Get Started

The easiest way to get started is to use the hosted instance at https://preserveplayer.com. This requires your jellyfin instance is accesssible from your web browser. If you want a desktop application, or your security settings do not allow other web pages to access your jellyfin server, you can also download a desktop version from the releases page.

Finally, users wishing to self host the web application can use one of the advanced setup methods listed below.

Advanced Setup (Unix)

Building

Building the application locally requires jq and node 12+.

Run make dist to build a local copy in the dist/

Installation

Run make install. Files get installed to /usr/local/share/webapps/preserve by default. This can be overridden with the prefix option, e.g. make install prefix=/srv/www.

Running

Have your preferred web server serve the files at /usr/local/share/webapps/preserve. A built in web server for local use is available in contrib/webserver-config/index.js. Alternatively, sample configs for nginx or Caddy are included. By default the application will be available at http://localhost:5678/

Advanced Setup (generic Node)

Building

npm ci && npm run build:prod

Installation

Copy the files from dist/ to your desired webroot, and configure your web server. See the options in contrib/webserver-config.

Running

Start your web server. For the local express server this can be done with npm run serve. By default the application will be available at http://localhost:5678/

Advanced Setup (docker)

Running

docker run -p 5678:5678 tonyfinn/preserve:latest

Visit http://localhost:5678

Individual versions are also tagged, e.g. as tonyfinn/preserve:0.2.3. See docker hub for more versions.
