[Beets ](http://beets.io/ ) is a music library manager and not, for the most part, a music player. It does include a simple player plugin and an experimental Web-based player, but it generally leaves actual sound-reproduction to specialized tools.

## Supported Architectures
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2023-11-17 18:34:38 +00:00
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here ](https://distribution.github.io/distribution/spec/manifest-v2-2/#manifest-list ) and our announcement [here ](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/ ).
2019-02-12 14:41:48 +00:00
2022-05-05 11:32:34 +00:00
Simply pulling `lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
2019-02-12 14:41:48 +00:00
The architectures supported by this image are:
2022-05-05 11:32:34 +00:00
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
| :----: | :----: | ---- |
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\<version tag\> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-\<version tag\> |
2023-07-07 18:38:21 +00:00
| armhf | ❌ | |
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2019-05-04 02:06:11 +00:00
## Version Tags
2022-05-05 11:32:34 +00:00
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.
2019-05-04 02:06:11 +00:00
2022-05-05 11:32:34 +00:00
| Tag | Available | Description |
| :----: | :----: |--- |
| latest | ✅ | Stable Beets Releases |
| nightly | ✅ | Built against head of Beets git, generally considered unstable but a likely choice for power users of the application. |

## Parameters
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
Containers 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.

#### Miscellaneous Options

| :-----: | --- |
2020-07-04 02:05:49 +00:00
## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
2020-05-30 02:06:20 +00:00
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__` .
As an example:
2021-04-22 11:37:43 +00:00
```bash
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable
2020-05-30 02:06:20 +00:00
```
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
Will set the environment variable `MYVAR` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretvariable` file.
2020-05-30 02:06:20 +00:00
## Umask for running applications
2020-07-04 02:05:49 +00:00
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.
2019-02-12 14:41:48 +00:00
## User / Group Identifiers
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2020-07-04 02:05:49 +00:00
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` .
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2019-02-12 14:41:48 +00:00
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000` , to find yours use `id your_user` as below:
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2021-04-22 11:37:43 +00:00
```bash
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
id your_user
```
Example output:
```text
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
2019-02-12 14:41:48 +00:00
```

## Support Info
2019-02-07 17:09:21 +00:00
2019-09-07 02:06:03 +00:00
* Shell access whilst the container is running:
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
```bash
docker exec -it beets /bin/bash
```
2019-09-07 02:06:03 +00:00
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
```bash
docker logs -f beets
```
* Container version number:
```bash
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' beets
```
* Image version number:
```bash
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest
```
## Updating Info
2024-01-12 18:37:27 +00:00
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the [Application Setup ](#application-setup ) section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
2023-10-06 18:40:06 +00:00
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
### Via Docker Compose
* Update images:
* All images:
```bash
docker-compose pull
```
* Single image:
```bash
docker-compose pull beets
```
* Update containers:
* All containers:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
* Single container:
```bash
docker-compose up -d beets
```
* You can also remove the old dangling images:
```bash
docker image prune
```
### Via Docker Run
* Update the image:
```bash
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest
```
* Stop the running container:
```bash
docker stop beets
```
* Delete the container:
```bash
docker rm beets
```
* Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your `/config` folder and settings will be preserved)
* You can also remove the old dangling images:
```bash
docker image prune
```
### Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
!!! tip
We recommend [Diun ](https://crazymax.dev/diun/ ) for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
## Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-beets.git
cd docker-beets
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest .
```
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using `multiarch/qemu-user-static`
```bash
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
```
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with `-f Dockerfile.aarch64` .
