​Synclounge is a third party tool that allows you to watch Plex in sync with your friends/family, wherever you are.

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/synclounge 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-compose (recommended)

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  synclounge:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/synclounge
    container_name: synclounge
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - AUTH_LIST=plexuser1,plexuser2,email1,machineid1 #optional
      - AUTOJOIN_ENABLED=false #optional
      - AUTOJOIN_ROOM=roomname #optional
    ports:
      - 8088:8088
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli

docker run -d \
  --name=synclounge \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e AUTH_LIST=plexuser1,plexuser2,email1,machineid1 `#optional` \
  -e AUTOJOIN_ENABLED=false `#optional` \
  -e AUTOJOIN_ROOM=roomname `#optional` \
  -p 8088:8088 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/linuxserver/synclounge

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.

Application Setup

The web app and the server are both accessible at http://SERVERIP:8088.

Note: It is recommended to use http as the external proto with a reverse proxy due to https not working with external plex clients.

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 synclounge /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:

  • docker logs -f synclounge

• Container version number

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

• Image version number

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

Versions

• 28.10.20: - Update to v4. Env vars EXTERNAL_URL, EXTERNAL_SERVER_PORT and AUTOJOIN_PASSWORD are deprecated and no longer have any effect. Env vars AUTOJOIN_ENABLED and AUTOJOIN_ROOM are still working but will be removed in the future in favor of synclounge's built-in var autojoin__room. If you are reverse proxying, do not forget to update your proxy settings (here and here) as the server port and addresses are changed.

• 11.10.20: - Pin builds to upstream commit 6aecc9bd while evaluating the breaking changes upstream.

• 27.09.20: - Updating the external repo endpoint.

• 01.06.20: - Rebasing to alpine 3.12.
