[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.
## 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) 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.
## Support Info
* Shell access whilst the container is running:
*`docker exec -it mstream /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
*`docker logs -f mstream`
* Container version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' mstream`
* Image version number
*`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/mstream`
