# Jellyfin with Tailscale Integration
![Jellyfin with Tailscale](https://jellyfin.org/images/logo.svg "Jellyfin")
This project sets up a Jellyfin instance with Tailscale VPN integration using Docker Compose. It creates a secure, private network connection for your Jellyfin instance using Tailscale.
## Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
- A Tailscale account and auth key (get one from https://login.tailscale.com/admin/authkeys)
- Basic understanding of Docker and networking concepts
## Project Structure
```
ts-jellyfin/
├── docker-compose.yml
├── tailscale/
│ ├── tailscale-data/ # Persistent Tailscale state
│ └── config/ # Tailscale configuration files
└── jellyfin/
└── config/ # Jellyfin configuration files
└── cache/ # Jellyfin cache files
└── media/ # Jellyfin media files
```
## Setup Instructions
1. **Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://gitea.damconsulting.llc/DAM/ts-jellyfin/
cd ts-jellyfin
```
2. Create Required Directories
```bash
mkdir -p tailscale/tailscale-data jellyfin/config jellyfin/cache jellyfin/media
```
3. Configure Tailscale
- Replace `{{YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY}}` in the docker-compose.yml with your actual Tailscale auth key
- Optionally, update the file in `tailscale/config/serve.json` if you need specific Tailscale serve configurations
- CAUTION: Changing `"${TS_CERT_DOMAIN}:443": false` to `true` will expose the service to the internet
4. Start the Services
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
5. Wait for Certificate to propagate [~2m]
6. Login with and create admin account
## Services
### jellyfin-ts (Tailscale)
- Runs Tailscale VPN client
- Image: tailscale/tailscale:latest
- Container name: jellyfin-ts
- Hostname: jellyfin
- Requires NET_ADMIN and SYS_MODULE capabilities
- Persists state in ./tailscale/tailscale-data
- Uses configuration from ./tailscale/config
### jellyfin
- Depends on jellyfin-ts service
## Usage
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at `https://jellyfin.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net` ie `https://jellyfin.tail12345.ts.net/`
- To manually get the Tailscale IP/hostname of your container:
```bash
docker logs jellyfin-ts
```
Look for the Tailscale IP address in the logs.
## Optional Features
- Uncomment the Docker socket volume mapping in the service to enable Docker integrations:
```yaml
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```
- Uncomment and adjust the ports mapping if you need direct access (without Tailscale):
```yaml
ports:
- 8096:8096
```
- Stopping the Services
```bash
docker compose down
```
## Troubleshooting
- Check container logs:
```bash
docker logs jellyfin-ts
docker logs jellyfin
```
- Ensure your Tailscale auth key is valid and not expired
- Verify the configuration files have proper permissions
- Make sure required directories exist before starting
## Notes
- The Jellyfin service uses the Tailscale service's network stack via network_mode: service:Jellyfin-ts
- Direct port mapping is disabled by default as Tailscale handles the networking
- Services restart automatically unless explicitly stopped
