No doubt there is a better way of doing this (and I'm not sure if this will survive a restart), but I'm happy it's working. I'm not sure if Minimserver needs to be restarted for it to see the ffmpeg, and when I first tried, it didn't appear to find ffmpeg but after a few seconds I think the error message saying Minimserver couldn't find ffmpeg disappeared. (I actually took a longer route, but this is the gist of what worked.)Īfter that I opened the properties window from Minimwatch, went to System and entered ffmpeg for nverter and clicked Apply, and Minimserver found it (it appears as opt/bin/ffmpeg in my case) and now I'm happily transcoding flac to wav24. Then in the terminal window I copied ffmpeg from the /media folder into /opt/minimserver/opt/bin. So I downloaded the package and unzipped it (used 7-Zip) then copied ffmpeg into the music folder. I used the x86_64 build initially I wasn't sure how to get it into the container, but since I had already mapped the /media folder to my music folder, I just needed to get ffmpeg into the music folder. Next, I had to get ffmpeg, and found a static build here. So that gave me the opt/bin directory I had to put ffmpeg in (/opt/minimserver/opt/bin). Under that minimserver directory is another opt directory, and I think I had to create the bin sub-directory under that. I hunted a bit and found the minimserver directory under /opt. Then I got into the docker container by usingĭocker exec -it docker-minimserver /bin/bash I opened a TTY window on my Windows PC and logged on to the unRAID server. The first thing was to get a command prompt in the container. My Linux skills are very limited, so I googled around and also read the Minimserver documentation about the stream converter (in my case ffmpeg) here. Well, I did some digging around and I came up with an inelegant way of putting ffmpeg into the container. There might be some Docker experts here who can help or having any great idea? The discussion is kind of stuck since Sep. MinimServer: startup error (see crash file for stack trace) MinimServer: ohNet port 9791 is already in use All rights reserved.ĪutoUpdate: installed package 'minimserver-0.8-update-104' This should start MinimServer in a Docker container. In a terminal window, change directory to this folder and run the following commands:ĭocker run -p:1900:1900/udp -p:9790:9790 -p:9791:9791 -net=host minimserver:0.8.4.7 I followed these steps as provided by Simon:Ĭreate a folder to be used for building the Docker image (I used /mnt/user/system/docker/appdata/minimserver)ĭownload the file MinimServer-0.8.4. from this page and save it in this folderĭownload the file Dockerfile.bin from this link, save it in this folder and rename it to Dockerfile Good morning sonofdbn, here is a discussion that you might find useful: Is something else required in order to enable UPnP? (And is that the likely problem?) So I think I misunderstood what is required. It was suggested there that Bridge mode should be used for Network Type, so I tried that, but it seems to remove (or not require) any port mapping then. I read a thread here on the Logitech Media Server docker which mentioned a similar-sounding UPnP problem. I'm wondering if the problem is with UPnP (which I know very little about) and whether it somehow needs to be enabled on unRAID. (I tried shutting down the Syno server and reinstalled MinimWatch, but that didn't help.) But I couldn't get it to find the docker MinimServer. I installed it, and it had no problem finding a MinimServer test server that I was running on a Synology NAS. MinimServer is controlled via MinimWatch, which can be installed on a Windows PC. The problem was that I couldn't access it from any PC on my network. It required going to MinimServer's http page and accepting a licence agreement, but after that it seemed to be OK, as its web ui said it was running (and the log showed this as well). Somewhat to my surprise (and a testimony to the amount of information available here), I managed to get MinimServer running. I haven't done a "manual" docker install before, but after a bit of reading I managed to download it via the CA tab and fiddled around mapping paths and ports, and in particular setting Network Type to "Bridge". MinimServer is a UPnP music server I'm trying to install a MinimServer docker ( ).
