Rygel DLNA/uPNP server docker image

Unofficial docker image for Rygel DLNA/uPNP server docker image. Forked from sameersbn/docker-rygel, but since he uses his own ubuntu docker image, I wanted this to be a more generic image.

There are many DLNA/UPnP devices on the market, such as the Sony Playstation 3, smartphones, Microsoft XBox 360, DLNA speakers, and TVs from Sony and Samsung, with more expected.

Use

Docker run

Quickly run the image via docker run.

docker run --name=rygel -it --rm --net=host \
    -v /path/to/music:/music \
    -v /path/to/videos:/videos \
    -v /path/to/pictures:/pictures \
    tomsotte/rygel:latest

This will start the rygel server and you should now be able to browse the content on DLNA/uPNP compatible devices.

NOTE: You should run the image with host networking so that the server can be discovered over mDNS. (more info: docs, article)

Docker Compose

Alternatively you can create or use the default docker-compose.yml in this repository.

Example

version: '3'

services:
    rygel:
        image: tomsotte/rygel
        volumes:
            - <path-to-music>:/music
            - <path-to-videos>:/videos
            - <path-to-pictures>:/pictures
            - <path-to-cache:/root/.cache/rygel

Cache

Rygel will make use of the cache. To store it externally you can mount a volume at /root/.cache/rygel.

Upgrade

To upgrade to newer releases, it's simple as this steps:

1. Stop and remove the old container.
2. Pull the latest image and run it as above (same options).

Build

Automated builds of the image are available on Dockerhub and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull tomsotte/rygel:latest

Alternately you can build the image yourself.

docker build -t tomsotte/rygel github.com/tomsotte/docker-rygel

To build the image on docker-compose, add the build: <dir-path-to-dockerfile> under rygel service.
