Emby in Podman

[IAmHugh 85]

Is there a tutorial for Emby to be added to Podman? After doing research I decided that for my containers

I did not want Docker with Portainer. One less layer and rootless.

Hi, is there an Emby package for it?

[IAmHugh 85]

Should be the same package as for Docker.

[Luke 43192]

OK, would the normal docker install process be sufficient then?

Hi, with you have podman and podman-compose, create this compose.yaml:

services:
  emby:
    image: docker.io/emby/embyserver@sha256:3aafff933d3f28d23ed0bc201022abe71c0aa80deb17177566c726b9bbc686c6
    container_name: embyserver
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - UID=1000
      - GID=100
      - GIDLIST=100
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,video,utility
    volumes:
      - ./emby/data:/config:z
      - /mnt/external_disk:/mnt/:rw
    devices:
      - nvidia.com/gpu=all
    restart: unless-stopped

I has runnning this compose, for a long time (remember this compose in volumes setup for my homelab, in you case check volume setting).

I had my stack built for me so I'll have to compare with one of the apps compose.yaml file. I think for my use it would be. However I did not realize any info for the GPU was included. I have a Radeon 9070.
