Hey Hosters!

Just wanted to share that I got Jellyfin installed and set up on my Windows 2022 Server, and it’s working great! I didn’t even know there was a version for WIndows. How do you like that?

I know this is probably “the usual” for everyone here, but I’m genuinely excited that I managed to get it all running smoothly.

After getting the server up, I went through the basics (users/permissions, library paths, and making sure everything was reachable on the network) and it all just worked. The interface is super clean, playback is nice and responsive, and it feels like I’ve been missing out on this until now.

Huge thanks to the Jellyfin team and the community! This project is awesome!! If anyone is stuck, please don’t give up. keep poking at the configuration and it’ll pay off. Now I just need to spend some time organizing my libraries!

Happy Hosting!

    I’m always going to say Windows is too heavy to be placed in a server environment, simply wasn’t designed for it, but congrats nonetheless.

      It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.

    Heh! Don’t let anyone dampen your enthusiasm. It feels great when I am toiling away at something and finally all the pieces click together. I might have to walk away a few times and put the project on hold, but I keep whacking away at it. When it does work, it’s always a childish joy that comes over me and always gets a fist-pump.

    What equipment are you running that Windows Server on?
