Jellyfin for StartOS

Jellyfin is a Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. It is an alternative to the proprietary Emby and Plex, to provide media from a dedicated server to end-user devices via multiple apps. This repository creates the s9pk package that is installed to run Jellyfin on StartOS. Learn more about service packaging in the Developer Docs.
