[diskover](https://github.com/shirosaidev/diskover) is a file system crawler and disk space usage software that uses Elasticsearch to index and manage data across heterogeneous storage systems.
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/).
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.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support.
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`.
Once running the URL will be `http://<host-ip>/` initial application spinup will take some time so please reload if you get an empty response. We highly reccomend using Docker compose for this image as it includes multiple database backends to link into.
If you are looking to mount the elasticsearch and redis data to your host machine for access neither of them currently support setting a custom UID or GID they will run by default as:
ElasticSearch also requires a sysctl setting on the host machine to run properly. Running `sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144` will solve this issue. To make this setting persistent through reboots, set this value in `/etc/sysctl.conf`.
If you simply want the application to work you can mount these to folders with 0777 permissions, otherwise you will need to create these users host level and set the folder ownership properly.
By default this compose example is pointed to a single directory and the UID and GID you pass to the diskover container needs to match that folders ownership. If these are shared folders with many owners the indexing will likely fail.

We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
