JellyGlance is a modern, self-hosted dashboard for Jellyfin media servers that unifies live sessions, user statistics, recently added media, libraries, download queues, release calendars, webhooks, backups, request management, and integrations with tools like the Arr suite, Seerr apps, and download clients into one clean, customizable command center. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install JellyGlance on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Dockhand.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest JellyGlance v1.2.10 release.

💡Note: Check out my guide on how to Install JellyGlance on Your Synology NAS.

• STEP 2

Install Dockhand using my step by step guide. If you already have Dockhand installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Dockhand version.

• STEP 4

⚠️Mandatory: You should have Jellyfin installed on your NAS. Install Jellyfin on Your UGREEN NAS With Hardware Transcoding.

• STEP 3

⚠️Mandatory: Add Read & Write Permissions to the Docker Folder.

• STEP 4

Go to Files and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it jellyglance. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 5

Now create three new folders inside the jellyglance folder that you have previously created at STEP 4 and name them backups, config, db. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 6

Open your browser and type in http://ugreen-ip-address:3866 to connect to your Dockhand container. On the left sidebar, click Stacks then + Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 7

In the Stack name field, type in jellyglance. ⚠️Warning: Type in the name in lowercase letters. The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Dockhand Compose Stack then click Create & Start.

    restart: on-failure:5

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Stack editor area below, change the value numbers for user with your own UID and GID values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.) 999 is my personal UID value and 10 is my personal GID value. You have to type in your own values.
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Stack editor area below, change the value for JWT_SECRET. (Generate your own Random 64 length WEBUI_SECRET_KEY.)
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Stack editor area below, change the value for TZ. (Select your current Time Zone from this list.)

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

• STEP 11

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://ugreen-ip-address:3055 In the apposite area, type in your own Jellyfin URL then add your Jellyfin API KEY then click Test Connection and save your details. Follow the instructions in the image below.
