API

Visit the docs folder for the API docs.

Installation

Requirements

• Linux environment with Docker.
• Optional network mounted storage.
• 50gb+ free storage, see storage requirements.
• A Twitch Application
  • Create an applicaton.

Installation

Ganymede consists of four docker containers:

1. API
2. Frontend
3. Postgres Database
4. Nginx

Feel free to use an existing Postgres database container and Nginx container if you don't want to spin new ones up.

1. Download a copy of the docker-compose.yml file and nginx.conf.
2. Edit the docker-compose.yml file modifying the environment variables, see environment variables for more information.
3. Run docker compose up -d.
4. Visit the address and port you specified for the frontend and login with username: admin password: ganymede.
5. Change the admin password or create a new user, grant admin permissions on that user, and delete the admin user.

Rootless

The API container can be run as a non root user. To do so add PUID and PGID environment variables, setting the value to your user. Read linuxserver's docs about this for more information.

Note: On startup the container will chown the config, temp, and logs directory. It will not recursively chown the /data/videos directory. Ensure the mounted /data/videos directory is readable by the set user.

Environment Variables

The docker-compose.yml file has comments for each environment variable. The *_URL envionrment variables must be the 'public' URLs (e.g. https://ganymedem.domain.com) it cannot be a URL to just the docker service.
