THIS IMAGE IS DEPRECATED. We will no longer be making updates or rebuilding this image. The Dockerhub endpoint will stay online with the current tags for this software.

The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring easy user mapping and community support. Find us for support at:

• IRC on freenode at #linuxserver.io
• Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!

lsiocommunity/serviio

Serviio is a free media server. It allows you to stream your media files (music, video or images) to renderer devices (e.g. a TV set, Bluray player, games console or mobile phone) on your connected home network.

Usage

docker create --name=serviio \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to media>:/media \
-v <path for transcoding>:/transcode \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
--net=host lsiocommunity/serviio

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• net=host - Set network type
• -v /etc/localtime for timesync - optional
• -v /config - Where serviio stores its configuration files etc.
• -v /media - Path to your media files, add more as necessary, see below.
• -v /transcode - Transcode folder - see below. -optional, but recommended
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it serviio /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

The webui is at <your-ip>:23423/console

Add as many media folder mappings as required with -v /media/tv-shows etc... Setting a mapping for transcoding -v /transcode ensures that the container doesn't grow unneccesarily large.

Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it serviio /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime docker logs -f serviio.

• container version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' serviio

• image version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lsiocommunity/serviio
