[Couchpotato](https://couchpota.to/) is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a `movies I want` list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.
## Supported Architectures
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).
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
### docker
```
docker create \
--name=couchpotato \
-e PUID=1001 \
-e PGID=1001 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-e UMASK_SET=022 \
-p 5050:5050 \
-v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
-v </path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
-v </path/to/movies>:/movies \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/couchpotato
```
### docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
couchpotato:
image: linuxserver/couchpotato
container_name: couchpotato
environment:
- PUID=1001
- PGID=1001
- TZ=Europe/London
- UMASK_SET=022
volumes:
-</path/to/appdata/config>:/config
-</path/to/downloads>:/downloads
-</path/to/movies>:/movies
ports:
- 5050:5050
mem_limit: 4096m
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 |
| :----: | --- |
| `5050` | http gui |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1001` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1001` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
| `UMASK_SET=022` | for umask setting of couchpotato, optional , default if left unset is 022 |
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=1001` and `PGID=1001`, to find yours use `id user` as below:
