Jellystat is a free, open-source statistics application designed for Jellyfin, a media server platform. It provides detailed insights into media usage, including session monitoring, user activity, watch history, and library statistics. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Jellystat on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.
