Emby Server
Your own media server: stream movies, shows, music and photos to any device.
Emby Server is a personal media server. Point it at your media library and it organizes and streams your movies, TV shows, music and photos to any device - web browser, phone, tablet, TV or app - with automatic metadata, artwork and on-the-fly transcoding. Deployed from the NetActuate marketplace it boots ready to run; open the web UI and complete Emby's own first-run setup wizard to create the administrator account and add your libraries.
The web UI and REST API answer on port 8096. There is no baked credential: the first visit to the web UI runs Emby's setup wizard where you choose the admin account.
Emby Server is free to use, with an optional Emby Premiere subscription for premium features (Emby, https://emby.media). This appliance packages the unmodified official public emby/embyserver container image on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; nothing is baked in beyond the upstream release, no license and no key. NetActuate is not affiliated with or endorsed by Emby.
