Emby Family WHMCS module
This module allows your company to offer public media services to customers through Emby accounts. It facilitates the creation of customer accounts on a pre-configured Emby server, enabling the sale of various media packages at different prices. Moreover, it includes the functionality to add multiple media accounts for a single service. This feature enables customers to manage multiple Emby accounts under one subscription. Administrators retain control over user account management, with the ability to suspend, terminate, or unsuspend accounts, change passwords, and more. Meanwhile, clients have the autonomy to manage their devices and libraries efficiently. The module also supports multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for a diverse user base.

1. Install Emby on your server
To simplify deployment and help automate this for as many users as possible, we provide a BASH script to handle repo installation as well as installing Emby. All you need to do is run this command on your system
wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.7.14.0/emby-server-deb_4.7.14.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.7.14.0_amd64.deb
2. SSL certificate generation:
sudo apt install nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --hsts --staple-ocsp --email YOUR_EMAIL -d DOMAIN_NAME
echo "0 0 * * * root certbot renew --quiet --no-self-upgrade --post-hook 'systemctl reload nginx'" | sudo tee -a /etc/cron.d/renew_certbot
3. Configure nginx from a subdomain
Create a file named nginx.conf.
cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
nano nginx.conf
Then, insert the following text, replacing DOMAIN_NAME with your domain.
# Uncomment the commented sections after you have acquired a SSL Certificate
server {
listen 80;
#listen [::]:80;
server_name DOMAIN_NAME;
# Uncomment to redirect HTTP to HTTPS
return 302 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
#listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name DOMAIN_NAME;
## The default `client_max_body_size` is 1M, this might not be enough for some posters, etc.
