    Install Jellyfin on Termux [In Proot]

This guide shows two methods of installing Jellyfin on termux
Note: only tested on aarch64/arm64
Note: I am not updating it anymore as you can install Jellyfin directly in termux now, just install jellyfin-server package in termux, tho you might have issues the jellyfin's ffmpeg if so then use jellyfin --ffmpeg $(which ffmpeg) to run jellyfin instead
These steps are same for both methods:

Update the repo

pkg update


Install proot-distro and ffmpeg (ffmpeg is only required in Method 2)

pkg install proot-distro ffmpeg -y


Install ubuntu and Login to it

proot-distro install ubuntu
proot-distro login ubuntu


Update and upgrade the packages in ubuntu

apt update && apt upgrade -y


.NET 7.0 workaround:


Use nano (or editor of your choice) to make a file in /etc/profile.d

nano /etc/profile.d/02-dotnet-fix.sh


Paste the following to set the value of DOTNET_GCHeapHardLimit to 1C0000000 (You might need to lower the value to get it to work):

export DOTNET_GCHeapHardLimit=1C0000000


Save and exit nano by pressing CTRL + x then y then enter
Make it executable

chmod +x /etc/profile.d/02-dotnet-fix.sh


Logout and log back into proot

Method 1:

Install sudo curl and gnupg

apt install sudo curl gnupg -y


Follow the step 2 to 6 in the official ubuntu installation guide for Jellyfin here


Create a symbolic link for Jellyfin web client (as it's in the wrong folder)


ln -s /usr/share/jellyfin/web /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web


Run Jellyfin

jellyfin


Note: if you get network related errors add --nonetchange parameter to jellyfin


Give it a few minutes to finish startup then goto http://localhost:8096 to setup Jellyfin

Method 2:

Install necessary packages (skip wget if you have it installed in termux, also replace 74 with the latest version of libicu)

apt install wget libicu74 libfontconfig1 ca-certificates -y


Make a new folder in /opt by the name jellyfin and cd into it

mkdir /opt/jellyfin
cd /opt/jellyfin


Download the latest generic linux build for your architecture from here with wget (make sure you download the correct architecture for you device)

wget https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/server/linux/latest-stable/arm64/jellyfin_10.10.6-arm64.tar.gz


Extract it with tar

tar xvzf jellyfin_10.10.6-arm64.tar.gz


Create four sub-directories for Jellyfin data

mkdir data cache config log


Use nano to make a script to run Jellyfin

nano jellyfin.sh


Paste the following:

#!/bin/bash
JELLYFINDIR="/opt/jellyfin"

$JELLYFINDIR/jellyfin/jellyfin \
 -d $JELLYFINDIR/data \
 -C $JELLYFINDIR/cache \
 -c $JELLYFINDIR/config \
 -l $JELLYFINDIR/log \
 --ffmpeg /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/ffmpeg


Note: if you get network related errors add --nonetchange parameter to jellyfin in the jellyfin.sh
Save and exit nano by pressing CTRL + x then y then enter


Make it executable

chmod +x jellyfin.sh


Run it

/opt/jellyfin/jellyfin.sh


Give it a few minutes to finish startup then goto http://localhost:8096 to setup Jellyfin

Thanks to @vikoadi and @t-e-s-tweb for DOTNET_GCHeapHardLimit=1C0000000 and --nonetchange fix
