[mstream](https://mstream.io/) is a personal music streaming server. You can use mStream to stream your music from your home computer to any device, anywhere. There are mobile apps available for both Android and iPhone.
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/).
Simply pulling `linuxserver/mstream` 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 | arm32v7-latest |
## Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
### docker
```
docker create \
--name=mstream \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e USER=admin \
-e PASSWORD=password \
-e USE_JSON=true/false \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v <pathtodata>:/config \
-v <pathtomusic>:/music \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/mstream
```
### docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
mstream:
image: linuxserver/mstream
container_name: mstream
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- USER=admin
- PASSWORD=password
- USE_JSON=true/false
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
-<pathtodata>:/config
-<pathtomusic>:/music
ports:
- 3000:3000
restart: unless-stopped
```
## Parameters
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.
### Ports (`-p`)
| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `3000` | The port for the mStream webinterface |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `USER=admin` | Set username to login |
| `PASSWORD=password` | Set password for user |
| `USE_JSON=true/false` | Run mStream using the config specified at `/config/config.json`, note this will mean user/password is defined in `config.json` |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use e.g. Europe/London |
### Volume Mappings (`-v`)
| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | mStream config |
| `/music` | Music location |
## 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:
Access the webui at `http://<your-ip>:3000`, For most users specifying a `$USER` and `$PASSWORD` is sufficient, the `USE_JSON` option allows for more granular control of mStream, but with added complexity, requiring manual editing of `config.json` to configure your install, for more information check out [Mstream](https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream/blob/master/docs/json_config.md#json-config). Note using this option will make the default username:password `admin` and `password` respectively and any environmental variables will be ignored.
