Installation

Jellyseerr is a free and open-source request management and media discovery tool for Jellyfin. It allows users to search for and request media directly from your Jellyfin library or through external indexers.

Prerequisites

Docker and Docker Compose installed
A running Jellyfin instance (optional but recommended)
Optional: Sonarr, Radarr, and download clients for full automation

1. Create Project Directory

mkdir jellyseerr
cd jellyseerr

2. Create `docker-compose.yml`

version: "3"
services:
  jellyseerr:
    image: fallenbagel/jellyseerr:latest
    container_name: jellyseerr
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "5055:5055"
    environment:
      - LOG_LEVEL=info
    volumes:
      - ./config:/app/config

3. Start Jellyseerr

docker compose up -d

4. Access Web UI

Open your browser and go to:

http://<your-server-ip>:5055

You'll be guided through the setup process:

Create admin account
Connect Jellyfin server
(Optional) Connect Sonarr, Radarr, etc.

5. Update Instructions

To update Jellyseerr:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

6. Optional: Enable Reverse Proxy

To expose Jellyseerr via a domain name (e.g. requests.example.com), set up a reverse proxy using Traefik, Nginx, or Caddy. A basic Traefik label example:

    labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.jellyseerr.rule=Host(`requests.example.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.jellyseerr.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.jellyseerr.tls.certresolver=myresolver"
