hi guys and welcome back to another ibra corp video as usual pleasure to have you guys back
here thank you for checking out the channel today if you like what we're doing please think
about subscribing and hitting the like button it really helps the channel out and we would really
appreciate it like i promised you guys last week this week we're going to be looking at jelly seer
angelica is a media request application and as they describe it it's for managing requests for
your media library this works similar to petio and overseer of course where it's forked from
and also sports features that you would find in something like ombi so those who are fans of ombi
like myself you might find some of the features we tell you about today pretty interesting
we also have some insider information from the developers who worked with us to create
today's guide by answering some questions from us in order to create it for you guys and they
have some really cool features that you don't know about just yet that we're going to reveal to you
later on in this video all i can tell you at this point is that if you're running plex you
might want to keep watching so guys if you're looking for a media request application one that
is derived from the aesthetic of overseer and you're into that kind of style then jellysia is
going to be the one for you we hope you enjoy without further ado let's get stuck into it
alright guys so getting straight into it this week we're looking at jelly cr like i said
i'm here on the github jelly seer is a free and open source software application for managing
requests for the media library it is a fork of overseer and it's built to bring support
for jellyfin and mb media servers now on their current features they list jellyfin support and
mb support but we have some extra information from them hot off the press you know we spoke
with them yesterday and there's a little bit of a change there that we'll talk about
in a moment underneath that it's along with other existing overseer features that you may know
and are used to so you can read through that if you like um we've covered overseer already
in a separate video that you guys might be interested in so feel free to check that out
we're just looking at jelly seer and it's going to be offering a lot of those features which is great
because a lot of people want to self-host and what we did last week we'll show you jellyfin
to get you started on your journey and hopefully get these projects supported really well now the
installation's not too difficult we'll get into a lot of the look of it once we get in there of
course you can see from the screenshot that we've got a very familiar overseer outlay okay it's very
familiar you're going to feel like you're right at home if you're already using overseer but we're
getting that extra support so then there's some other links here you've got their discord as well
you can ask questions at their github discussions and you can put in bug reports as well so they're
big on contribution and something we really appreciate about these developers is they're very
active in development they've been working very hard on this app and taking community feedback
and actually listening to the crowd we know there's some developers that aren't doing that
sometimes that's a detriment to themselves of course but these guys have been really responsive
to the community and that's the kind of thing that we want to help support so guys all said and done
it's pretty straightforward yeah we're talking about overseer with jellyfin and mb support sure
that sounds basic on the box but let's actually get into the app and see what it looks like
i'll show you the installation for both unraid and docker compo let's start with unraid if you're not
using unraid feel free to use the chapters to get to the next step and here we are on osiris our
unraid server first thing we'll do is head over to apps search for jelly seer and you'll see one here
by x we just repository we'll click on that you can see it's pulling from the official repository
go ahead and click install we're going to set the network type to our custom docker network the port
it's using is 5055. we have the app data location which we're happy with and then there's the log
level which is currently set to info scroll down and then we have our pu id and pg id as well as
the umask that's all pretty straightforward we don't need to change much go ahead and click
apply so we come back to our docker tab and we can see jelly sierra is running let's left-click and
go to the web ui and here we are we're now on the web ui let's quickly show you the docker compose
file and then we can jump into the app which is where all the action is really going to happen
also guys if you're not aware all this stuff is in our documentation to help you navigate and find
all the links that you might need to go along with today's video you can find them at our docs page
docs docs.ibracorp.io alright guys so now we're ssh to our ubuntu server this is where we use all
of our docker compost the first thing we'll do is create a folder for us to put jelly sear in
there now my location for docker containers is in the opt folder if yours is somewhere
else obviously just make sure that folder is correct so we've created the docker compost file
we can see that in there what we'll do now is go to our code server and we'll paste in our
docker composer there if you haven't seen our video on code server be sure to check that out
it's a really useful tool okay guys so we've now pasted our docker compose configuration with
that done we'll go ahead and start it up go ahead back to your terminal and type in docker compose
up hyphen d in the folder where the compost file is as you can see i made a tiny mistake
accidentally put an underscore instead of a hyphen also just corrected the environment variable there
and there we go now that's pulling down for us and it should be up in no time and it's done so let's
navigate to that now and now both you guys who are using unraid or docker compos can watch from
the same point from this point on we're going to be looking inside the app itself alright guys so
