[minidlna] Please bump version to 1.3.0 about docker_base_images HOT 6 CLOSED

@n00ris
Here's my solution using docker-compose.

Directory structure:

minidlna/
|-- Dockerfile # edited from this repo
|-- data
|   |-- cache
|   |   |-- art_cache
|   |   `-- files.db
|   |-- minidlna.log
|   `-- minidlna.pid
|-- docker-compose.yml
`-- entrypoint.sh # from this repo

Dockerfile

FROM alpine

RUN apk --no-cache add bash curl tini shadow su-exec

# Add minidlna 1.3 latest
RUN apk --no-cache -X https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/ add minidlna

COPY entrypoint.sh /

ENTRYPOINT ["/sbin/tini", "--", "/entrypoint.sh"]

# Health check, changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 as 'localhost' was failing
HEALTHCHECK --interval=10s --timeout=10s --retries=6 CMD \
  curl --silent --fail 127.0.0.1:8200 || exit 1

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.3'
services:
    minidlna:
        build: .
        network_mode: host
        volumes:
            - '/home/user/mounted:/media:ro'
            # persistent volume so that the database survives system reboots and container restarts
            - './data:/minidlna'
            - '/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro'
        environment:
            - MINIDLNA_MEDIA_DIR=/media
            - MINIDLNA_FRIENDLY_NAME=Arch-Play
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
        container_name: minidlna

Then, just docker-compose up -d to start.

If you need to update in the future, you have to docker-compose build.

Hi @accountForIssues. Thank you for sharing your docker compose file.

My use case: I have family members that should at least be able to restart or update minidlna.
So it should be possible with portainer, a graphical UI to manage docker. After an initial setup (that I can prepare), it makes updates very easy to allow you to pull latest image and re-create. That level works for my family members :-)

EDIT: Unfortunetaly I am not aware to add docker compose files and individual commands like "add repository and patch yourself" via portainer.

I don't have much experience using Portainer to manage containers but I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it. There is no need to pull the repo to run the compose files though.

It's not exactly UI based but you can create simple shell scripts to start, restart, reset or update (quite rare for minidlna) when needed. It's better than telling your family to run commands in a terminal :)

Here's my solution using docker-compose.

Thanks for this. I used it as a basis for my own container and it's working great. Hopefully this can be committed to the main repo.

By the way, does DLNA just stream the raw video file to the video player? ...or does it perform any transcoding, etc?

Hi @vladgh. Can you please redeploy minidlna to bump its version on docker hub please?

Hi All, sorry for the very long delay in answering this!
The packaged version in the latest Alpine Linux is 1.2.1-r2, last patched in 2020-12-15. I thought a long time about upgrading MiniDLNA to 1.3.0, but I decided to stick with the upstream version from Alpine, because of stability and reliability. When a new version of Alpine will be released, it will come with the new MiniDLNA. This follows the usual Linux release cycle.
There are 2 ways of upgrading the package, and I don't support any of them:

• One is to add the edge repository and install it from there;

Warning: "edge" is under constant development so be careful using it in production. It is possible that bugs in "edge" could cause data loss or could break your system.

• And second is to manually compile the package from https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/files/minidlna/. This comes with maintenance of pre/post install scripts and dependencies.
