Three-tab Bubble Tea TUI (Setup / Manage / Monitor) for setting up and running a headless Jellyfin server over SSH: - Setup: install/uninstall Jellyfin, add media drives (single or btrfs RAID pool), import an existing detached btrfs pool non-destructively, firewall, move Jellyfin storage onto a media drive - Boot-drive-safe drive classifier (walks LUKS/LVM/RAID to the physical disk; never offers a disk hosting /, /boot or swap) - Keep-existing-filesystem path previews on-disk content, skips starter folders when content exists, and grants Jellyfin recursive read access - Manage: copy from external drives, mount/eject, rename/delete - Monitor: per-core CPU, load/mem/uptime, btrfs error counters, SMART Single static binary; installs to /usr/local/bin so sudo can find it.

# TUISTREAM (`tuistream`)
|
|
|
|
A **terminal UI** for setting up and running a **headless [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org)
|
|
media server** on Arch / [Omarchy](https://omarchy.org) — over SSH, with no
|
|
desktop environment. It installs Jellyfin, attaches and mounts media drives
|
|
(single disks or btrfs RAID pools), opens the firewall, and shows a live health
|
|
monitor, all without dropping you to a shell or switching terminals mid-task.
|
|
|
|
> TUISTREAM is an independent setup/management tool for Jellyfin. It is not
|
|
> affiliated with the Jellyfin project; "Jellyfin" is used here descriptively.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Setup** — install / uninstall Jellyfin, open or close the firewall ports,
|
|
copy the server's web address to your clipboard (works over SSH + tmux), and
|
|
move Jellyfin's library storage onto a media drive.
|
|
- **Add media drive** — attach a spare disk or partition: keep its existing
|
|
filesystem or format it (btrfs / ext4 / xfs), or combine 2+ disks into a
|
|
**btrfs RAID pool** (1 / 0 / 5 / 10). The boot drive is never offered — the
|
|
classifier follows every candidate down through LUKS / LVM / RAID to its
|
|
physical disk and refuses anything hosting `/`, `/boot`, or swap.
|
|
- **Import an existing btrfs pool** — re-attach a multi-device pool from a
|
|
previous setup **non-destructively** (mounts it as-is; never formats).
|
|
- **Safe with existing media** — keeping a filesystem previews what's on it,
|
|
skips creating starter folders when it already has content, and grants Jellyfin
|
|
read access recursively so existing media is actually visible to the scanner.
|
|
- **Manage** — copy media in from an external drive (with a file picker),
|
|
mount / eject drives, and rename or delete files, each behind a confirmation.
|
|
- **Monitor** — per-core CPU, load / memory / uptime, per-mount capacity, btrfs
|
|
pool error counters, and per-disk SMART health — for a box you only reach over
|
|
SSH.
|
|
- **Single static binary**; missing tools (btrfs-progs, xfsprogs, acl, …) are
|
|
installed on first launch.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
One line, nothing to clone:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/28allday/TUISTREAM/main/install.sh | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs the right binary for your architecture into `/usr/local/bin`
|
|
(using `sudo` if needed) so both `tuistream` and `sudo tuistream` resolve. Pin a
|
|
version with `TUISTREAM_VERSION=v0.1.0`, or change the prefix with `PREFIX=/opt`.
|
|
|
|
TUISTREAM installs to a **system** path on purpose: it's a root-by-design tool
|
|
(installs Jellyfin, edits `/etc/fstab`, mounts drives), so it must be on the sudo
|
|
`secure_path` — `~/.local/bin` is not.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo tuistream # full TUI
|
|
tuistream --read-only # inventory views only, no root, no actions
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run with `sudo`, it acts on behalf of the real user behind the sudo invocation
|
|
(`$SUDO_USER`): media drives mount under `/media/<user>/` and its Omarchy theme
|
|
is used. `tab` / `shift+tab` switch tabs, `r` refreshes, `q` quits; each tab
|
|
shows its key bar at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
A first-run, from an empty box to a working server — all from the **Setup** tab
|
|
(`sudo tuistream`):
|
|
|
|
1. **Install Jellyfin** — press `i` and confirm. TUISTREAM pulls Jellyfin from
|
|
the official Arch repo and starts the service.
|
|
2. **Attach storage for your media**:
|
|
- A spare disk → press `a` (**add drive**), pick it, choose *Keep existing
|
|
filesystem* or format it, and name it. It mounts at
|
|
`/media/<user>/<name>`.
|
|
- A multi-disk btrfs pool from a previous setup → press `p` (**import pool**)
|
|
to re-attach it untouched. (`p` only shows when such a pool is present.)
|
|
- On a fresh drive, TUISTREAM seeds library folders for you under
|
|
`<mount>/JellyfinMedia/`: `Movies`, `Shows`, `Music`, `Books`,
|
|
`Home Videos`, `Music Videos`. Copy your media into these (the **Manage**
|
|
tab's `c` can copy in from an external drive).
|
|
3. **Open the firewall** — press `f` so other devices on your LAN can reach the
|
|
server (ports `8096/tcp` web UI and `7359/udp` discovery).
|
|
4. **Open the web UI** — press `y` to copy the server's address
|
|
(`http://<host>:8096`) to your clipboard, even over SSH, then open it in a
|
|
browser on any LAN device.
|
|
5. **Create your libraries in Jellyfin** — in the web UI's first-run wizard, add
|
|
a library for each type and point it at the matching folder under
|
|
`/media/<user>/<name>/JellyfinMedia/` (e.g. *Movies* → `…/JellyfinMedia/Movies`).
|
|
The folder names already match Jellyfin's content types.
|
|
|
|
Optional: press `j` to move Jellyfin's own library database and metadata off the
|
|
OS drive onto a media drive (handy on a small boot SSD).
|
|
|
|
## Build from source
|
|
|
|
Needs Go 1.26+.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/28allday/TUISTREAM
|
|
cd TUISTREAM
|
|
./install.sh # builds, then installs to /usr/local/bin
|
|
```
