# Admin Guide — arrflix.s8n.ru The single page that tells you what to do and where to read more. Anything not on this page lives in `docs/` — links inline. What's next on this deploy → [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). --- ## Where things live | Thing | Where | |---|---| | Compose file | `docker-compose.yml` (this repo) → deployed at `nullstone:/opt/docker/jellyfin/` | | Config + cache | `nullstone:/home/docker/jellyfin/{config,cache}/` | | Media root | `nullstone:/home/user/media/{movies,tv}/` | | Traefik route | `/opt/docker/traefik/config/jellyfin-test.yml` (file-provider — see [docs/04 § routing-quirk](docs/04-theming-and-users.md)) | | Pi-hole DNS pin | `/opt/docker/pihole/etc-pihole/custom.list` → `192.168.0.100 arrflix.s8n.ru` | | User wrapper | `bin/add-jellyfin-user.sh` (always use this) | --- ## Daily ops ### Add a new user **Always** use the wrapper. UI signup skips the canonical home layout + subtitle/audio prefs. ```bash JELLYFIN_TOKEN= ./bin/add-jellyfin-user.sh ``` What it does → [docs/04 § friend playbook](docs/04-theming-and-users.md). Why it exists (Jellyfin has no native global default) → see same doc. ### Add new media 1. Drop source into `/home/admin/Downloads//` on onyx. 2. Run cleanup: strip junk per [docs/07](docs/07-pre-import-cleanup.md). Use `bin/cleanup-import.sh` once written; for now follow the rules in that doc by hand. 3. Normalize filenames per [docs/08](docs/08-filename-normalization.md). Use `bin/normalize.py` once written. 4. Stage to `/home/admin/staging-jelly-/<canonical-name>/`. 5. `scp -r` to `nullstone:/home/user/media/<lib>/`. 6. Trigger refresh: `curl -X POST -H "Authorization: MediaBrowser Token=$TOKEN" https://arrflix.s8n.ru/Library/Refresh`. 7. Verify: hit the URL, check artwork + titles + episode counts. 8. **Only after confirmed working**: delete the source download + the staging dir. Naming + folder rules: [docs/05](docs/05-file-structure-rules.md). ### Library not scraping right Symptoms → fix: | Symptom | Cause | Fix doc | |---|---|---| | No posters / backdrops | `EnableInternetProviders=false` or wrong fetcher name | [docs/01](docs/01-artwork-and-images.md) | | Episode titles blank or filenames | Series has empty `ProviderIds` (never matched) | [docs/02 § Identify flow](docs/02-metadata-and-titles.md) | | Wrong show matched | Auto-match picked sequel/reboot | [docs/02 § locking the right show](docs/02-metadata-and-titles.md) | | Polish/wrong language | Library `PreferredMetadataLanguage` mismatch | [docs/02 § language cascade](docs/02-metadata-and-titles.md) | ### Subtitles not auto-downloading → [docs/03 § OpenSubtitles plugin setup](docs/03-subtitles.md). Owner needs an opensubtitles.com account (NOT .org). Free tier = 20/day. ### Theme broke after Jellyfin upgrade ElegantFin imports from `cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/lscambo13/ElegantFin@main/...` — auto-fixes itself most of the time. If the upstream theme breaks on a JF version bump, pin to a known-good tag. Procedure: [docs/04 § maintenance](docs/04-theming-and-users.md). --- ## Operational rules (these are non-negotiable) 1. **Wrapper-only user creation.** Don't create users in the Dashboard UI. Always run `bin/add-jellyfin-user.sh` so the layout + prefs are consistent. Doc 04. 2. **Stage before import.** Never drop raw downloads into `/home/user/media/`. Always clean + normalize first. Docs 05/07/08. 3. **Verify before delete.** Don't delete source downloads or old library entries until the new content is confirmed playing in the Jellyfin UI. 4. **No bind-mount drift.** If you change `docker-compose.yml`, commit + push to `git.s8n.ru/s8n/ARRFLIX` in the same step. The repo is the source of truth for the deploy. Doc memory: `feedback_always_commit_to_my_git.md`. 5. **No public DNS.** `arrflix.s8n.ru` resolves only via Pi-hole locally. Do NOT add a Gandi A record. LAN-only is the threat model. --- ## Reference docs (read on demand) | Doc | When to read | |---|---| | [01-artwork-and-images](docs/01-artwork-and-images.md) | Artwork missing or wrong; want to install Fanart.tv | | [02-metadata-and-titles](docs/02-metadata-and-titles.md) | Wrong show matched; bad titles; multi-episode files | | [03-subtitles](docs/03-subtitles.md) | OpenSubtitles config; sidecar `.srt` naming; ffmpeg extraction | | [04-theming-and-users](docs/04-theming-and-users.md) | Theme tweaks; multi-user policies; SyncPlay | | [05-file-structure-rules](docs/05-file-structure-rules.md) | What folder/filename to use for any new media | | [06-per-library-themes](docs/06-per-library-themes.md) | Want Movies-as-Netflix vs Anime-as-Crunchyroll skins | | [07-pre-import-cleanup](docs/07-pre-import-cleanup.md) | What to strip from a download before import | | [08-filename-normalization](docs/08-filename-normalization.md) | How to rename files into canonical form | --- ## Emergency rollback | Operation | Rollback | |---|---| | Bad CustomCss change | `curl -X POST .../System/Configuration/branding` with prior backup | | Compose change broke startup | `git checkout HEAD~ docker-compose.yml && docker compose up -d` | | Library scan loop stuck | Settings → Dashboard → Scheduled Tasks → cancel "Scan Media Library" | | New media import wrong | Don't panic. The source download is still in `/home/admin/Downloads/`.
