How to Install Jellyfin Media Server with Nginx on Ubuntu 24.04

Jellyfin is a free, open-source media system that puts you in complete control of your entertainment. Unlike other services, Jellyfin has no hidden costs, no premium subscriptions, and no tracking. It allows you to collect, manage, and stream your movies, TV shows, and music from your own server to any device—whether it's your phone, tablet, or smart TV. By installing it on Ubuntu with Nginx, you're building a private, high-performance Netflix alternative that you own entirely.
