Systems - Media Server - Install Docker

Docker will be installed.


Install Docker

sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose -y

Add your user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

NOTE: This allows docker to be run without using sudo.

To enable this functionality, log out and log back in; or run:

newgrp docker

Create a Media Directory

mkdir /media

Change ownership of the Media Directory

chown -R 1000:1000 /media

NOTE: The 1000:1000 is usually the first user created on the system.

  • Check the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
    • This should show the user associated with UID 1000 and GID 1000.
  • Alternatively, check which UID and GID is associated with 1000:1000 by running:
    id 1000

Create an environment file

docker-media.env
# Main path for all MEDIA apps:
MEDIAPATH=/media/
 
# Global Variables
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=Europe/London

NOTE: Ensure the UID and GID point to the same user as before.
