Jellyfin streams your media library and can transcode using GPU/iGPU acceleration.

1) Prepare media folders

Suggested NAS folders:

• /mnt/nas/media/movies
• /mnt/nas/media/tv
• /mnt/nas/media/music

2) Docker Compose

Create: ~/docker/compose/media/jellyfin.compose.yml

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - ~/docker/appdata/jellyfin:/config
      - /mnt/nas/media/movies:/data/movies
      - /mnt/nas/media/tv:/data/tv
      - /mnt/nas/media/music:/data/music
    ports:
      - "8096:8096"
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks: [proxy]

networks:
  proxy:
    external: true

Start:

docker compose -f ~/docker/compose/media/jellyfin.compose.yml up -d

Open:

• http://<debian-ip>:8096

3) Enable hardware acceleration

NVIDIA

If your Debian VM has an NVIDIA GPU and you installed the NVIDIA container runtime, configure Jellyfin hardware acceleration in:

• Dashboard → Playback → Transcoding

Intel VAAPI/QSV

If /dev/dri is available in the container, add:

    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

Then enable VAAPI/QSV in Jellyfin.
