Project One-Click: All-in-One Installations of Docker Extensions and CDVR Custom Channels

[Bunn]

I installed container station on the qnap nas and then installed portainer through that using docker compose which is the only thing that container station would accept. I used chatgpt to translate docker commands into docker compose. Do you think this is what's wrong? Should i install docker onto the nas through an installation download somewhere instead?

Here is my portainer container list:

Here is my portainer network list:

By changing the folder "dvr" to "DVR," I think was able to get olivetin to find the directory where my CDVR recordings are located. Here is what the health check says:

Better, but you still need to figure out where your OliveTin executables are located for the LOGS_SHARE variable. We can deal with that next though.

I see your Docker gateway address is non-standard on the QNAP:

So try setting the IP address for your Portainer host to 10.0.3.1

Thanks but it still gives the error of not being able to connect:

Thanks for checking into this for me. Any other ideas? Should I just start all over with a docker installation that is not from the qnap store?

[skipt]

By changing the folder "dvr" to "DVR," I think was able to get olivetin to find the directory where my CDVR recordings are located.

I too have been having less than complete success getting things to work, and the difficulties have to do with case sensitivity of network shares. I haven't yet solved everything for my setup but I have found that in some environments case sensitivity can be an issue. I'm not an expert but simply provide some references I have found that might suggest this can be a real issue in some cases (no pun intended).

If you want to try it and have Synology Container Manager installed you can use this docker compose to create the container. First, create this directory with Synology File Manager that will hold the Channels DVR executables /volume1/docker/channels-dvr-tve Make a backup of your Synology package DVR and stop the Synology package. Then modify this compose in the three places it says MODIFY to fit your install and run the compose. You will just need to restore from a backup and everything wil…

Please help with dumb Xfinity

Just wanted to pass on a "trick" I learned. If you want to keep your dvr path the same as it was in the Synology package install, just change the volume mapping so the path in the container is the same as the host path. - "/volume1/ChannelsDVR:/volume1/ChannelsDVR" # MODIFY Channels DVR recording directory You can also use this trick if you have import directories defined and want to keep the path the same. - "/volume1/pathto/TV:/volume1/pathto/TV" # …

P.S. The very first docker container I used was for Channels DVR

I think that's a great idea. It could be nice for newbies, but also could be slick for people wanting to quickly spin-up additional CDVR servers for production or experimentation.

Do you want to tackle creating one for a Channels DVR docker container?

And... it's done... I think. I could use a couple of testers on this one, given that I don't have Intel Quick Sync hardware transcoding readily available atm, so I can't test that option (mostly just to confirm the stack deploys). Plus, there are lots of ways people handle their CDVR recordings.

@chDVRuser, if you could please give this twirl on the dance floor, and anybody else that's up for it. The stack and container name are both channels-dvr, so if you want to try this out, both those names need to be available in Docker/Portainer. In a near future update, I'll make this so that those names can have a digit appended to them, but that doesn't easily fit my current scheme.

It's pushed as bnhf/olivetin:latest, and bnhf/olivetin:2024.09.14:

EDIT: "Sub-directory will be filebot." changed to "Sub-directory will be channels-dvr."

[chDVRuser]

Wow, that was quick!

Before I can test it, I'll have to bring down one of my containers, rename it and the host directory since they're both channels-dvr.

Questions;

1. For the Channels DVR executables/log directory, Will this create that directory on a Synology NAS, or should the user create that first {HOST_DIR}/channels-dvr (/volume1/docker/channels-dvr). On a Synology, the /volume1/docker shared folder is created when the user installs the Docker or Container Manager Synology Package.
2. For the Channels DVR recording directory, Will this create that shared folder (directory) on a Synology NAS, or should the user create that first {DVR_SHARE} (/volume1/ChDVRpoc)

Since I only use OliveTin for channel lineup change notifications, I haven't set it up to use this Project One-Click, so it may be tomorrow before I can get that setup and trial this.

I forgot about that little gotcha on Synology. Unfortunately I can't create directories on the host from inside the OliveTin container (except on paths already bound to OliveTin). But, I could add another "confirmation" check box reminding Synology users of the need to do this before clicking "Start".

Your input, and testing, are much appreciated!

You also might want to add notes that users running Synology Container Manager, Windows and Mac Docker Desktop need to use host NETWORK_MODE, but Windows and Mac Docker Desktop don't support that, so they're SOL.

[gfhartzell]

Good news it looks like windows users might not be locked out from 4.34 Docker release notes:

Host networking is supported on Docker Desktop version 4.34 and later. To enable this feature:

Sign in to your Docker account in Docker Desktop.
Navigate to Settings.
Under the Resources tab, select Network.
Check the Enable host networking option.
Select Apply and restart.
This feature works in both directions. This means you can access a server that is running in a container from your host and you can access servers running on your host from any container that is started with host networking enabled. TCP as well as UDP are supported as communication protocols.

