Description

This is a guide on how to install Emby Media Server on Arch Linux.

Prepare the Environment

  • Make sure the system is up to date:
    sudo pacman -Syu
  • Install the base-devel and wget packages:
    sudo pacman -S base-devel wget rsync

Install Emby

  • Install emby:
    yaourt emby-server
  • Start and enable emby at boot:
    sudo systemctl enable emby-server
sudo systemctl start emby-server

Setup SSL

  • Generate a strong SSL key and a CSR to send for signing by a CA:
    cd /etc/ssl
openssl req -sha512 -out media.example.com.csr -new -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout emby.example.com.key
  • Send the CSR off to a CA to make a signed certificate, then add the contents of the certificate to the server:
    vi /usr/local/etc/ssl/emby.example.com.crt
  • Generate a pfx file for emby to use
    cd /etc/ssl
openssl pkcs12 -export -in emby.example.com.crt -inkey emby.example.com.key -out emby.example.com.pfx
  • Next log into http://emby.example.com:8096 and go to Setting -> Advanced -> Hosting and set the Custom certificate path to /etc/ssl/media.example.com.pfx
