That's not good :-(.

I'll need to either update that module, or move to a more up to date
base image. Which will require me to compile all those dependencies again...

Please check permissions on the Docker folder too.

I'm using Docker a lot on Synology DSM 6.2 as well. I have had a lot of issues trying to get containers to run through the UI, particularly with permission issues.

So I reverted to the Docker command line (shell) and found it works a lot better for getting containers going initially. Then i use the GUI. I also recommend installing a Docker container for Portainer (a more advanced GUI for Docker). Note: Portainer uses port 9000 as well so until one is fully comfortable with Docker and port numbering, maybe best to hold off initially!


Here's the steps I used (but I can't guarantee they'll work for you as I haven't moved to LMS Docker yet... but with the issues with PERL, LMS 8.1 and Synology DSM 7 at the moment, I would say you'll have a lot more people looking to find similar solutions):

1. Create a user account on your DSM for Docker. (Details at https://mariushosting.com/synology-h...d-gid-groupid/). Make note of the "PUID" and "PGID" and replace the number values (1000) with the numbers noted on the values "-e PUID=**** " and "-e PGID=**** " down below.
2. Enable SSH in Synology (see https://www.synology.com/en-global/k...via_SSH_Telnet)
3. Run Putty (available at www.putty.org)
4. connect to the IP of your Synology
5. Login using your Synology DSM username and password
6. type "sudo su" and enter your password again.
7. Run the following command to build your docker image (remember to replace [ ] below with your paths:

sudo docker run \
--name logitech-media-server \
--restart=unless-stopped \
--net=host \
-v "/volume2/docker/squeezebox/config":"/config":rw \
-v "/volume1/Music/Music":"/music":ro \
-v "/volume1/Music/Playlists":"/playlist":rw \
-v "/etc/localtime":"/etc/localtime":ro \
-p 9000:9000/tcp \
-p 9090:9090/tcp \
-p 3483:3483/tcp \
-p 3483:3483/udp \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-e PGID=65537 \
-e PUID=1029 \
lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver:8.2.0-dev


PS: If your timezone is different than above, replace with "Country/City"
PPS: If the line in bold above comes up with an error, you can specify a particular build (these are listed at https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/lm...g=last_updated)
Eg: "lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver:8.2.0-dev" is the current latest

Fingers crossed, hope this helps. Haven't migrated over to LMS on Docker yet but will keep you posted if I made modifications to the above.

Update 30/12/2020: tested all the above successfully... have migrated over from Synology package to Docker one. Was too complicated to migrate over settings (was getting too many errors) so went for a fresh build. Just remember to give your docker user account (step 1) access to your music library and playlist (can be done easily in Synology File Station)

Update 31/12/2020
Port mappings are not required if you're using the "--net=host " option shown above.
If you want to change the default port "9000", you can add the following line to the config above:
-e HTTP_PORT=9002 \ (example using port 9002)

LMSCommunity 8.1.0 stable also crashed on my Synology 216+:

The permissions seems to be right:


However the LMS folder is empty, so it seems LMS is crashing before it has a chance to generate a server.log?

Exactly I do have the same understanding. It runs only for a second or 2

I think I will try to follow the post of Roscullen...

Nice one! Thanks.

I will try it this way next time as also had some (mostly permissions) issues with various docker images. Weirdly lmscommunity image went smooth for me with just GUI, but maybe I've sorted permissions in past and don't remember :P

Anyway thanks for command line install tutorial!

I've just switched to using the 8.1 container version of LMS and my next project is to try and get some basic parametric eq working using sox. As I understand it this will require some additions to the custom-convert.conf file with the appropriate command lines. However, I'm not sure where this file should be created. The convert.conf file says...

# If you wish to create custom transcoding entries that won't be overwritten
# by a new release of Logitech Media Server, create a custom-convert.conf file in the
# Logitech Media Server root directory, or the root of the Plugins directory.

If the above is still valid then I could either....

1) reference a file on the host by adding an option to the docker run command such as -v /path/to/custom-convert.conf:/lms/custom-convert.conf
2) create a file in the host directory that is the "root of the Plugins directory" - but which dir is this - cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins or prefs/plugin?

Is there a "preferred" method?

Thanks for all the work that has been put in to keep LMS going and improving.

My custom-convert.conf is in the same folder as convert.conf.
In my case etc/squeezeboxserver.

Not sure if it is of any use but this docker image seems to work fine:

Please report back. Regarding the port mappings I would assume those are obsolete when you use host mode. Haven't confirmed though.

[sparkyuk]

Confirmed, port mappings are not required if you are using host network mode. Here's my docker-compose.yml file for LMS and musicip...

      - /docker/lms/volumes/custom-convert.conf:/lms/custom-convert.conf
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      # use timezone of host
      - PUID=1000
