Overview

Docker container containing the media server ReadyMedia (previously MiniDLNA).

Usage

You can start the container like this:

docker volume create readymediacache
docker run --restart=unless-stopped -d --name=readymedia1 --net=host  -v /my/video/path:/media -v readymediacache:/cache -e VIDEO_DIR1=/media/my_video_files mytracks/readymedia

The container needs a volume to cache some data. In the example above a Docker volume is used for that. You can also map the cache to some host folder.

You can configure the container using the following environment variables:

Environment Variable	Description	Default Value
FRIENDLY_NAME	The user visible name of this instance.	My ReadyMedia Server
TCP_PORT	The TCP port used by the service.	8200
SERIAL	An arbitrary number for this instance.	1234567890
VIDEO_DIR[1-9]	Path to a directory containing video files
AUDIO_DIR[1-9]	Path to a directory containing audio files
PICTURES_DIR[1-9]	Path to a directory containing picture files

Supported Architectures

The following Docker architectures are supported: linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7 and linux/amd64

  name: readymedia
  labels:
    app: readymedia

  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: readymedia
  template:

      containers:
      - name: readymedia
        image: mytracks/readymedia
        env:
        - name: VIDEO_DIR1
          value: /media/my_video_files
        volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: /media
          name: media
        - mountPath: /cache
          name: cache
      volumes:
      - name: media
        hostPath:
          path: /volumes/HD/media

        hostPath:
          path: /volumes/HD/readymediacache
          type: Directory

Notes:

• You need to set hostNetwork: true. If you know a better solution please let me know.
