A basic account management system for Jellyfin.

• Provides a web interface for creating invite codes, and a simple account creation form
• Sends out emails when a user requests a password reset
• Uses a basic python jellyfin API client for communication with the server.
• Uses Flask, HTTPAuth, itsdangerous, and Waitress
• Frontend uses Bootstrap, jQuery and jQuery-serialize-object
• Password resets are handled using smtplib, requests, and jinja

Requirements

• This should work anywhere Python does, i've tried to not use anything OS-specific. Drop an issue if there's a problem, of course.

* python >= 3.6
* flask
* flask_httpauth
* jinja2
* requests
* itsdangerous
* passlib
* secrets
* configparser
* pyOpenSSL
* waitress
* pytz
* python-dateutil
* watchdog

Install

Usually as simple as:

git clone https://github.com/hrfee/jellyfin-accounts.git
cd jellyfin-accounts
pip3 install pyOpenSSL
python3 setup.py install

If not, or if you want to use docker, see install.

Usage

• Passing no arguments will run the server

usage: jf-accounts [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-d DATA] [--host HOST] [-p PORT] [-g]

jellyfin-accounts

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        specifies path to configuration file.
  -d DATA, --data DATA  specifies directory to store data in. defaults to
                        ~/.jf-accounts.
  --host HOST           address to host web ui on.
  -p PORT, --port PORT  port to host web ui on.
  -g, --get_defaults    tool to grab a JF users policy (access, perms, etc.)
                        and homescreen layout and output it as json to be used
                        as a user template.

Setup

New user template

• You may want to restrict a user from accessing certain libraries (e.g 4K Movies), display their account on the login screen by default, or set a default homecrseen layout. Jellyfin stores these settings in the user's policy, configuration and displayPreferences.
• Make a temporary account and change its settings, then run jf-accounts --get_defaults. Choose your user, and this data will be stored at the location you set in user_template, user_configuration and user_displayprefs (or their default locations), and used for all subsequent new accounts.

Emails/Password Resets

• When someone initiates forget password on Jellyfin, a file named passwordreset*.json is created in its configuration directory. This directory is monitored and when created, the program reads the username, expiry time and PIN, puts it into a template and sends it to whatever address is specified in emails.json.
• The default forget password popup references the passwordreset*.json file created. This is confusing for users, so a quick fix is to edit the MessageForgotPasswordFileCreated string in Jellyfin's language folder.
• Currently, jellyfin-accounts supports generic SSL/TLS or STARTTLS secured SMTP, and the mailgun REST API.
• Email html is created using mjml, and jinja templating is used. If you wish to create your own, ensure you use the same jinja expressions ({{ pin }}, etc.) as used in data/email.mjml or invite-email.mjml, and also create plain text versions for legacy email clients.

Configuration

• Note: Make sure to put this behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS.

On first run, access the setup wizard at 0.0.0.0:8056. When finished, restart the program.

The configuration is stored at ~/.jf-accounts/config.ini.

For detailed descriptions of each setting, see setup.
