[Emby](https://emby.media/) organizes video, music, live TV, and photos from personal media libraries and streams them to smart TVs, streaming boxes and mobile devices. This container is packaged as a standalone emby Media Server.
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/).
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.
Emby has very complete and verbose documentation located [here](https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki) .
Hardware acceleration users for Intel Quicksync and AMD VAAPI will need to mount their /dev/dri video device inside of the container by passing the following command when running or creating the container:
```--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri```
We will automatically ensure the abc user inside of the container has the proper permissions to access this device.
Hardware acceleration users for Nvidia will need to install the container runtime provided by Nvidia on their host, instructions can be found here:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker
We automatically add the necessary environment variable that will utilise all the features available on a GPU on the host. Once nvidia-docker is installed on your host you will need to re/create the docker container with the nvidia container runtime `--runtime=nvidia` and add an environment variable `-e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all` (can also be set to a specific gpu's UUID, this can be discovered by running `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=gpu_name,gpu_uuid --format=csv` ). NVIDIA automatically mounts the GPU and drivers from your host into the emby docker.
### OpenMAX (Raspberry Pi)
Hardware acceleration users for Raspberry Pi OpenMAX will need to mount their /dev/vchiq video device inside of the container and their system OpenMax libs by passing the following options when running or creating the container:
```
--device=/dev/vchiq:/dev/vchiq
-v /opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib
```
### V4L2 (Raspberry Pi)
Hardware acceleration users for Raspberry Pi V4L2 will need to mount their /dev/video1X devices inside of the container by passing the following options when running or creating the container:
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.
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.
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`.

We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
* **21.12.20:** - Rebase to Focal, see [here](https://docs.linuxserver.io/faq#my-host-is-incompatible-with-images-based-on-ubuntu-focal) for troubleshooting armhf.
