docker-minidlna

Docker image with MiniDLNA installed that shares /media container directory over DLNA.

Using the image

• Install docker

• Run the following command:

docker run -d --name minidlna --net host -v </your/media/location>:/media viranch/minidlna

• Stream your media on a UPnP/DLNA compliant device.

Note for MacOS

If you're using docker on MacOS (this usually means having a VirtualBox VM with a docker installation, which is done by the docker MacOS installer), you need to do some extra steps to get this working. DLNA server & clients need to be on same network but the VirtualBox VM has a NATed network adapter. You need to add a new bridged network adapter:

1. Stop the VM: docker-machine stop default

2. Open VirtualBox, select the VM with name "default" and go to its Settings -> Network -> Select an unused Adapter, enable it and select "Bridged Adapter" under "Attached to:" field.

3. Start the VM: docker-machine start default

4. From VirtualBox, again select the "default" VM and click on Show. This will open up the terminal of the VM, use ifconfig to figure out the new bridged network adapter, say it is eth2.

5. Now add -e NIC=eth2 in the above run command after the -v switch.
