Create jellystat as a deb application

[NasFlix1]

Hello,

You can create Jellystat as a deb application; it would be simpler because you need to install Docker, but not everyone can.

Thank you for your understanding.

I would rather see it as a regular jellyfin plugin, where we add the repository, install/activate the plugin.

It's already possible to run jellystats without docker without too much hassle.

This assumes you have a postgresql server setup with a database ready to go, this is honestly a bit harder than getting jellystats itself to run!

apt install nodeenv git

# NOTE: setup a user for jellystats
useradd --system --no-create-home --shell /usr/sbin/nologin --user-group jellystats
mkdir -p /opt/jellystats
chown jellystats:jellystats  /opt/jellystats

# NOTE: become the users so all the files are owned correctly
sudo -u jellystats -s bash
cd /opt/jellystats


# NOTE: grab a modern node version that is not tied to the systems node package
