Synology Docker LMS Step by Step

[Ecoli-557]

Jaca-
I found where my install is running in BRIDGE mode. Do I need to run in HOST mode? Where is the selection for this?
Also, do I need to do the following:

Run:

docker run -it \
-v "<somewhere>":"/config":rw \
-v "<somewhere>":"/music":ro \
-v "<somewhere>":"/playlist":rw \
-v "/etc/localtime":"/etc/localtime":ro \
-v "/etc/timezone":"/etc/timezone":ro \
-p 9000:9000/tcp \
-p 9090:9090/tcp \
-p 3483:3483/tcp \
-p 3483:3483/udp \
lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver
Please note that the http port always has to be a 1:1 mapping. You can't just map it like -p 9002:9000, as Logitech Media Server is telling players on which port to connect. Therefore if you have to use a different http port for LMS (other than 9000) you'll have to set the HTTP_PORT environment variable, too:

docker run -it \
-v "<somewhere>":"/config":rw \
-v "<somewhere>":"/music":ro \
-v "<somewhere>":"/playlist":rw \
-v "/etc/localtime":"/etc/localtime":ro \
-v "/etc/timezone":"/etc/timezone":ro \
-p 9002:9002/tcp \
-p 9090:9090/tcp \
-p 3483:3483/tcp \
-p 3483:3483/udp \
-e HTTP_PORT=9002 \
lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver
Docker compose:

version: '3'
services:
lms:
container_name: lms
image: lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver
volumes:
- /<somewhere>:/config:rw
- /<somewhere>:/music:ro
- /<somewhere>:/playlist:rw
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
- /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
ports:
- 9000:9000/tcp
- 9090:9090/tcp
- 3483:3483/tcp
- 3483:3483/udp
restart: always
Alternatively you can specify the user and group id to use: For run add:

-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000
For compose add:

environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000

What are the USER and GROUP IDs used for and do I need them?
Apologies for the bother, but I would like for this to work.
I am using a DS1517+, INTEL Atom C2538 @ 2.4 GHz, 4 cores, 8 GB of memory, DSM 6.2.4

Thanks for any and all help.

Good News! I think......
I restarted, in HOST mode and now I can get the server to respond to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9002!
But, my sic does not show up. Screenshot below:

[Ecoli-557]

I can now see all of music (it was a permission issue).
However, in the Home screen my player (Transporter) does not show up. If I go into App Gallery which brings up Logitech's Squeezebox site, I can select REMOTE CONTROL and I now have control but only of my Pandora account. My music library does not show.
Once I hit the 'X' on the Squeezebox website which brings me back to the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9002 LMS HOME page, my Transporter still does not show.
Another thing, my music only shows under 'Music Folder' and not under 'My Music' - why? I would prefer to have it show under 'My Music'.
Lastly (hopefully), my Pandora account does not show under 'My Apps' - I suspect it is becaise my player also does not show.

I am almost done and just need a bit more guidance.

Now that the permissions issue is fixed you should run a full scan in LMS and then, if the scan works, you should see the music under "My Music".
You can initiate the scan from the first page in Settings in the regular "Default" web interface.

Thanks Paul, that did the deed for the library. Still getting used to the LMS.
Any idea on why my player does not show up in the LMS?

[Ecoli-557]

Still working with it and the player showed up after I pulled the plug and confirmed the network info.
I now can get to my music library via a Surface tablet (preferred) all streamed from my Synology DS1517+ - Yay!
Now to figure out why I can not get Pandora to show up in 'My Apps'.
I appreciate everyone's help and time!

[Jaca]

Glad you sorted now!
Ref Pandora maybe try to activate it on mysqueezebox.com .. I don't use it so its wild guess really

Thats the part I am not getting, it IS enabled on Logitechs site....... do not understand.

[Ecoli-557]

In any case, a Synology DS1517+ does indeed work so it can be added to the list of confirmed devices!

Have you enabled mysqueezebox.com integration in the mysqueezebox.com tab of LMS?

Did enable Pandora from the plug-ins and that was it.

Nothing dumb about asking questions and learning mate. Well done for the perseverance and getting it up and working

Just reporting a successful transition to LMS on Synology DSM920+. A few permission issues which were quickly resolved. Tested out the LMS update methodology too. Thanks to all who developed this application.

Playlists save error

Not exactly sure where to post this… apologies if my aim is off.
Running Logitech Media Server 8.2.1 via Docker on a Synology DSM 7.x box.
All works fine, but although it can find playlists it can’t seem to save them or update one after loading/removing a song. No errors other than this within LMS:[22-09-12 08:40:40.4446] Slim::Formats::Playlists::Base::_filehandleFromNam eOrString (86) Error: Could’t open /playlist/60’s.m3u for writing.

I realize it’s a permissions issue, I just don’t know where/how to fix.
Within Docker the PUID is assigned to an admin account. PGID 100. The playlists volume mount path is rw.
Within DSM shared folder - Permmision for the mapped user is rw, the admin group as well, http has no access and users are RO. There are no NFS permissions set for the volume.
I’m missing something, but no idea what. Any nudge in the right direction much appreciated!
