Jellyfin-Accounts

jfa-go is a user management app for Jellyfin (and now Emby) that provides invite-based account creation as well as other features that make one's instance much easier to manage.
I chose to rewrite the python jellyfin-accounts in Go mainly as a learning experience, but also to slightly improve speeds and efficiency.

Features

• 🧑 Invite based account creation: Sends invites to your friends or family, and let them choose their own username and password without relying on you.

* Send invites via a link and/or email
* Granular control over invites: Validity period as well as number of uses can be specified.
* Account profiles: Assign settings profiles to invites so new users have your predefined permissions, homescreen layout, etc. applied to their account on creation.
* Password validation: Ensure users choose a strong password.

• 🔗 Ombi Integration: Automatically creates Ombi accounts for new users using their email address and login details, and your own defined set of permissions.
• Account management: Apply settings to your users individually or en masse, and delete users, optionally sending them an email notification with a reason.
• 📨 Email storage: Add your existing users email addresses through the UI, and jfa-go will ask new users for them on account creation.

* Email addresses can optionally be used instead of usernames

• 🔑 Password resets: When user's forget their passwords and request a change in Jellyfin, jfa-go reads the PIN from the created file and sends it straight to the user via email.
• Notifications: Get notified when someone creates an account, or an invite expires.
• Authentication via Jellyfin: Instead of using separate credentials for jfa-go and Jellyfin, jfa-go can use it as the authentication provider.

* Enables the usage of jfa-go by multiple people

• 🌓 Customizable look

* Specify contact and help messages to appear in emails and pages
* Light and dark themes available

Install

Available on the AUR as jfa-go or jfa-go-git.
For other platforms, grab an archive from the release section for your platform (or nightly builds here), and extract jfa-go and data to the same directory.

• For linux users, you can place them inside /opt/jfa-go and then run

sudo ln -s /opt/jfa-go/jfa-go /usr/bin/jfa-go to place it in your PATH.
Run the executable to start.
For docker, run:

docker create \
             --name "jfa-go" \ # Whatever you want to name it
             -p 8056:8056 \
            # -p 8057:8057 if using tls
             -v /path/to/.config/jfa-go:/data \ # Path to wherever you want to store the config file and other data
             -v /path/to/jellyfin:/jf \ # Path to jellyfin config directory
             -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \ # Makes sure time is correct
             hrfee/jfa-go # hrfee/jfa-go:unstable for latest build from git

Build from source

If you're using docker, a Dockerfile is provided that builds from source.
Otherwise, full build instructions can be found here.

Usage

Simply run jfa-go to start the application. A setup wizard will start on localhost:8056 (or your own specified address). Upon completion, refresh the page.
Note: jfa-go does not run as a daemon by default. You'll need to figure this out yourself.

Usage of ./jfa-go:
  -config string
    	alternate path to config file. (default "~/.config/jfa-go/config.ini")
  -data string
    	alternate path to data directory. (default "~/.config/jfa-go")
  -debug
    	Enables debug logging and exposes pprof.
  -host string
    	alternate address to host web ui on.
  -port int
    	alternate port to host web ui on.
  -swagger
    	Enable swagger at /swagger/index.html

If you're switching from jellyfin-accounts, copy your existing ~/.jf-accounts to:

• XDG_CONFIG_DIR/jfa-go (usually ~/.config/jfa-go) on \*nix systems,
• %AppData%/jfa-go on Windows,
• ~/Library/Application Support/jfa-go on macOS.

(or specify config/data path with -config/-data respectively.)
