Jellarr
A self-hosted Media & Streaming app you can run on your own server.
Jellarr gives you a self-hosted media and streaming application: one you deploy yourself, on a home server, NAS or VPS. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.
The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 167 stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Aug 15, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for Server.
Before you switch
Media servers live or die by transcoding performance and library organisation. Check the hardware-acceleration support for your GPU or NAS, and test with a small library first. Most tools scan standard folder structures automatically, so tidy naming pays off quickly.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Jellarr is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
