Installation: Docker Linux

Docker Compose is the recommended installation method on Linux. It is a zero maintenance installation method, consider using that instead.

---

1. Install Docker if necessary. The following steps assume you added your user to the docker group.
2. Install Watchtower. This will handle autoupdates of Scrypted.

docker run \
  -d --restart unless-stopped \
  --name watchtower \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  containrrr/watchtower \
  --interval 3600 --cleanup

3. Run the following in Terminal to install Scrypted:

# pull the image
docker pull koush/scrypted
# run the image, saving the database and configuration files in a subdirectory named "scrypted"
docker run \
  --network host \
  -d --restart unless-stopped \
  --name scrypted \
  -v ~/.scrypted/volume:/server/volume \
  koush/scrypted

Scrypted is now running at: https://localhost:10443/

Note that it is https and that you'll be asked to approve/ignore the website certificate.
