linuxserver/davos

Davos is an FTP automation tool that periodically scans given host locations for new files. It can be configured for various purposes, including listening for specific files to appear in the host location, ready for it to download and then move, if required. It also supports completion notifications as well as downstream API calls, to further the workflow.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/davos should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=davos \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path to downloads folder>:/download \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/davos

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  davos:
    image: linuxserver/davos
    container_name: davos
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <path to downloads folder>:/download
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
-p 8080	This is the default port that davos runs under
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-v /config	davos's config location. This is where it stores its database file and logs.
-v /download	davos's file download location

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

 

Application Setup

The application does not require any set up other than starting the docker container. Further documentation can be found on the davos GitHub repository page.

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it davos /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f davos
• container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' davos
• image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/davos

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Run/Create

• Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/davos
• Stop the running container: docker stop davos
• Delete the container: docker rm davos
• Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• Start the new container: docker start davos
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

• Update all images: docker-compose pull
  • or update a single image: docker-compose pull davos
• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d davos
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Watchtower auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)

• Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:

  docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  containrrr/watchtower \
  --run-once davos
  

Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.

• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-davos.git
cd docker-davos
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t linuxserver/davos:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
