Start the container:

docker start sickrage-cytec

Parameters

Introduction

The parameters are split into two parts which are separated via colon. The left side describes the host and the right side the container. For example a port definition looks like this -p external:internal and defines the port mapping from internal (the container) to external (the host). So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080. Accessing http://'host':8080 (e.g. http://192.168.0.10:8080) would then show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

Details

• -p 8081 - http port for the web user interface
• -v /sickrage/config - local path for sickrage config files
• -v /sickrage/data - local path for sickrage data files (cache, database, ...)
• -v /volume1/downloads - the folder where your download client puts the completed TV downloads
• -v /volume1/video - the target folder where the tv series will be placed
• -v /volume1/certificates - the target folder of the SSL/TLS certificate files
• -v /etc/localhost - for timesync - optional
• -e APP_REPO - set it to the SickRage GitHub repository; by default it uses https://github.com/cytec/SickRage.git - optional
• -e APP_BRANCH - set which SickRage GitHub repository branch you want to use, master (default branch) or develop - optional
• -e SET_CONTAINER_TIMEZONE - set it to true if the specified CONTAINER_TIMEZONE should be used - optional
• -e CONTAINER_TIMEZONE - container timezone as found under the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/ - optional
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation - optional
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation - optional

Container Timezone

In the case of the Synology NAS it is not possible to map /etc/localtime for timesync, and for this and similar case set SET_CONTAINER_TIMEZONE to true and specify with CONTAINER_TIMEZONE which timezone should be used. The possible container timezones can be found under the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/.

Examples:

• UTC - this is the default value if no value is set
• Europe/Berlin
• Europe/Vienna
• America/New_York
• ...

Don't use the value localtime because it results into: failed to access '/etc/localtime': Too many levels of symbolic links

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)

Additional

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it sickrage-cytec /bin/bash

Upgrade to the latest version: docker restart sickrage-cytec

To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f sickrage-cytec

---

For Synology NAS users

Login into the DSM Web Management

• Open the Control Panel
• Control Panel > Privilege > Group and create a new one with the name 'docker'
• add the permissions for the directories 'downloads', 'video' and so on
• disallow the permissons to use the applications
• Control Panel > Privilege > User and create a new on with name 'docker' and assign this user to the group 'docker'

Connect with SSH to your NAS

• after sucessful connection change to the root account via

sudo -i

or

sudo su -

for the password use the same one which was used for the SSH authentication.

• create a 'docker' directory on your volume (if such doesn't exist)

mkdir -p /volume1/docker/
chown root:root /volume1/docker/

• create a 'sickrage' directory

cd /volume1/docker
mkdir apps
chown docker:docker apps
cd apps
mkdir -p sickrage/config
mkdir -p sickrage/data
chown -R docker:docker sickrage

• get your Docker User ID and Group ID of your previously created user and group

id docker
uid=1029(docker) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),65539(docker)

• get the Docker image

docker pull technosoft2000/sickrage-cytec

• create a Docker container (take care regarding the user ID and group ID, change timezone and port as needed)

docker create --name=sickrage-cytec --restart=always \
-v /volume1/docker/apps/sickrage/config:/sickrage/config \
-v /volume1/docker/apps/sickrage/data:/sickrage/data \
-v /volume1/downloads:/volume1/downloads \
-v /volume1/video:/volume1/video \
-e SET_CONTAINER_TIMEZONE=true \
-e CONTAINER_TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin \
-e PGID=65539 -e PUID=1029 \
-p 9091:8081 \
technosoft2000/sickrage-cytec

• check if the Docker container was created successfully

docker ps -a

• start the Docker container

docker start sickrage-cytec
