Archive notice

This project is archived because kodi team no longer provides PPA. I recommend switching to matthuisman/docker-kodi-headless.

docker-kodi-server

Run Kodi using docker as a server

This will allow you to

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

Preqrequisites:

Quick start

  1. Prepare a full kodi profile with the regular GUI version ( windows or linux )

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

Advices for the profile:

  • You don't need any display , personnaly I disable all menu and told kodi to start on settings
  • As software fake display is use , every graphic change is cpu cost , disable library update progess ( Settings / Media / Library : Hide progress of library updates)
  • Only configure scrapers , and set addons on auto update

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

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

  2. 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) nexus 20.1 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu)
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 17.6 Archlinux
leia leia 18.9 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)
matrix matrix 19.4 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)
nexus nexus 20.1 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu)
experimental krypton 17.0rc2 18.04 (Bionic Beaver)

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

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

Build the container yourself

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

Then proceed with the Quick start section.
