[Pyload](https://pyload.net/) is a Free and Open Source download manager written in Python and designed to be extremely lightweight, easily extensible and fully manageable via web.
## 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/pyload` 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=pyload \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 8000:8000 \
-p 7227:7227 `#optional` \
-v </path/to/pyload/config>:/config \
-v </path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/pyload
```
### docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
pyload:
image: linuxserver/pyload
container_name: pyload
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
-</path/to/pyload/config>:/config
-</path/to/downloads>:/downloads
ports:
- 8000:8000
ports:
- 7227:7227 #optional
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 |
| :----: | --- |
| `8000` | Allows HTTP access to the application |
| `7227` | pyLoad control port |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
### Volume Mappings (`-v`)
| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | pyLoad Configuration and files database |
| `/downloads` | Destination of pyLoad downloads |
## 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:
