Emby

Emby docker container

What is Emby?

Emby Server automatically streams (and converts, if needed) your media on-the-fly to play on any device.

How to use this image

When started the emby web inteface will listen on port 8096 in the container.

Hosting a Emby instance

sudo docker run -it --name emby -e TZ=EST5EDT -p 8096:8096 -p 8920:8920 \
            -p 7359:7359/udp -p 1900:1900/udp -d dperson/emby

OR use local storage:

sudo docker run -it --name emby -e TZ=EST5EDT -p 8096:8096 -p 8920:8920 \
            -p 7359:7359/udp -p 1900:1900/udp \
            -v /path/to/directory:/config \
            -v /path/to/media:/media -d dperson/emby

Configuration

sudo docker run -it --rm dperson/emby -h

Usage: emby.sh [-opt] [command]
Options (fields in '[]' are optional, '<>' are required):
    -h          This help
    -t ""       Configure timezone
                possible arg: "[timezone]" - zoneinfo timezone for container

The 'command' (if provided and valid) will be run instead of emby

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

TZ - As above, configure the zoneinfo timezone, IE EST5EDT
USERID - Set the UID for the app user
GROUPID - Set the GID for the app user

Examples

Any of the commands can be run at creation with docker run or later with docker exec -it emby emby.sh (as of version 1.3 of docker).

Setting the Timezone

sudo docker run -it --name emby -p 8096:8096 -p 8920:8920 -p 7359:7359/udp \
            -p 1900:1900/udp -d dperson/emby -t EST5EDT

OR using environment variables

sudo docker run -it --name emby -e TZ=EST5EDT -p 8096:8096 -p 8920:8920 \
            -p 7359:7359/udp -p 1900:1900/udp -d dperson/emby

Will get you the same settings as

sudo docker run -it --name emby -p 8096:8096 -p 8920:8920 -p 7359:7359/udp \
            -p 1900:1900/udp -d dperson/emby
sudo docker exec -it emby emby.sh -t EST5EDT ls -AlF /etc/localtime
sudo docker restart emby
