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

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/).
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.
## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`.
As an example:
```
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
```
Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file.
## Umask for running applications
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`.
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.
* 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

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) can be accessed via the dynamic badge above.
