Run

Run via Docker CLI client

To run the CouchPotato container you can execute:

docker run --name couchpotato -v <datadir path>:/datadir -v <media path>:/media -p 5050:5050 couchpotato/couchpotato

Open a browser and point it to http://my-docker-host:5050

Run via Docker Compose

You can also run the CouchPotato container by using Docker Compose.

If you've cloned the git repository you can build and run the Docker container locally (without the Docker Hub):

docker-compose up -d

If you want to use the Docker Hub image within your existing Docker Compose file you can use the following YAML snippet:

couchpotato:
    image: "couchpotato/couchpotato"
    container_name: "couchpotato"
    volumes:
        - "<datadir path>:/datadir"
        - "<media path>:/media"
    ports:
        - "5050:5050"
    restart: always

Configuration

Volumes

Please mount the following volumes inside your CouchPotato container:

/datadir: Holds all the CouchPotato data files (e.g. config, postProcessing)
/media: Directory for TV shows

Configuration file

By default the CouchPotato configuration is located on /datadir/config.ini. If you want to change this you've to set the CONFIG environment variable, for example:

CONFIG=/datadir/couchpotato.ini

CouchPotato Version

By default the latest CouchPotato version will be used. This is achieved by pointing at the master tree of the CouchPotato git repository. If you want a different version you've set the VERSION environment variable to a valid git branch or tag, for example:

VERSION=devel

Please note that VERSION=master always points to the latest stable version, while VERSION=devel points to the bleeding-edge version of CouchPotato.

CouchPotato will automatically be updated and switched to your defined version when you restart your container.

UID and GID

By default CouchPotato runs with user ID and group ID 666. If you want to run CouchPotato with different ID's you've to set the UID and/or GID environment variables, for example:

UID=1234
GID=1234
