jellyfin-notification-webhook

Summary

Webhook for processing Jellyfin notifications. It used webhook (see below) to receive the notification payload, and then ntfy to send the prepared notification.

Why

There is no Jellyfin plugin that supports ntfy, my chosen notification service. While there is a generic webhook plugin for Jellyfin, editing and troubleshooting it is tedious and error-prone.

Setup

1. Copy the content of hooks.json file to your your webhook configuration file.
2. In Jellyfin, install the Webhook notification plugin.
3. Restart Jellyfin.
4. Navigate to the plugin configuration page and click on Add Generic Destination.
5. Set webhook URL to: $WEBHOOK_URL/hooks/jellyfin-receive (this hook ID is set in hooks.json).
6. Check these Notification Type:
   • Authentication Failure
   • Item Added
   • Pending Restart
   • Plugin Uninstalled
   • User Deleted
   • User Locked Out
7. Lastly, check the Send All Properties (ignores template) checkbox.
8. Copy the jellyfin.sh script to your webhook script folder.
9. Add the execute permission to it, for example by running chmod +x jellyfin.sh.
10. Edit the jellyfin.sh script, adjusting the values of NTFY_SERVER_URL and NTFY_CHANNEL based on your setup.
