What’s the difference between the linuxserver and the official Jellyfin Docker image?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/jellyfin

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Jellyfin

    The Free Software Media System

  • Our official Docker images are a direct binary build of Jellyfin (the server component and the web component are built separately), built in the same container environment. The Main Dockerfile then pulls in both the component dockerfiles, puts their files into the right places, and on startup executes the binary.

  • jellyfin-web

    Web Client for Jellyfin

  • Our official Docker images are a direct binary build of Jellyfin (the server component and the web component are built separately), built in the same container environment. The Main Dockerfile then pulls in both the component dockerfiles, puts their files into the right places, and on startup executes the binary.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • jellyfin-metapackages

    Discontinued Metapackages for Debian and Docker

  • Our official Docker images are a direct binary build of Jellyfin (the server component and the web component are built separately), built in the same container environment. The Main Dockerfile then pulls in both the component dockerfiles, puts their files into the right places, and on startup executes the binary.

  • docker-jellyfin

  • The Linuxserver.io image is, first of all, a 3rd party unofficial image, but with our blessing. They take a base Ubuntu OS image and install our official Ubuntu packages in the Docker environment. On startup it also executes the same binary in the end, so functionally, to anyone who doesn't know any different, they're the same: you get Jellyfin out in the end.
