Someone was asking about a docker for MB3 yesterday, but I couldnt find that thread.

 

This worked just fine for me:

 

docker run -d --net=host -u nobody -v /mnt/cache/appdata/MBServer:/MBServer/ProgramData-Server -v /mnt/user:/media -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --name=mbserver mediabrowser/mbserver

 

I haven't done extensive testing yet, but I have, so far, been able to add media and play it back.

 

Ive been using this as my primary MB3 server for a few days now and it certainly works well!  Since my unRAID hardware is a bit beefier than the Windows server I was running on, my clients load much quicker.

 

Path substitution works flawlessly as well!

How large of a library?  I've got about 800 items.

 

Also for Live TV do you just point to the ServerWMC host on another box?

 

Thanks!

This is a screenshot from Plex, but the media is the same for MB3 and Plex.

 

I'm not doing LiveTV yet.  I'm quite happy with the live TV setup I'm using in WMC, so I haven't really played with it in MB3 yet.  ** Note: the "Recorded TV" you see is just a share with all my WTV files that copy up to unRAID from each HTPC.

Awesome, I'm going to go ahead and try it now.

 

Did you just the base Ubuntu image and the the command referenced above?

 

Thanks!

I was already running CrashPlan and PlexWatch...so whatever base image that is is what I was using.  I then SSH'd into my unRAID box and ran that command.  A few minutes later it started and I was able to connect and set all the settings. 

 

I let it run for a day or so, before I switched a couple of my HTPCs over to it.

So I enabled Docker.

 

Then ran

 

docker pull ubuntu

 

Is that enough to have the base image?  Or is there configuration/installation for the base beyond that?

 

Thanks!

I never did that.  Im sure my first docker pulled some sort of base image, but I didnt do anything manually.

Odd, I get the following:

Think I got it, believe it was permission based.  Let me test!

Just tried this docker.  Seems to work great.  Scanning seems not as good as the Plex one. 

The scanning is always stalling and do not complete.  Have to repeatedly restart the docker so the scan goes a bit further...

That happened to me on WIndows as well.  Try disabling "People" and "Chapters" metadata, let it complete, then add it back in if you want it.

Just tried, same thing...

Hey all.

 

What URL does this run on once its started?

192.168.1.2:8096 for me doesn't work.

http://<ipAddressOfYourUnraidServer>:8096/mediabrowser

 

http://<ipAddressOfYourUnraidServer>:8096/mediabrowser

 

That got it, thank you!
