jfa-go is a user management app for [Jellyfin](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin) (and now [Emby](https://emby.media/)) that provides invite-based account creation as well as other features that make one's instance much easier to manage.

a rewrite of [jellyfin-accounts](https://github.com/hrfee/jellyfin-accounts) (original naming for both, ik 
😂).

#### Features
* 🧑 Invite based account creation: Send invites to your friends or family, and let them choose their own username and password without relying on you.
    * Send invites via a link and/or email
    * Granular control over invites: Validity period as well as number of uses can be specified.
    * Account profiles: Assign settings profiles to invites so new users have your predefined permissions, homescreen layout, etc. applied to their account on creation.
    * Password validation: Ensure users choose a strong password.
* ⌛ User expiry: Specify a validity period, and new users accounts will be disabled/deleted after it. The period can be manually extended too.
* 🔗 Ombi Integration: Automatically creates Ombi accounts for new users using their email address and login details, and your own defined set of permissions.
* Account management: Apply settings to your users individually or en masse, and delete users, optionally sending them an email notification with a reason.
* Telegram/Discord/Matrix Integration: Verify users via a chat bot, and send Password Resets, Announcements, etc. through it.
* 📨 Email storage: Add your existing users email addresses through the UI, and jfa-go will ask new users for them on account creation.
    * Email addresses can optionally be used instead of usernames
* 🔑 Password resets: When users forget their passwords and request a change in Jellyfin, jfa-go reads the PIN from the created file and sends it straight to the user via email/telegram.
* Notifications: Get notified when someone creates an account, or an invite expires.
* 📣 Announcements: Bulk message your users with announcements about your server.
* Authentication via Jellyfin: Instead of using separate credentials for jfa-go and Jellyfin, jfa-go can use it as the authentication provider.
    * Enables the usage of jfa-go by multiple people
* 🌓 Customizations
    * Customize emails with variables and markdown
    * Specify contact and help messages to appear in emails and pages
    * Light and dark themes available

#### 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. For Linux users, these builds depend on the `libappindicator3-1`/`libappindicator-gtk3`/`libappindicator` package for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and Alpine respectively.

##### [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/hrfee/jfa-go)
```sh
docker create \

            # -p 8057:8057 if using tls
             -v /path/to/.config/jfa-go:/data \ # Path to wherever you want to store the config file and other data
             -v /path/to/jellyfin:/jf \ # Path to Jellyfin config directory, ignore if using Emby
             -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \ # Makes sure time is correct
             hrfee/jfa-go # hrfee/jfa-go:unstable for latest build from git
```

##### Arch
Available on the AUR as:
* [jfa-go](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jfa-go/) (stable)
* [jfa-go-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jfa-go) (pre-compiled, stable)
* [jfa-go-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jfa-go-git/) (nightly)

##### Other platforms
Download precompiled binaries from:
 * [The releases section](https://github.com/hrfee/jfa-go/releases) (stable)
 * [Buildrone](https://builds.hrfee.dev/view/hrfee/jfa-go) (nightly)

unzip the `jfa-go`/`jfa-go.exe` executable to somewhere useful.
* For \*nix/macOS users, `chmod +x jfa-go` then place it somewhere in your PATH like `/usr/bin`.

Run the executable to start.


#### 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.

```
Usage of jfa-go:
  start
	start jfa-go as a daemon and run in the background.
  stop
	stop a daemonized instance of jfa-go.
  systemd
	generate a systemd .service file.

  -config, -c string
    	alternate path to config file. (default "/home/hrfee/.config/jfa-go/config.ini")
  -data, -d string
    	alternate path to data directory. (default "/home/hrfee/.config/jfa-go")
  -debug
    	Enables debug logging.
  -help, -h
    	prints this message.
  -host string
    	alternate address to host web ui on.
  -port, -p int
    	alternate port to host web ui on.
  -pprof
    	Exposes pprof profiler on /debug/pprof.
  -swagger
    	Enable swagger at /swagger/index.html
```

#### Systemd
jfa-go does not run as a daemon by default. Run `jfa-go systemd` to create a systemd `.service` file in your current directory, which you can copy into `~/.config/systemd/user` or somewhere else.

---

If you're switching from jellyfin-accounts, copy your existing `~/.jf-accounts` to:

* `XDG_CONFIG_DIR/jfa-go` (usually ~/.config/jfa-go) on \*nix systems, 
* `%AppData%/jfa-go` on Windows,
* `~/Library/Application Support/jfa-go` on macOS.

(or specify config/data path  with `-config/-data` respectively.)
