Readme

emby

Emby — a personal media server that organizes and streams your movies, TV, music and photos to apps on every device, with live TV/DVR, user profiles and parental controls. A polished alternative/cousin to Jellyfin and Plex.

Single host-networked Nomad service with config and media volumes.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run emby --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`8096`	Web UI port.
`image`	`lscr.io/linuxserver/emby:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`data_volume`	`emby_data`	`/config` — Emby database and settings.
`media_volume`	`emby_media`	`/data` — your media library.
`puid` / `pgid`	`1000` / `1000`	User/group that owns the files (`PUID`/`PGID`).
`tz`	`UTC`	Container timezone (`TZ`).
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources. Bump for transcoding.

Complete the setup wizard on first launch and point Emby at your library under /data. For hardware transcoding, pass through the GPU/render device and use the appropriate image tag. Pin the job to the node holding the volumes with constraints. See also jellyfin (FOSS) and plex.
