Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest 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 | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
| arm64 | ❌ | |
| armhf | ❌ |
Application Setup
The application can be accessed at:
Security
Warning
Do not put this on the Internet if you do not know what you are doing.
By default this container has no authentication and the optional environment variables CUSTOM_USER and PASSWORD to enable basic http auth via the embedded NGINX server should only be used to locally secure the container from unwanted access on a local network. If exposing this to the Internet we recommend putting it behind a reverse proxy, such as SWAG, and ensuring a secure authentication solution is in place. From the web interface a terminal can be launched and it is configured for passwordless sudo, so anyone with access to it can install and run whatever they want along with probing your local network.
Nvidia GPU Support
Nvidia support is not compatible with Alpine based images as Alpine lacks Nvidia drivers
Nvidia support is available by leveraging Zink for OpenGL support. This can be enabled with the following run flags:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| --gpus all | This can be filtered down but for most setups this will pass the one Nvidia GPU on the system |
| --runtime nvidia | Specify the Nvidia runtime which mounts drivers and tools in from the host |
The compose syntax is slightly different for this as you will need to set nvidia as the default runtime:
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker --set-as-default
sudo service docker restart
And to assign the GPU in compose:
services:
webtop:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest
deploy:
resources:
reservations:
devices:
- driver: nvidia
count: 1
capabilities: [compute,video,graphics,utility]
Strict reverse proxies
This image uses a self-signed certificate by default. This naturally means the scheme is https.
If you are using a reverse proxy which validates certificates, you need to disable this check for the container.
Usage
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
Note
Unless a parameter is flaged as 'optional', it is mandatory and a value must be provided.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

services:
suyu:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest
container_name: suyu
security_opt:
- seccomp:unconfined #optional
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Etc/UTC
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/config
ports:
- 3000:3000
- 3001:3001

docker cli (click here for more info)
docker run -d \
--name=suyu \
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined `#optional` \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Etc/UTC \
-p 3000:3000 \
-p 3001:3001 \
-v /path/to/config:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest
Parameters
Containers 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 3000:3000 |
HTTP Suyu desktop gui must be proxied. |
-p 3001:3001 |
HTTPS Suyu desktop gui. |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
-v /config |
Users home directory in the container, stores local files and settings |
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined |
For Docker Engine only, many modern gui apps need this to function on older hosts as syscalls are unknown to Docker. |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable
Will set the environment variable MYVAR based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
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 your_user as below:
id your_user
Example output:
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
-
Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it suyu /bin/bash -
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f suyu -
Container version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' suyu -
Image version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest
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 (noted in the relevant readme.md), 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 Compose
-
Update images:
-
All images:
docker-compose pull -
Single image:
docker-compose pull suyu
-
-
Update containers:
-
All containers:
docker-compose up -d -
Single container:
docker-compose up -d suyu
-
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
-
Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest -
Stop the running container:
docker stop suyu -
Delete the container:
docker rm suyu -
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) -
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
Tip
We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
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-suyu.git
cd docker-suyu
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/suyu:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware and vice versa using lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static
docker run --rm --privileged lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
