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

I chose to rewrite the python [jellyfin-accounts](https://github.com/hrfee/jellyfin-accounts) in Go mainly as a learning experience, but also to slightly improve speeds and efficiency.

#### Features
* 🧑 Invite based account creation: Sends 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 defaults: Configure an example account to your liking, and its permissions, access rights and homescreen layout can be applied to all new users.
    * Password validation: Ensure users choose a strong password.
* 📨 Email storage: Add your existing user's 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 user's 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.
* Notifications: Get notified when someone creates an account, or an invite expires.
* 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
* 🌓 Customizable look
    * Specify contact and help messages to appear in emails and pages
    * Light and dark themes available
    * Optionally provide custom CSS

#### Install

Available on the AUR as [jfa-go](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jfa-go/).

For other platforms, grab an archive from the release section for your platform, and extract `jfa-go` and `data` to the same directory.
* For linux users, you can place them inside `/opt/jfa-go` and then run 
`sudo ln -s /opt/jfa-go/jfa-go /usr/bin/jfa-go` to place it in your PATH.

Run the executable to start.

For [docker](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/hrfee/jfa-go), run: 
```
docker create \
             --name "jfa-go" \ # Whatever you want to name it
             -p 8056:8056 \
             -v /path/to/.config/jfa-go:/data \ # Equivalent of ~/.jf-accounts
             -v /path/to/jellyfin:/jf \ # Path to jellyfin config directory
             -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \ # Makes sure time is correct
             hrfee/jfa-go
```

#### Build from source
A Dockerfile is provided that creates an image built from source, but it's only suitable for those who will run jfa-go in docker.

Full build instructions can be found [here](https://github.com/hrfee/jfa-go/wiki/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.

Note: jfa-go does not run as a daemon by default. You'll need to figure this out yourself.

```
Usage of ./jfa-go:
  -config string
    	alternate path to config file. (default "~/.config/jfa-go/config.ini")
  -data string
    	alternate path to data directory. (default "~/.config/jfa-go")
  -host string
    	alternate address to host web ui on.
  -port int
    	alternate port to host web ui on.
```

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

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

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