What you get with managed Jellyfin

Every Jellyfin instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.

One-click deploy

Jellyfin is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the jellyfin image and wires storage.

SSL included

Every Jellyfin deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.

Dedicated resources

Jellyfin runs on the CPU, RAM and SSD of the pack you pick — not squeezed onto a shared box with everyone else. Resize when you need more.

Full container access

It is your container: exec into Jellyfin, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.

Status and logs

Start, stop and restart Jellyfin from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.

Managed by HW

Ask our AI to deploy Jellyfin, change its settings or debug it — from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.
