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](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).
Using tags, you can switch between the stable releases of Heimdall and the master branch. No tag is required for the latest stable release.
Add the development tag, if required, to the linuxserver/heimdall line of the run/create command in the following format, linuxserver/heimdall:development
The development tag will be the latest commit in the master branch of Heimdall.
HOWEVER , USE THE DEVELOPMENT TAG AT YOUR OWN PERIL !!!!!!!!!
Docker 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.
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
### Volume Mappings (`-v`)
| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | Contains all relevant configuration files. |
## 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.
This image now supports password protection through htpasswd. Run the following command on your host to generate the htpasswd file `docker exec -it heimdall htpasswd -c /config/nginx/.htpasswd <username>`. Replace <username> with a username of your choice and you will be asked to enter a password. New installs will automatically pick it up and implement password protected access. Existing users updating their image can delete their site config at `/config/nginx/site-confs/default` and restart the container after updating the image. A new site config with htpasswd support will be created in its place.
## Support Info
* Shell access whilst the container is running:
*`docker exec -it heimdall /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
*`docker logs -f heimdall`
* Container version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' heimdall`
* Image version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/heimdall`
* **16.10.18:** - Updated fastcgi_params for user login support.
* **07.10.18:** - Symlink `.env` rather than copy. It now resides under `/config/www`
* **30.09.18:** - Multi-arch image. Move `.env` to `/config`.
* **05.09.18:** - Rebase to alpine linux 3.8.
* **06.03.18:** - Use password protection if htpasswd is set. Existing users can delete their default site config at /config/nginx/site-confs/default and restart the container, a new default site config with htpasswd support will be created in its place
