Steps to Use a Helm Chart

1. Add a Helm Repository

Helm repositories contain collections of charts. You can add an existing repository using the following command:

helm repo add jellyfin https://jellyfin.github.io/jellyfin-helm

2. Install the Helm Chart

To install a chart, use the following command:

helm install my-jellyfin jellyfin/jellyfin

3. View the Installation

You can check the status of the release using:

helm status my-jellyfin

Customizing the Chart

Helm charts come with default values, but you can customize them by using the --set flag or by providing a custom values.yaml file.

1. Using --set to Override Values

helm install my-jellyfin jellyfin/jellyfin --set key1=value1,key2=value2

2. Using a values.yaml File

You can create a custom values.yaml file and pass it to the install command:

helm install my-jellyfin jellyfin/jellyfin -f values.yaml

Values

Key	Type	Default	Description
affinity	object	{}
enableDLNA	bool	false	Setting this to true enables DLNA which requires the pod to be attached to the host network in order to be useful - this can break things like ingress to the service https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/dlna.html
extraContainers	list	[]	additional sidecar containers to run inside the pod.
extraEnvVars	list	[]	aditional environment variables passed to the pod
extraInitContainers	list	[]	additional init containers to run inside the pod.
extraPodAnnotations	object	{}	additional annotations applied to the pod
extraPodLabels	object	{}	additional pod labels. Not used as a selector label.
extraVolumeMounts	list	[]	Define mount points for additional volumes.
extraVolumes	list	[]	Define additional volumes to mount to the pod.
fullnameOverride	string	""
image.pullPolicy	string	"IfNotPresent"
image.repository	string	"docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin"	Set cutom repository for jellyfin image
image.tag	string	""	Set jellyfin version which should be required since chart is updated with new versions automatically
imagePullSecrets	list	[]
ingress.annotations	object	{}
ingress.enabled	bool	false
ingress.hosts[0]	string	"chart-example.local"
ingress.labels	object	{}
ingress.path	string	"/"
ingress.tls	list	[]
livenessProbe	object	{"enabled":true,"initialDelaySeconds":10}	Larger libraries may need to increase the readinessProbe and livenessProbe timeouts. Start by increasing the initialDelaySeconds.
nameOverride	string	""
nodeSelector	object	{}
persistence.config.accessMode	string	"ReadWriteOnce"
persistence.config.annotations	object	{}	Custom annotations to be added to the PVC
persistence.config.enabled	bool	false
persistence.config.labels	object	{}	Custom labels to be added to the PVC
persistence.config.size	string	"1Gi"
persistence.config.storageClass	string	"-"	If undefined (the default) or set to null, no storageClassName spec is set, choosing the default provisioner.
persistence.extraExistingClaimMounts	list	[]	Add aditional PVs/PVCs to our container. Check values.yaml to see an example.
persistence.media.accessMode	string	"ReadWriteOnce"
persistence.media.annotations	object	{}	Custom annotations to be added to the PVC
persistence.media.enabled	bool	false
persistence.media.labels	object	{}	Custom labels to be added to the PVC
persistence.media.size	string	"10Gi"
persistence.media.storageClass	string	"-"	If undefined (the default) or set to null, no storageClassName spec is set, choosing the default provisioner.
podSecurityContext	object	{}	SecurityContext configuration for the Jellyfin pod
readinessProbe	object	{"enabled":true,"initialDelaySeconds":10}	Larger libraries may need to increase the readinessProbe and livenessProbe timeouts. Start by increasing the initialDelaySeconds.
replicaCount	int	1	Number of jellyfin replicas to start. Should be left at 1
resources	object	{}
runtimeClassName	string	nil
securityContext	object	{}	SecurityContext configuration for the Jellyfin container
service.annotations	object	{}

Hardware acceleration

Out of the box the pod does not have the necessary permissions to enable hardware acceleration (HWA) in Jellyfin. Adding the following Helm values should make it enable you to use hardware acceleration features. Some settings may need to be tweaked depending on the type of device (Intel/AMD/NVIDIA/...) and your container runtime.

Please refer to the Jellyfin upstream documentation for more information about hardware acceleration: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/
