr
Linux
Pre-requisites:
- Nodejs v18
- Yarn (on debian based distros, the package manager provided
yarnis different and is a package called cmdlet. You can remove that usingapt-remove cmdletthen install yarn usingnpm install -g yarn) - Git
Steps:
- Assuming you want the root folder for the jellyseerr source code to be cloned to
/opt
cd /opt
- Then clone the follow commands to clone and checkout to the stable version
git clone https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr.git && cd jellyseerr
git checkout main
- Then install the dependencies and build the dist
CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=0 yarn install --frozen-lockfile --network-timeout 1000000
yarn run build
-
Now you can start jellyseerr using
yarn startand opening http://localhost:5055 in your browser. -
If you want to run jellyseerr as a Systemd-service:
- assuming jellyseerr was cloned to
/opt/ - first create the environmentfile at
/etc/jellyseerr/jellyseerr.conf
Environmentfile:
# Jellyseerr's default port is 5055, if you want to use both, change this.
# specify on which port to listen
PORT=5055
# specify on which interface to listen, by default jellyseerr listens on all interfaces
#HOST=127.0.0.1
# Uncomment if your media server is emby instead of jellyfin.
# JELLYFIN_TYPE=emby
- Then run the command
which nodeto find your node path (assuming it's at/usr/bin/node) - Then create the service file using
sudo systemctl edit jellyseerr.serviceor creating and editing a file at/etc/systemd/system/jellyseerr.service
Service file contents:
