[SickGear](https://github.com/sickgear/sickgear) provides management of TV shows and/or Anime, it detects new episodes, links downloader apps, and more.. 

For more information on SickGear visit their website and check it out: https://github.com/SickGear/SickGear


## 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/sickgear` 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 | arm32v6-latest |


## Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

### docker

```
docker create \
  --name=sickgear \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -v <path to data>:/tv \
  -v <path to data>:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/sickgear
```


### docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
  sickgear:
    image: linuxserver/sickgear
    container_name: sickgear
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
      - <path to data>:/tv
      - <path to data>:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
    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 |
| :----: | --- |
| `8081` | will map the container's port 8081 to port 8081 on the host |


### Environment Variables (`-e`)

| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |

### Volume Mappings (`-v`)

| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | this will store any uploaded data on the docker host |
| `/tv` | where you store your tv shows |
| `/downloads` | your downloads folder for post processing (must not be donwload in progress) |



## 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:

```
  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
```

## Application Setup

## Setting up the application

Access the webui at `<your-ip>:8081`, for more information check out [SickGear](https://github.com/sickgear/sickgear).

## Migration

Non linuxserver.io containers are known to have the following configuration differences and may need SickGear or docker changes to migrate an existing setup

* The post processing directory which is volume mounted as `downloads` within this container may be `incoming` in other versions.

* The permissions environmental variables which are defined as `PGID` and `PUID` within this container may have been `APP_UID` and `APP_UID` in other versions.

* The configuration file directory which is volume mounted as `config` within this container may be set as the environmetal variable `APP_DATA` in other versions.

* The cache directory which is set in `config.ini` may be configured as a fixed path `cache_dir = /data/cache`. 
Symptoms of this issue include port usage problems and a failure to start the web server log entries. 
Whilst the container is stopped alter this directive to `cache_dir = cache` which will allow SickGear to look for the folder relative to the volume mounted `/config` directory.

It is recommended that a clean install be completed, rather than a migration, however if migration is necessary:

* start a new instance of this image

* compare and align SickGear version numbers bewteen old and new. Ideally they should match but at a minumum the old vesion should be a lower version number to allow SickGear itself to try and migrate

* stop both containers

* notice the configuration difference and migrate copies of the old settings into the new app

* start the new container and test



## Support Info

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

## Versions
