## Project Status: Active-ish
Studies mean I can't work on this project a lot outside of breaks, however I hope i'll be able to fit in general support and things like bug fixes into my time. New features and such will likely come in short bursts throughout the year (if they do at all).
#### Does/Will it still work?
jfa-go currently works on Jellyfin 10.11.0, the latest version as of 21/10/25. I should be able to maintain compatibility in the future, unless any big changes occur.
#### Alternatives
If you want a bit more guarantee of support [Wizarr](https://github.com/Wizarrrr/wizarr) is popular and seems very polished. It supports multiple media servers, lots of customization and invitation through Discord.
---
jfa-go is a user management app for [Jellyfin](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin) (and [Emby](https://emby.media/) as 2nd class) that provides invite-based account creation as well as other features that make ones instance much easier to manage.
#### Features
* **Invites**: Send invite links to new users so they can sign up without relying on you.
* Customize with profiles: Apply Jellyfin settings (library access, transcoding, etc.) on sign-up, with different profiles for each user type.
* Limit invites by time or number of uses, enforce strong passwords, require a CAPTCHA, and more
* **Password Resets**: Let your users do it themselves. Works with the Jellyfin "Forgot Password" feature, or through the "My Account" page. [See the wiki for your options](https://wiki.jfa-go.com/docs/pwr/).
* **Contact your users**: Collect email address, Discord/Telegram/Matrix info when the user signs up or add later, and jfa-go will contact them when needed (e.g. on/before account expiry, disabling/enabling, deletion) or when you wish with Markdown announcements.
* "Confirm email" optional, similar is required for Discord/Telegram/Matrix
* **"My Account"**: Lets your users change their password or email/contact info themselves and show them relevant info on a special page. Also,
* Referrals: Allow users a special, limited invite to give to their friends/family.
* **Advanced user management**: See all of your users at once and manage them in bulk (enable/disable/delete, send markdown announcements, apply profiles/settings, and more)
* User expiry: Set on an invite, and any new users will be valid for a fixed period (e.g. 30 days). After time passes, account is disabled, deleted, or disabled then deleted.
* **Ombi/Jellyseerr integration**: Sync username/passwords & contact details between your services.
* **Customizable**: Edit messages sent to users and shown on invites, "My Account" page and more with full Markdown support.

#### Install
**Note**: `TrayIcon` builds include a tray icon to start/stop/restart, and an option to automatically start when you log-in to your computer.
`MatrixE2EE` builds (and Linux `TrayIcon` builds) include support for end-to-end encryption for the Matrix bot, but require the `libolm(-dev)` dependency. `.deb/.rpm/.apk` packages list this dependency, and docker images include it.

#### Build from source
If you're using docker, a Dockerfile is provided that builds from source.
Otherwise, full build instructions can be found [here](https://wiki.jfa-go.com/docs/build/).
#### 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.
```
