Integration of Jellyfin with Nextcloud (nextcloud.com)

As most know, Jellyfin is great for consuming media stored on any drive. I integrated my Jellyfin library with Nextcloud to:

  • Enable friends in different locations to upload and manage files.
  • Share specific media with people who don't have accounts
  • Sync media between devices
  1. Install Nextcloud and setup an external drive.
  2. Assign the Jellyfin account to the Nextcloud user group: usermod -aG nextcloud jellyfin
  3. Add the libraries in Jellyfin

I gave my friends access to create but not delete media on the drive for safety. We sync what we want to different devices to play on better apps for the media type such as Librera Reader for books and Voice for audiobooks.

Not to knock Nextcloud (I run it myself) but have you seen Copyparty? I don’t wanna bore you but my jaw is still dropped on how good it is for media management. It’s kinda ugly but in a retro way so I actually love it

Hey, that’s not dumb!

I do this, but the other direction. My friends/family have access to a guest Nextcloud account which is read-only. That lets them download everything from me.
