ReadyMedia (aka MiniDLNA) Docker container for Raspberry Pi

ReadyMedia (aka MiniDLNA) Docker container for Raspberry PI

This project builds a Raspberry PI Docker container embedding a ReadyMedia server (DLNA compliant). This container allows you to share media files over a network using DLNA protocol.

Build instructions

Install Docker on a Raspberry PI host.

Build a Docker image using this command:

$ make

A Docker image named 'rpi-readymedia' is now available.

You may have to increase the amount of inotify watchers:

$ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sudo sysctl -p

Start a new container using this image:

$ sudo docker run --name rpi-readymedia -d --restart always -v $PWD/media:/data/media --net=host rpi-readymedia

Media files are found in directory /data/media inside the container. Tweak the command line argument -v /your/local/dir:/data/media to set a specific directory.
