Overview

What is jfa-go?

jfa-go (Jellyfin Accounts) is a user management application for Jellyfin (and Emby as a secondary option) that makes server media administration much simpler. Its key feature is self-service invitations: you send a link to your friends, who choose their own username and password, without you having to create each account manually.

Each invitation is finely configurable — validity duration, number of uses — and can be distributed via email, Discord, Telegram, or Matrix. Thanks to permission profiles, new accounts automatically inherit predefined settings: rights, home screen, accessible libraries.

jfa-go also manages users in bulk, validates password strength, and facilitates reset by directly relaying the code to the user. Lightweight and written in Go, it installs in minutes. At DINAO, you install and maintain it on a VPS Docker in France, where your users' data remains sovereign.

Host jfa-go at DINAO

No managed container for jfa-go: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (0.5 vCPU / 128 Mo / 1 Go minimum).

jfa-go 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).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About jfa-go 6 questions

What exactly is jfa-go for?

jfa-go simplifies Jellyfin (and Emby as a secondary option) server administration: self-service invitations, permission profiles, bulk account management, password validation and reset. It saves you from creating each account manually.

How do invitations work?

You generate an invitation link, with a defined validity duration and number of uses, then share it (email, Discord, Telegram, Matrix). The invitee chooses their own username and password, without your intervention.

Can I enforce default permissions?

Yes, via profiles: you define a template for permissions, home screen, and libraries, which is automatically applied to each new account created by invitation.

Do I need to already have a Jellyfin server?

Yes, jfa-go controls an existing Jellyfin (or Emby) server. DINAO provides a VPS Docker in France for you to install and maintain the setup yourself.

Where are user data hosted?

On DINAO infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your users' information never leaves the territory.

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.
