A docker-compose for every Channels-related extension -- suitable for Portainer-Stacks!

EDITS:

  • Added FileBot, MediaInfo, and MLB.tv-for-Channels (2024.02.24)
  • Updated pluto-for-channels (joagomez) - GitHub move, PLUTO_CODE env var (2024.02.24)

ORIGINAL POST:

I've just updated my docker-compose examples, in OliveTin-for-Channels, for the many excellent container projects that are suitable for use with Channels -- via the WebUI for Docker -- Portainer. I thought I'd post them here as well, for anyone not using OliveTin yet. :slight_smile:

The idea with the way these yamls are structured, is that you shouldn't need to do ANY editing of the yaml itself, all installation specific values should be set via the environment variables in that section of Portainer-Stacks:

Great work, thanks for this.
MLB tv is another one

This is outstanding, thank you!

Great -- I'll add it. I also realized I should include the MediaInfo and FileBot containers, as installing them via container allows them to be used from anywhere on your LAN or Tailnet without needing to install them on every network node.

Great job!
Of course now that you publish it, things change. Pluto for Channels - #606 by joagomez
Anyway to update some files without updating the OliveTin-for-Channels docker image?
Maybe pulling updated files like Channels DVR does when you update pre/release versions.

I've added FileBot, MediaInfo and MLB.tv-for-Channels to the list in the first post. The advantage of having FileBot and MediaInfo containerized is that you can access them from any system on your LAN or Tailnet. Bind mount a directory or Docker Volume, so that you'll have access to all of your Channels-related media.

They'll look something like this via your browser:

FileBot:

MediaInfo:

Has anyone got filebot to run under Synology DSM 7? I'm using the compose example in olive-tin but I'm getting a permission error when it is launching.

Looking at the docs in GitHub, they suggest setting the USER_ID and GROUP_ID environment variables.
https://github.com/jlesage/docker-filebot?tab=readme-ov-file#usergroup-ids

So I modified my compose to add USER_ID and GROUP_ID and set the those to 1026 and 100 respectively (for my particular case).

environment:
  - USER_ID=${USER_ID}
  - GROUP_ID=${GROUP_ID}
  - DARK_MODE=${DARK_MODE}

Ok, now it gets past the permission denied error in the log file.
However now it is getting errors loading the 'OpenboxTheme'.

A little searching and I found this thread that discusses the exact problem I'm having.
https://github.com/jlesage/docker-filebot/issues/84
In that thread it was suggested to try mapping /config in the filebot compose to /tmp/filebot. Now filebot launches without error and I'm able to access the web GUI! Clearly there is a permissions issue but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Mapping /config to /tmp is not a fix because on a NAS reboot the /tmp directory gets cleared.

Anyone have any ideas about what is going on with the Openbox unable to load themes?

Maybe try mapping /config to a Docker-Volume instead of doing a directory binding. Something like:

    volumes:
      - filebot:/config:rw # Add the parent directory on your Docker host you'd like to use
      - ${DVR_SHARE}:/storage:rw # This can either be a Docker volume or a host directory that's connected via Samba or NFS to your Channels DVR network share.
volumes: # use this section if you've setup a docker volume named channels-dvr, with CIFS or NFS, to bind to /storage inside the container
  filebot:
    name: ${HOST_VOLUME}
HOST_VOLUME=filebot_config
DVR_SHARE=/mnt/dvr

Thanks for that @bnhf! That did the trick. For anyone running filebot on Synology, here is my working configuration.
Compose:

Environment:
image

To summarize for Synology docker compose folks, take the example compose from olive-tin and add the USER_ID and GROUP_ID environment variables. Also map /config to a Docker-Volume instead of doing a directory binding.

Has anyone tried the UK one?

That's mostly for people in/from the UK. You need to have a UK "TV license", and if you were using it from the US you'd need to have a residential Tailscale Exit Node or similar in the UK. Some commercial VPNs might work, but most are blocked to prevent geo-relocation.

Have you tried using the /volume1/docker shared folder directory that Synology creates when you install the Docker package?

I find that's easier.

/volume1/docker/filebot_config:/config:rw
and you don't need to specify the :rw (Read/Write), since that is the default.

I discovered this when I first started using docker for Channels DVR and it wouldn't work using other shared folders. Channels DVR on docker - #38 by chDVRuser

That's interesting. At some point Synology changed the name from Docker to Container Manager which I think I installed from Package Center. Container Manager is built by Docker Inc. Anyway it never created a /docker directory.

Installing Portainer:

Here's my recommended command line to install Portainer, which works for Linux and Docker Desktop based installations:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 -p 9443:9443 --name portainer \
    --restart=always \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v portainer_data:/data \
    cr.portainer.io/portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Docker desktop for Windows has a Portainer extension.
