# Setup ## 1. Writing configurations First write your configuration files whereever you want. The AUR package uses `/etc/jellything.yaml`. ```yaml # This hostname must be identical to how other instances reach you. hostname: example.org brand: "Jellything" slogan: "" admin_username: admin # All of these paths can be customized. See "Paths" media_path: "/srv/media" asset_path: "/var/lib/jellything/assets" database_path: "/var/lib/jellything/db" library_path: "/var/lib/jellything/library" temp_path: "/tmp/jellything" cache_path: "/var/cache/jellything" secrets_path: "/etc/jellysecrets.yaml" # points to the file below ``` ```yaml # jellysecrets.yaml; filled with placeholders admin_password: "xxxxxx" # Both these keys should be initialized randomly. # Use `head -c 32 /dev/random | base64` cookie_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=" session_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=" # Credentials for remote instances. Keep this empty if you are just starting. federation: "example.org": { username: "examplefed", password: "xxxxxxx" } api: fanart_tv: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tmdb: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx omdb: xxxxxxxx # This is the Trakt Application `client_id` trakt: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tvdb: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ``` ## 2. Creating required directories Next create directories in place of `cache_path`, `temp_path`, `media_path`, `library_path` if jellything is not permitted to do so itself. Also obtain the default assets from git. ```sh mkdir -p $cache_path $temp_path $media_path $library_path git clone https://codeberg.org/metamuffin/jellything-assets.git $asset_path ``` ## 3. Preparing your first import In _library\_path_, create files like below. This file provides an entry point to your library. Its exact meaning is described in [The Import Guide](../import/README.md). ```yaml # root.yaml id: library sources: - !override public: kind: !collection title: "My Library" children: - movies ``` ```yaml # movies/directory.yaml id: movies sources: - !override public: kind: !collection title: "Movies" - !auto_children ``` Next place your favorite movies in _media\_path_ and use the import helper to quickly generate import instructions for it. This requires at least Trakt and TMDB keys to work. ```sh # This should be run from media_path since the path in -m is relative to that no matter PWD. # Jellytool will show an interactive wizard to select the correct metadata. jellytool add -m big-buck-bunny.mkv jellytool add -m agent-327-operation-barbershop.mkv jellytool add -m spring.mkv ```
