'Official' docker container for LMS?

[zordaz]

In the light of the LMS 8.0.0 release: what is the preferred way of working with the official docker image in the opinion of the members here?
I am sort of an 'oldskool guy' which prefer a separate stable (aka 8.0.x) and developent (8.x) branch available, but I understand this impacts available resources of people.

There are tags for "latest" (8.0.1 nightly) or "stable" (8.0.0) available:

Great! Question answered ;-)

Source of Docker Image?

HI,

Is there somewhere I can find the source code of the Docker image? There's no link to a github repository or similar on docker hub.

I'd like to see/edit some of the file like "start-container.sh". i know I can just run the image and look at the files in the container, but it makes it easier to customize if there's a github repository to clone.

Thanks.

Shairtunes2

Hi,

Has anyone gotten Shairtune2 to work when running the LMS docker image? If you managed to get it working so that your devices connected to LMS is visible using Airplay, then please let me know how you did it.
So far I can only get it working by setting "--net host" in the docker run command, and then creating Iptables rules to allow all ports to go to the host IP, which is not ideal.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reminder! Will try to add it.

Finally I've decided to let user set ports. I'll release that soon

Just noticed this thread, I've tried the container on Open Media Vault (OMV) on a HP elitedesk sff through portainer using stacks. I couldn't connect to it. I am going to try some more. But for a while I've been using dlandon/logitechmediaserver for my server needs and it works really well.

I'll give the community version another go tomorrow and see if I can get it running.

Hi Michael,

Just have discovered your docker image and in light of Synology DSM7 compatibility issue with pinkdot package I was going for a test run before I spend any money on RPi..

I've immediately hit a wall with adding (mounting) more then one (different) shared folder to /music..
I have few shared folders I would like to use as "Music folders" but I can only mount one of them as "music" in Synology docker ( I assume in any docker?)
Is it somehow possible? thanks

Not with the default Docker image. You'd either have to build your own,
or try the good, old symlink trick (don't know whether this works!):
create a music folder on the NAS, symlink your various actual music
folders in there, then map it as the music folder to the Docker
container. LMS would only see one single folder, with the various linked
folders in there. Hopefully. Make sure permissions allow browsing the
links from where you created the folder.

Also, you could probably do something like:

    -v "/local/music/dir/1":"/music/dir1":ro \
    -v "/local/music/dir/2":"/music/dir2":ro \
    -v "/local/music/dir/3":"/music/dir3":ro

couldn't you?

Thank you guys!

Andy your suggestion unfortunately didn't work, only "/music/dir1" is mounted where others seems to be ignored. btw I'm using synology visual docker "wizard" rather then code, but I doubt that makes any difference.

I will try Michael's suggestion with symlink trick .. but slightly concerned that would mess up library views based on paths.. hmm maybe not.
THanks!

Thanks again Michael!

Symlink trick worked and generally whole docker LMS works great..

Am I right assuming that in order to update I can simply download latest image and point it to same config folder as current version? then just turn old container off and turn latest on?

Yes, that's the idea.

Ok, it's done: an "official" Docker image now is available on Docker hub:

https://hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver

Just dropping in to say very very many thanks for this and I'll be running this when I next have a moment to pause my life.
