EODCrafter 180 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) How can I install 2 Emby Servers on 1 Ubuntu like you can in windows with the stand-alone package? My Live TV has restriction of only 1 login for Stream, so if someone is watching TV in the Den, I want to watch in the bedroom. Sry if this is simple, but i'm not advanced on Linux. Edit: I'm thinking create another user and use that to install Emby? Doesn't sound like a very elegant solution, but I think Emby creates it's own user group...hmmmm.

Luke 37112 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I think this will be difficult, but if your live tv provider allow allows one stream then I don't see how a second server will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the way the m3u tuner works. It would be real sloppy to have 2 m3u's loaded on 1 server so a second server is the best solution running on port 8097. This is how the m3u is set up.... M3u 1st Account #EXTINF:0,channel-id="2" WKRNDT http://get.tv.fast/live/BillGates@[member="gmail"].com/<password>Blob1/55533.m3u8 M3u 2nd Account #EXTINF:0,channel-id="2" WKRNDT http://get.tv.fast/live/BillGates@[member="gmail"].com/<password>Blob2/55533.m3u8 To have 2 Channel 2's on 1 server is just not ideal. I really need 2 Servers on 1 Ubuntu please! Keep in mind there are 7-8 hundred channels in each package.

Simple assuming you don't want them sharing state (which is also possible but I think you're trying to avoid that?) In any case, just spin up 2 Emby docker containers w/ different configs.

I'm not famaliar with Docker Containers in Ubuntu 18.04.

If you specify the same config location, you will get collisions between the servers. Nice thing about docker is if you screw something up, you just delete the container and start another one.

EODCrafter 180 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Ok...I think I created the instance..... 1. docker run -it --restart unless-stopped --network host --name emby2 -e TZ="America/Chicago" -v /home/steve/emby/config2:/config -v /home/steve/google/Emby:/google -d emby/embyserver:beta 2. docker run -it --restart unless-stopped --network host --name emby -e TZ="America/Chicago" -v /home/steve/emby/config:/config -v /home/steve/google/Emby:/google -d emby/embyserver:beta Other useful commands docker ps -a docker container prune docker volume prune docker system prune --volumes EDIT: Corrected with actual command used for Docker Run....Thanks @@mastrmind11 Edited September 12, 2018 by EODCrafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution mastrmind11 717 Posted September 12, 2018 Solution Share Posted September 12, 2018 Ok...I think I created the instance..... steve@steve:~$ docker run -d \ > --volume /home/steve/embybedroom/programdata:/config \ > --volume /home/steve/embybedroom/share1:/mnt/share1 \ > --volume /home/steve/embybedroom/share2:/mnt/share2 \ > --device /dev/dri/renderD128 \ > --publish 8097:8097 \ > --publish 8921:8921 \ > --env UID=1000 \ > --env GID=100 \ > --env GIDLIST=100 \ > emby/embyserver:latest f7bea8111220089d218c218f17bb83d97ce7414ed830ecfb6370200c90635f14 Now how can i get into this instance? I tried the ip:port on my browser but it says refused to connect..... EDIT: Got it...Weird, it still runs on port 8096 in the browser but its a different server IP...Sry, I'm a newbie Nvrmind...its just using the Docker IP to connect to my first instance.... Inside the docker it can continue to run on 8096, since it's in a container, so 8097:8096 in your config. Also, if you enable host mode in the run command, it'll use your server IP and not docker's. https://docs.docker.com/network/network-tutorial-host/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmind11 717 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 glad it worked out for you. I've never actually tried w/ Emby, but it's kinda one of the main reasons Docker was created. Enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your provider only allows one connection I don't see how this will get around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your provider only allows one connection I don't see how this will get around that. Its not the same Stream @@Luke....I purchase access to 2 and it has a separate password (blob1 & blob2) for each access with my login BillGates ex. If I tried to get the stream blob1 while someone was watching in the livingroom it would not connect or probably disconnect them so i connect to the stream blob2. Actually it doesn't matter what stream they are watching because you cannot access 2 streams on the same account twice. This really sucks when it comes to your PVR feature cause with this service, as good as it is, I cannot record one channel while watching another unless I use another account.

EODCrafter 180 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 One last question.... Is it safe to remove /var/lib/emby or is this still in use by Docker? I have removed the dpkg but I'm not sure if Docker still uses that library as a shared resource..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything the container uses is stored in path you set for /config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
