MiniDLNA is a simple media server software.
This image is based on Alpine Linux.
You need --net=host as you want to have the stuff discoverable on the host network...
Also see the run.sh shell script to see a very complete example
The example below is a basic run command with one mandatory mapping to a video directory
docker run -d \
--net=host \
--name MiniDLNA \
-v "${HOME}/Movies:/videos" \
ivonet/minidlnaIf you want to add media_dir entries for more directories to be scanned by minidlna you can add the following.
docker run \
-d \
--name IvoNetDLNA \
--net=host \
-v "/Volumes/video/Movies/Abduction.2019:/videos" \
-e MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR_DOWNLOADS="V,/downloads" \
-v "/Volumes/downloads:/downloads" \
-e MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR_MUSIC="A,/music" \
-v "${HOME}/Music:/music" \
-e MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR_PICTURES="P,/pics" \
-v "${HOME}/Pictures:/pics" \
-v "$(pwd)/.data:/var/lib/minidlna" \
ivonet/minidlna
In the original config for minidlna you can see the folowing explanation for getting more folders scanned
# set this to the directory you want scanned.
# * if you want multiple directories, you can have multiple media_dir= lines
# * if you want to restrict a media_dir to specific content types, you
# can prepend the types, followed by a comma, to the directory:
# + "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/home/jmaggard/Music)
# + "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/home/jmaggard/Videos)
# + "P" for images (eg. media_dir=P,/home/jmaggard/Pictures)
# + "PV" for pictures and video (eg. media_dir=PV,/home/jmaggard/digital_camera)I translated this by allowing for multiple combinations of:
-e MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR_DOWNLOADS="V,/downloads" \
-v "/Volumes/downloads:/downloads" as long as the environment variable starts with MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR_ it will get a new entry in the config file according to the original description. It also needs a volume mapping of course so therefore the combination -e/-v
Other properties can also be overridden like:
-e MINIDLNA_FRIENDLY_NAME="FooBarBaz DLNA" \
-e MINIDLNA_NOTIFY_INTERVAL=10 \
-v "$(pwd)/.data:/minidlna" MINIDLNA_FRIENDLY_NAMEwill broadcast a new friendly name of your choosing (default: IvoNet DLNA)MINIDLNA_NOTIFY_INTERVALwill set the notify interval in seconds (default: 30)/minidlnais the volume where minidlna stores its data. You can chose to mount that to your disk or other volume to persist it between containers
Have fun.
