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/sickgear

SickGear provides management of TV shows and/or Anime, it detects new episodes, links downloader apps, and more..

For more information on SickGear visit their website and check it out: https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear

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.

Simply pulling linuxserver/sickgear 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	arm32v6-latest

Usage

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

docker

docker create \
  --name=sickgear \
  -e PUID=1001 \
  -e PGID=1001 \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path to data>:/tv \
  -v <path to data>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/sickgear

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  sickgear:
    image: linuxserver/sickgear
    container_name: sickgear
    environment:
      - PUID=1001
      - PGID=1001
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <path to data>:/tv
      - <path to data>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
    mem_limit: 4096m
    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 8081`	will map the container's port 8081 to port 8081 on the host
`-e PUID=1001`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1001`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-v /config`	this will store any uploaded data on the docker host
`-v /tv`	where you store your tv shows
`-v /downloads`	your downloads folder for post processing (must not be donwload in progress)

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

Setting up the application

Access the webui at <your-ip>:8081, for more information check out SickGear.

Migration

Non linuxserver.io containers are known to have the following configuration differences and may need SickGear or docker changes to migrate an existing setup

The post processing directory which is volume mounted as downloads within this container may be incoming in other versions.
The permissions environmental variables which are defined as PGID and PUID within this container may have been APP_UID and APP_UID in other versions.
The configuration file directory which is volume mounted as config within this container may be set as the environmetal variable APP_DATA in other versions.
The cache directory which is set in config.ini may be configured as a fixed path cache_dir = /data/cache. Symptoms of this issue include port usage problems and a failure to start the web server log entries. Whilst the container is stopped alter this directive to cache_dir = cache which will allow SickGear to look for the folder relative to the volume mounted /config directory.

It is recommended that a clean install be completed, rather than a migration, however if migration is necessary:

start a new instance of this image
compare and align SickGear version numbers bewteen old and new. Ideally they should match but at a minumum the old vesion should be a lower version number to allow SickGear itself to try and migrate
stop both containers
notice the configuration difference and migrate copies of the old settings into the new app
start the new container and test

Support Info

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

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/sickgear
Stop the running container: docker stop sickgear
Delete the container: docker rm sickgear
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 sickgear
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

Update the image: docker-compose pull linuxserver/sickgear
Let compose update containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
