Thelounge (a fork of shoutIRC) is a web IRC client that you host on your own server.
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/thelounge
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:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker create \
--name=thelounge \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 9000:9000 \
-v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/thelounge
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2.1"
services:
thelounge:
image: linuxserver/thelounge
container_name: thelounge
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
ports:
- 9000:9000
restart: unless-stopped
Container 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.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 9000 |
Application WebUI |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
-v /config |
Configuration files. |
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.
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)
- To log in to the application, browse to https://:9000.
- To setup user account(s) edit
/config/config.json
- Change the value
public: true,
topublic: false,
- restart the container and enter the following from the command line of the host:
docker exec -it thelounge thelounge add <user>
- Enter a password when prompted, refresh your browser.
- You should now be prompted for a password on the webinterface.
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it thelounge /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f thelounge
- container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' thelounge
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/thelounge
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
- Update the image:
docker pull linuxserver/thelounge
- Stop the running container:
docker stop thelounge
- Delete the container:
docker rm thelounge
- Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) - Start the new container:
docker start thelounge
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull
- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull thelounge
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d thelounge
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once thelounge
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-thelounge.git
cd docker-thelounge
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t linuxserver/thelounge:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
