Harvey Tindall db3b992857 refactor admin.js, add initial ui elements for multi-use invites
multi-use invites will have a set limit of how many times they can be
used. They can also be set to have no limit. An additional menu is
planned for multi use invites to see when they have been used, and by
who.

jellyfin-accounts

A basic account management system for Jellyfin.

  • Provides a web interface for creating/sending invites
  • 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
  • Password resets are handled using smtplib, requests, and jinja

Interface

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
* pyOpenSSL
* waitress
* pytz
* python-dateutil
* watchdog
* packaging

Install

Usually as simple as:

pip install jellyfin-accounts

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 configure it, then in the web UI, go into "Settings => Set new account defaults". Choose the account, and its configuration will be stored for future use.

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. Settings can be changed through the web UI, or by manually editing the file.

For detailed descriptions of each setting, see setup.
