Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/sickgear should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=sickgear \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path to data>:/tv \
  -v <path to data>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/sickgear

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  sickgear:
    image: linuxserver/sickgear
    container_name: sickgear
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <path to data>:/tv
      - <path to data>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Environment Variables (-e)

Volume Mappings (-v)

User / Group Identifiers

When using 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 any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

Setting up the application

Access the webui at <your-ip>:8081, for more information check out SickGear.

Migration

Non linuxserver.io containers are known to have the following configuration differences and may need SickGear or docker changes to migrate an existing setup

• The post processing directory which is volume mounted as downloads within this container may be incoming in other versions.

• The permissions environmental variables which are defined as PGID and PUID within this container may have been APP_UID and APP_UID in other versions.

• The configuration file directory which is volume mounted as config within this container may be set as the environmetal variable APP_DATA in other versions.

• The cache directory which is set in config.ini may be configured as a fixed path cache_dir = /data/cache. Symptoms of this issue include port usage problems and a failure to start the web server log entries. Whilst the container is stopped alter this directive to cache_dir = cache which will allow SickGear to look for the folder relative to the volume mounted /config directory.

It is recommended that a clean install be completed, rather than a migration, however if migration is necessary:

• start a new instance of this image

• compare and align SickGear version numbers bewteen old and new. Ideally they should match but at a minumum the old vesion should be a lower version number to allow SickGear itself to try and migrate

• stop both containers

• notice the configuration difference and migrate copies of the old settings into the new app

• start the new container and test

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running:

  • docker exec -it sickgear /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:

  • docker logs -f sickgear

• Container version number

  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' sickgear

• Image version number

  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/sickgear
