  • Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!

linuxserver/

Provide a short, concise description of the application. No more than two SHORT paragraphs. Link to sources where possible and include an image illustrating your point if necessary. Point users to the original applications website, as that's the best place to get support - not here.

Our Plex container has immaculate docs so follow that if in doubt for layout.

Usage

docker create \
  --name=<container-name> \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
  -p 1234:1234 \
  linuxserver/<container-name>

Parameters

  • -p 1234 - the port(s)
  • -v /config - explain what lives here
  • -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
  • -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it <container-name> /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data 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 the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
