How to run from command-line?

How can I run filebot CLI?

I have it configured to run an AMC script and can access the webUI fine, but there's some testing I want to do with the AMC script and I don't want to have to update/restart the container every time to reload the script configs.

I tried docker exec -it filebot sh but when I try to run filebot commands, I get sh: filebot: not found

I am looking for this as well.

This works:

docker exec filebot /opt/filebot/filebot -version
FileBot 4.9.1 (r7372) JDK8 / OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.8.0_242 / Linux 5.4.0-48-generic (amd64)

But this just hangs

docker exec filebot /opt/filebot/filebot -rename "/storage/What It's Like Being Alone"

docker exec filebot /opt/filebot/filebot is the way to manually invoke the FileBot CLI.

@checktravis, it can take some time to execute, did you wait enough long? Maybe add --log all to see any activity ?

[checktravis]

I'll try that

Hi, I have this issues too...

using your Unraid Docker:

open the Console:

/tmp # docker exec filebot /opt/filebot/filebot
sh: docker: not found

I got this in the console

do I have to do something else to activate the docker cmd?

or is AMC already use the duplicate script? -> filebot -script dev:duplicates /path

to scan all duplicates from metadata and not from path?

Thanks You
Best Regards

You seem to have executed the command from inside the container. The command must be run on the host (unRAID) instead.

Also, in your case, the command should be:

docker exec FileBot /opt/filebot/filebot

(you must use the correct container name)
