The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring :-
- regular and timely application updates
- easy user mappings (PGID, PUID)
- custom base image with s6 overlay
- weekly base OS updates with common layers across the entire LinuxServer.io ecosystem to minimise space usage, down time and bandwidth
- regular security updates
Find us at:
- Discord - realtime support / chat with the community and the team.
- IRC - on freenode at
#linuxserver.io. Our primary support channel is Discord. - Blog - all the things you can do with our containers including How-To guides, opinions and much more!
- Podcast - on hiatus. Coming back soon (late 2018).
PSA: Changes are happening
From August 2018 onwards, Linuxserver are in the midst of switching to a new CI platform which will enable us to build and release multiple architectures under a single repo. To this end, existing images for arm64 and armhf builds are being deprecated. They are replaced by a manifest file in each container which automatically pulls the correct image for your architecture. You'll also be able to pull based on a specific architecture tag.
TLDR: Multi-arch support is changing from multiple repos to one repo per container image.
linuxserver/diskover
Diskover is a file system crawler, disk space usage, file search engine and file system analytics powered by Elasticsearch
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.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| X86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v6-latest |

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.

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=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
Application Setup
- Once running the URL will be
http://<host-ip>/. - Basics are, edit the
diskover.cfgfile to alter any configurations including tagging, threads, etc.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it diskover /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f diskover - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' diskover
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/diskover
