docker-easyepg

This Image is based on the Work of linuxserver's webgrabplus container (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webgrabplus)

easyEPG is a WebGrab++ alternative providing high-quality EPG data from different IPTV/OTT sources.

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=easyepg \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -v <path to easyepg>:/easyepg \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  your image name

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively.

Parameter	Function
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London
-v /easyepg	Where easyepg should be stored (including config and resulting xml).

User / Group Identifiers

When using 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 any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

 

Application Setup

To configure easyEPG follow the documentation

Note that to configure easyEPG you need to open the Terminal of the container by using "docker exec"

Make sure to only call easyEPG in the terminal via the following command to make sure that no permission-issues arise: /bin/bash /defaults/epgupdate.sh

To adjust the scheduled cron job for grabbing, edit the ee-cron file found in the /easyepg folder. After you have edited the the ee-cron file, restart the container to apply the new schedule. Do not adjust the command!

Below is the syntax of the cron file.

 ┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)
 │ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
 │ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1 - 31)
 │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)
 │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday;
 │ │ │ │ │                                       7 is also Sunday on some systems)
 │ │ │ │ │
 │ │ │ │ │
 * * * * *  /bin/bash /defaults/epgupdate.sh

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it easyepg /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f easyepg
• container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' easyepg

Updating Info

The Container updates to the most recent version of EasyEPG when restartet
