## Usage

```
docker create \
  --name=medusa \
-v <path to config>:/config \
-v <path to downloads>:/downloads \
-v <path to tv-shows>:/tv \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-p 8081:8081 \
  linuxserver/medusa
```

## Parameters

`The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side.
For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container.
So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.`



* `-p 8081` - the port(s)
* `-v /config` - where medusa should store config files.
* `-v /downloads` - your downloads folder
* `-v /tv` - your tv-shows folder
* `-e PGID` for GroupID - see below for explanation
* `-e PUID` for UserID - see below for explanation
* `-e TZ` for timezone information, eg Europe/London


It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do `docker exec -it medusa /bin/bash`.

### User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data 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 the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance `PUID=1001` and `PGID=1001`. To find yours use `id user` as below:

```
  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
```

## Setting up the application

Web interface is at `<your ip>:8081` , set paths for downloads, tv-shows to match docker mappings via the webui.


## Info

* Shell access whilst the container is running: `docker exec -it medusa /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: `docker logs -f medusa`

* container version number

`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' medusa`

* image version number

`docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/medusa`
