How do I install the Emby docker on QNAP container station

[raven-au 17]

Hi all,

 

I don't see a specific place for Emby docker container discussions and my question is related to QNAP so I'm trying here.

 

I would like to use the official Emby docker container.

 

Reading through the description of the container it looks like I should be able to use it but I'm not sure what I need to use for some of the parameters in the Container station "Create Container" dialog.

 

I don't see problems with defining environment variables, or the network configuration, or the volumes needed, it's the startup parameters that I'm not sure about.

 

There is no systemd and init script installation will not survive a reboot so the container needs to be run by the QNAP Container Station startup which, for the QNAP, should be the best approach.

 

The container specifies an ENTRYPOINT of ["/init"], presumably "emby/embyserver" is supposed to be a parameter to /init at startup as is shown in the "Manual Run and Installation" section of the container information page.

 

Is that correct?

 

I'm thinking that perhaps all I need to do is specify ["emby/embyserver"] in the QNAP container creation Command field (this appears to the equivalent to adding a CMD directive to the Dockerfile) which should append "emby/embyserver" as a parameter to the ENTRYPOINT executable.

 

Am I correct that this is the way the container is supposed to work when "run" from the command line?

Is there more that needs to be done in terms of installation in order to use the manual run command?

 

Is there anything else about the container I need to know wrt. startup and how it works that would affect this?
