The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring :-

• regular and timely application updates
• easy user mappings (PGID, PUID)
• custom base image with s6 overlay
• weekly base OS updates with common layers across the entire LinuxServer.io ecosystem to minimise space usage, down time and bandwidth
• regular security updates

Find us at:

• Discord - realtime support / chat with the community and the team.
• IRC - on freenode at #linuxserver.io. Our primary support channel is Discord.
• Blog - all the things you can do with our containers including How-To guides, opinions and much more!
• Podcast - on hiatus. Coming back soon (late 2018).

linuxserver/beets

Beets is a music library manager and not, for the most part, a music player. It does include a simple player plugin and an experimental Web-based player, but it generally leaves actual sound-reproduction to specialized tools.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/beets should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v6-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=beets \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 8337:8337 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/music/library>:/music \
  -v </path/to/ingest>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/beets

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  beets:
    image: linuxserver/beets
    container_name: beets
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/music/library>:/music
      - </path/to/ingest>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8337:8337
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
-p 8337	Application WebUI
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
-v /config	Configuration files.
-v /music	Music library
-v /downloads	Non processed music

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

 

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it beets /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f beets
• container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' beets
• image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/beets

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Run/Create

• Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/beets
• Stop the running container: docker stop beets
• Delete the container: docker rm beets
• Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• Start the new container: docker start beets
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Taisun auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)

• Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one shot:

  docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock taisun/updater \
  --oneshot beets
  

• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

• Update all images: docker-compose pull
  • or update a single image: docker-compose pull beets
• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d beets
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
