Set up your Jellyfin account
jfapp runs a private Jellyfin server for the community. You need an account before you can stream or request new titles.
Getting access
Section titled “Getting access”There is no public sign-up page. When your account is ready, the admin will send you an invite link.
- Open the invite link you were sent.
- Follow the on-screen steps to choose a username (if asked) and set your password.
- When setup finishes, you are connected to the jfapp server — sign in at jfapp.xyz.
Need an account?
Contact the jfapp admin to request access. Once your account is created, you will receive an invite link to complete setup.
First sign-in
Section titled “First sign-in”After you finish the invite link setup:
- Open jfapp.xyz in a browser, or launch a Jellyfin client and add the server
jfapp.xyz. - Enter the username and password you chose during setup.
- Optional — change your password anytime from your profile:
- Click your profile icon (top right).
- Open Profile → Password.
Invite link not used yet?
If sign-in fails and you never opened your invite link, go back to the link you were sent and complete setup first. Manual login will not work until the invite is finished.
