​Webgrabplus is a multi-site incremental xmltv epg grabber. It collects tv-program guide data from selected tvguide sites for your favourite channels.

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/webgrabplus 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=webgrabplus \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -v <path to config>:/config \
  -v <path to data>:/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/webgrabplus

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  webgrabplus:
    image: linuxserver/webgrabplus
    container_name: webgrabplus
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - <path to config>:/config
      - <path to data>:/data
    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

To configure WebGrab+Plus follow the documentation​

Note that there are some things in the guide that does not apply to this container. Below you can find the changes.

The configuration files are found where your config volume is mounted. Do not change the filename tag in the configuration file!

The /data volume mapping is where WebGrab+Plus outputs the xml file. To use the xml file in another program, you have to point it to the host path you mapped the /data volume to.

To adjust the scheduled cron job for grabbing, edit the wg-cron file found in the /config folder. After you have edited the the wg-cron file, restart the container to apply the new schedule. Do not adjust the command!

Below is the syntax of the cron file.

 ┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)
 │ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
 │ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1 - 31)
 │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)
 │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday;
 │ │ │ │ │                                       7 is also Sunday on some systems)
