Overview

What is Jellyfin?

Jellyfin is a free and open-source media solution, developed by a community of volunteers, giving you full control over your content. Installed on your own server, it allows you to gather, organize, and stream your movies, series, music, books, and photos across all your devices — web browser, computer, mobile, and streaming boxes.

The platform automatically organizes your library: series are sorted by season, movies are enriched with cover art and metadata, and music is grouped by artists and playlists. It also supports live TV and recording (DVR), as well as SyncPlay for synchronized remote viewing of the same content.

Licensed under GNU GPL, Jellyfin stands out for its commitment to privacy: no tracking, no data reporting to a central server. Your media, your server, your rules — a fully open-source alternative to proprietary services.

Host Jellyfin at DINAO

No managed container for Jellyfin: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 512 Mo / 5 Go minimum).

Jellyfin needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Option 2 The simplest

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Jellyfin 6 questions

Is Jellyfin really free and ad-free?

Yes. Jellyfin is free software, with no subscription or ads, unlike Plex or commercial platforms. You only pay for DINAO VPS hosting in France, where you install and maintain the application yourself.

Can I play my 4K collection on an old TV?

Yes. Hardware GPU transcoding converts the stream on the fly into a format compatible with your device, even an older one, without stuttering.

Where is the data hosted?

On the DINAO infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your media and history never leave the country.

Do I need technical skills?

No. The VPS is not managed by default. You install and maintain Jellyfin yourself on your VPS. An optional paid management service can be added to your order.

Can I change plans or retrieve my files?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and your files remain exportable — no proprietary lock-in.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.

In which data centre is my service hosted?

In France, in DINAO's private racks within two third-party data centres: Free Pro in Marseille (MAR02) and Euclyde DC1 in Sophia-Antipolis. The operator provides the building, power, cooling and physical security; DINAO operates everything inside its racks, entirely and independently.
