Dockerize Lidarr

Inspired by linuxserver.io

docker create \
    --name lidarr \
    -p 8686:8686 \
    -e PUID=<UID> -e PGID=<GID> \
    -e TZ=<timezone> \ 
    -v </path/to/appdata>:/config \
    -v <path/to/music>:/music \
    -v <path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
    mikafouenski/lidarr

• -p 8989 - the port lidarr webinterface
• -v /config - database and lidarr configs
• -v /music - location of Music library on disk
• -v /etc/localtime for timesync - see Localtime for important information
• -e TZ for timezone information, Europe/Paris - see Localtime for important information
• -e PGID for for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for for UserID - see below for explanation

Docker-compose exemple :

  lidarr:
    image: 'mikafouenski/lidarr'
    container_name: 'lidarr'
    restart: 'unless-stopped'
    environment:
      - PUID=<UID>
      - PGID=<GID>
      - TZ=<timezone>
    volumes:
      - '</path/to/appdata>:/config'
      - '<path/to/downloads>:/downloads'
      - '<path/to/music>:/music'

It is based on debian stretch with S6 overlay.

It is important that you either set -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro or the TZ variable, mono will throw exceptions without one of them set.

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ^TM.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
