Jellyfin Vue
---
---
This is an alternative client for Jellyfin based on Vue.js. It might not be feature complete and it's constantly evolving.
# Usage instructions for end users ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ
## [Hosted instance ๐](https://jf-vue.pages.dev/)
Our hosted instance points to a version built from the current `master` branch. Hosted by Cloudflare Pages.
โ ๏ธ **This only works for Jellyfin servers that [are behind a reverse proxy and has HTTPS correctly set up](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/#running-jellyfin-behind-a-reverse-proxy)**. If your server runs over HTTP, you must use another deployment type.
## Docker Container ๐ฆ
You can run the Docker container with the following command, replacing 8080 with the port of your choice:
```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue
```
You can check [GitHub Packages (GHCR)](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue/pkgs/container/jellyfin-vue) (recommended) or [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue) for all the tagged images.
## Other means ๐ฝ
There are more ways to host Jellyfin Vue yourself.
Check [our wiki page](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue/wiki/Deployment-methods) for the most up to date information.
## Privacy disclaimer ๐ต๐ป
Jellyfin Vue is just a GUI *(Graphical User Interface)* for a Jellyfin server. It only establishes connection to the Jellyfin server that you point it to, **nothing else**.

- **Local instances** _Examples: Our Windows/Mac/Linux application, a local web server, etc_: All the necessary assets for the frontend to work
are available locally (in your device) or bundled into the underlying environment (Tauri, Electron, etc) where it is running.
No assets need to be fetched remotely.
- **Remote instances** _Examples: Our hosted instance, an admin hosting Jellyfin Vue and sharing the URL
(which is in a different domain from the Jellyfin Server), etc_: This probably comprises most cases.
Here, all the frontend assets are not locally available, but somewhere else. When you access the remotely hosted frontend
(normally using a web browser like Firefox or Microsoft Edge),
all the frontend assets are loaded/cached into your device. Once the load has finished,
**the connection will exclusively be between your device and the Jellyfin server(s)** ยนยฒ. Whoever is serving the frontend
is never in the middle. ยณ
ยน _Assuming that the hosted version has not been altered (by adding trackers, beacons...) in any way from the sources provided in this repository
and you trust the person/people behind it to not have done so_.
ยฒ _Some features that need access to remote resources that are not controlled by you and/or the person hosting Jellyfin Vue might be added in the future
(such as Google Cast support for Chromecasts). These will be always **opt in** and toggleable through [our configuration](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue/wiki/Configuration)_
ยณ _We assume standard networks here, no special configurations or policies that your ISP/Workplace/University/etc might apply._
[Jellyfin Web](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web) (our main frontend) works in a similar way:
It connects by default to the Jellyfin server that is running alongside,
but it's also capable to connect to other Jellyfin servers [like can be tested in our demo](https://demo.jellyfin.org/) and [the hosted instance](https://jellyfin-web.pages.dev/).
By inspecting the network requests, you will find that only connections to fetch its own assets are made to the server distributing the client, but connections to your own Jellyfin server will not go through it.
The same principel applies to Jellyfin Vue. Note that Jellyfin Web can also be hosted standalone, just like Jellyfin Vue.