now we've shown you both installation methods now we can all look at the app together then when you
first start up you'll get the installation screen and you have to set it up so i wouldn't recommend
reverse proxy in this before you've obviously set it up just in case you might have some sort of
automation with that just be careful once you've got it up and running jump straight in so you have
two options we can use our plex account to sign in or we can use our jellyfin account now i want
to assume that i don't want to be tied to another third party so we'll try with our jellyfin account
and see how that goes so i've put in our jellyfin url which is local to obviously jealous here uh if
they were on the same custom docker network which they are i can also just put the container name
if i so choose jellyfin just like that and keep the rest as is all right and it's signed me in
so it's actually signed me in with my user account from jellyfin which is great and now
it's going to ask us to sync the libraries let's go ahead and do that beautiful that's worked we'll
check our two libraries off and do we want to trigger a scan usually i don't trigger a scan
during a setup phase because you might be messing with a lot of settings so i recommend you actually
just hold off on that until you've set up completely and then run the scan or let it just
do it whenever it's automated next we'll just click continue and now it's going to ask us for
our radar and sonar settings now i'm not going to fill it out for today's video but if you want
to go ahead just put in the server name so you can call that whatever you want the host name
you can use the container name again and port if they're on the same custom docker network
um if you don't know how to do that we have a one minute video on how to do that otherwise just use
the host ip if it's bridged we have our ports and then we have a bunch of other information that you
get from sonar and radar so with the installation and the initial setup done now we can really
get to brass tacks right now we're talking about a media request system that supports jellyfin right
it also supports mb and it also supports plex you heard me right so we asked the developers what
would you like showcased what's something about this app that people really need to know about
they've come back with the fact that it works with all major media servers plex mb jellyfin
but here's the kicker that you may not know soon we will support multiple simultaneous
server instances now think about that for a second that could be quite useful if you have
multiple media servers multiple media request apps as well now the goal behind this project from the
words of the developer is that it was started as a fork of overseer but for the new version that
you guys haven't got yet 1.2.0 they're planning to bring in some much needed features so they're
bringing in things like multi-instance support to have multiple media servers linked the ability to
change emails for each user nb and jellyfin only music support filters combined login book support
and much more now where do we start with that guys that's a lot that we have planned in the pipeline
and a lot of features i think a lot of us in the community will find pretty useful often people
bring up omb as a competitor of course and they mention the fact that it does music and so that's
a benefit and sure is it definitely is i agree looks like jelly seer might be getting as well
and something that could tip it over the line to be a very high contender in the media request app
field it's already impressing now let's select the media item so we'll go to fantastic beasts
here for example we have a look through we're pretty familiar with that looks great
really easy to read everything we love about it and then we click on request now it's going to be
requested automatically that's fine we haven't got sonar and radar running in this setup so
we haven't set this up if we come into the user list you'll see it'll tell you the type of user
we have you can also import jellyfin users so if you've got other ones there you can pull them in
and you can create local users inside of jelly seer itself as well inside the
settings we've got some interesting ones so here's where our jellyfin library is
you can configure the external url as well so that any media items obviously link to that page and
it could be the external page if you're reverse proxying it but all your notification settings as
well similar to overseer there and then we have our about and all the settings that you set up
earlier now something that has been requested by the community for the developers to create
is season information request now that's something that they've actually listened
to the community on and community said we want that they've implemented the feature requests
and this is one that's 85 percent done now according to the developer the ability to
have information on season requests obviously anyone not familiar with the media request app
you just go into any item and you click request and it should link up to your radar and sonar
and i'm really impressed with the communication from these guys it's been really really fun
so there you go guys jelly seer it's easy it's clean and it's free and open source on top of
that it supports open source products so for those of us who want to get away from plex or get away
from any third party having our data or us relying on them to get to our own information we now have
some really good options out there and we really should be supporting these options any way we can
now these guys have said they accept pull requests on github and they would love any more that anyone
is willing to provide to help them continue to develop the application further and further
a lot of features coming in pretty hot and heavy so keep an eye out on development with this one
i'm really keen to see where it goes uh even right now it's a very strong contender to move me away
from those like i said third-party run systems and trying to get everything self-hosted again which
is always a nice feeling if you guys enjoyed the video please think about liking and subscribing
