cproensa/nicotine-docker repository overview

⁠Nicotine-plus + noVNC Docker Container

⁠GitHub repository:

https://github.com/cproensa/nicotine-docker⁠

This build is based on realies/soulseek-docker⁠, adapted to run Nicotine-plus⁠.

His documentation has more details and most of those are also applicable here.

⁠Tags

Several images may be available, tagged as:

  • latest built with the latest stable release
  • testing built with the latest development release (nightly build .deb package at the time)
  • Specific version, where availbale. For example, 3.2.8

⁠Setup

  1. You will need to map port 6080 on the machine (or any other port) to port 6080 on the docker container running this image.
    • If you are using a GUI or webapp (e.g. Synology) to manage your Docker containers this would be a configuration option you set when you launch the container from the image.
    • With the Docker CLI the option is -p 6080:6080.
  2. Optionally you can also map a port on the machine to port 5900 on the docker container to get direct VNC access
  3. You will need to map a port for Nicotine listening port on the Docker container. These ports can be configured from within Nicotine but whatever those ports are, they need to be mapped a) from your router to the machine hosting this docker image and b) from the outside of the docker image to the server within it. See below for more details.
  4. You will probably also want to set up a place on the local disk for Nicotine to work with/download to/etc. While you can of course just point the app at existing folders it is probably wiser to give the app its own siloed off location on disk.

Once that is done you should be able to connect to the machine on port 6080 with a standard web browser through the magic of noVNC. Example: if your docker VM machine has IP 192.168.1.23 you should be able to connect to the Nicotine app running in docker by typing https://192.168.1.23:6080 (or http://192.168.1.23:6080 depending on your machine's security settings) in your browser after launching the container.

⁠Usage

⁠Configuration Parameters
PGID          optional, only works if PUID is set, chown app folders to the specified group id
PUID          optional, only works if PGID is set, chown app folders to the specified user id
UMASK         optional, controls how file permissions are set for newly created files, defaults to 0000
VNCPWD        optional, protect tigervnc with a password, none will be required if this is not set
TZ            optional, set the local time zone, for example:
                  Europe/Paris
                  Asia/Macao
                  America/Vancouver
                  ...other values available in /usr/share/zoneinfo
