docker-kodi-server

This will allow you to

• serve files through the XBMC UPnP Library to your UPnP client/players (such as Xbmc or Chromecast).
• Web access every time , or use with some tools like htpc-manager
• Trigger library scan When you want or from sickbeard/sickrage/couchpotato/...

Docker is used to compile and run the latest headless version of KODI on Archlinux

Preqrequisites:

• Docker (Follow the installation instructions)
• A shared Library with mysql is higly recommended ( depending you needs)

Quick start

1. Prepare a full kodi profile with the GUI version

If you require web access, make sure to enable this, and set the port to 8089. Because 8080 is default for http proxy , the docker image expose 8089

2. Make a copy of the ~/.kodi directory ( destination doesn't matter , this is just an example)

    $ cp -r ~./kodi ~/kodi-server-profile
   

3. Use prebuild docker image (see here)

For the last stable version,

    $ docker pull celedhrim/kodi-server

For a specific version,

    $ docker pull celedhrim/kodi-server:branchname

branchname	Kodi branch	Kodi version	Ubuntu version
lastest ( default)	krypton	17.3	Archlinux
helix	helix	14.2	14.04 (Trusty Tahr)
isengard	isengard	15.2	14.04 (Trusty Tahr)
jarvis	jarvis	16.1	16.04 (Xenial Xerus)
krypton	krypton	17.3	Archlinux
experimental	krypton	17.0rc2	Archlinux

3. Run the image ( change the /path/to/kodi-server-profile)

    $ docker run -d --restart="always" --net=host -v /path/to/kodi-server-profile:/opt/kodi-server/share/kodi/portable_data celedhrim/kodi-server
   

   or if use specific branch

    $ docker run -d --restart="always" --net=host -v /path/to/kodi-server-profile:/opt/kodi-server/share/kodi/portable_data celedhrim/kodi-server:branchname
   

Build the container yourself

$ git clone https://github.com/Celedhrim/docker-kodi-server.git
$ git checkout branchname
$ docker build --rm=true -t $(whoami)/kodi-server .

Then proceed with the Quick start section.