Examples
The following command starts netcat in a container that listens on port 8000:



 docker run --rm -it --net=host nicolaka/netshoot nc -lkv 0.0.0.0 8000
Port 8000 will then be available on the host and you can connect to it with the following command from another terminal:


 nc localhost 8000

[chDVRuser]

Well the good news is it created a Channels DVR container!
The bad news is the compose sent didn't enable host mode networking or hardware transcoding.
Also, when it creates the Channels DVR container and you go into the Channels DVR web admin UI, you need to know where your recording directory is mapped to in the container. (I figured it out, but other users will be stumped). The way you set it up, it's /shares/DVR and capitalization matters.

Would be nice if you could display something like this when the action completes.

A new stack, named channels-dvr has been created in Portainer at http://{PORTAINER_HOST}:9000
You can now access your new Channels DVR container at http://{PORTAINER_HOST}:{HOST_PORT}
Setup Channels DVR to use this container directory /shares/DVR (case sensitive) for storing recordings, since that is mapped to the host directory {DVR_SHARE} you specified.

[bnhf]

@chDVRuser

The bad news is the compose sent didn't enable host mode networking or hardware transcoding.

Forgot to update the script that does that in the main repo -- so it's fixed (but haven't built a new container just yet) -- thanks.

@chDVRuser

Also, when it creates the Channels DVR container and you go into the Channels DVR web admin UI, you need to know where your recording directory is mapped to in the container. (I figured it out, but other users will be stumped). The way you set it up, it's /shares/DVR and capitalization matters.

I'm a bit less sure of how to deal with this, though adding feedback in standard output is a good suggestion. /shares/DVR is a directory inside the container, and it's as designated by the Channels devs. Here's their recommended compose from Docker Hub:

 channels-dvr:
  image: fancybits/channels-dvr:latest
  container_name: channels-dvr
  network_mode: host
  ports:
    - "8089:8089"
  restart: unless-stopped
  devices:
    - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
  volumes:
    - /mnt/disk/dvr/config:/channels-dvr
    - /mnt/disk/dvr/recordings:/shares/DVR

Have you been doing it a different way with the CDVR containers you've been running? It's possible that directory name has no significance, and could be pretty much anything -- but I don't know that for sure.

[chDVRuser]

@bnhf

Have you been doing it a different way with the CDVR containers you've been running? It's possible that directory name has no significance, and could be pretty much anything -- but I don't know that for sure.

For the :/shares/DVR directory, it can be any valid linux path in the container. When the container is created, it will create that path in the container. You have to specify what it is anyway in the Channels DVR setup.
I like this (although it might not work on Windows)

Please help with dumb Xfinity

Just wanted to pass on a "trick" I learned. If you want to keep your dvr path the same as it was in the Synology package install, just change the volume mapping so the path in the container is the same as the host path. - "/volume1/ChannelsDVR:/volume1/ChannelsDVR" # MODIFY Channels DVR recording directory You can also use this trick if you have import directories defined and want to keep the path the same. - "/volume1/pathto/TV:/volume1/pathto/TV" # …

And the issue with ports.
If Channels DVR container is using host network mode, it needs CHANNELS_PORT to change the port Channels DVR uses within the container, since that is the port exposed to the host.
If Channels DVR container is using bridge network mode, it needs just HOST_PORT which is port mapped to the Channels DVR container port 8089.

[chDVRuser]

@bnhf

Here's their recommended compose from Docker Hub:

 channels-dvr:
  image: fancybits/channels-dvr:latest
  container_name: channels-dvr
  network_mode: host
  ports:
    - "8089:8089"
  restart: unless-stopped
  devices:
    - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
  volumes:
    - /mnt/disk/dvr/config:/channels-dvr
    - /mnt/disk/dvr/recordings:/shares/DVR

Using network_mode: host negates the need to map ports (not valid in host mode)

  ports:
    - "8089:8089"

And that compose wouldn't work if the user already had something using port 8089 since the compose doesn't include this

    environment:
      - CHANNELS_PORT=8190                               # MODIFY the host port number to use

This works (appears the port mapping is ignored since host mode was specified)

then again I'm still fighting to get OliveTin fully functional, using Docker Desktop and I have trouble getting Windows and Linux playing nicely. Then again it's probably me

And finally, here is what I would want to use, making the path inside the container the same as on the host for the DVR directory. Added DVR_CONTAINER_DIRECTORY

@chDVRuser

But then I'm not your typical Project One-Click user

I believe we're in sync on the points you've made in your last few posts. I'll make some changes in the morning, and push a new version at some point tomorrow.

I'm planning to do the following:

• Include the fix for uncommenting devices:, - /dev/dri:/dev/dri, and network_mode: host as required.

• Comment out ports: and - ${HOST_PORT}:${CHANNELS_PORT} when network_mode: host is being used to avoid confusion.

• Make the container-side folder an environment variable in - ${DVR_SHARE}:/shares/DVR.

• Add some additional comments in the descriptions of several fields in the WebUI, and to standard output.

Hopefully that will cover what's been identified as areas for improvement.
