+# `finallycoffee.services.jellyfin` ansible role
+
+This role runs [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/), a free software media system,
+in a docker container.
+
+## Usage
+
+`jellyfin_domain` contains the FQDN which jellyfin should listen to. Most configuration
+is done in the software itself.
+
+Jellyfin runs in host networking mode by default, as that is needed for some features like
+network discovery with chromecasts and similar.
+
+Media can be mounted into jellyfin using `jellyfin_media_volumes`, taking a list of strings
+akin to `community.docker.docker_container`'s `volumes` key.
