jpiron/couchpotato repository overview

⁠Docker CouchPotato

Dockerfile to set up CouchPotato⁠

⁠Repository

Sources are here⁠.

⁠Run

docker pull jpiron/couchpotato
docker run jpiron/couchpotato

However, you're more likely to run the container with following:

docker run -d --restart=always --name couchpotato \
-p 5050:5050 \
--user $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
-e TZ=$(cat /etc/timezone) \
-v "${HOME}/.couchpotato":/couchpotato/datadir \
-v "${HOME}/movies":/movies \
jpiron/couchpotato

⁠Parameters

• user: Docker run parameter to set the user/group to run the container with;
• TZ: the timzeone to run the container with;
• /couchpotato/datadir: if you want (and you should) CouchPotato data directory to be hold in a local directory. If the directory contains a settings.conf file it will be used to configure CouchPotato.
• /movies: provide CouchPotato with an access to your movies directory.

⁠Caveats

The Dockerfile creates a couchpotato user and makes it the owner of the couchpotato installation folder. When using the user parameter, the container is ran with a different user which is not the owner of the couchpotato installation folder. As a result, in-software git auto-updates won't work with the user parameter. To perform updates you will have to pull (or build) the latest image version and run it.
