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 ghcr.io/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:

Application Setup

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

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  sickgear:
    image: ghcr.io/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

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --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 \
  ghcr.io/linuxserver/sickgear

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)

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

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)

Docker Mods

​​​ ​​​

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

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" }}' ghcr.io/linuxserver/sickgear
