Docker Pulls Docker Stars Build Status

Minisatip is a multi-threaded satip server version 1.2 that runs under Linux and it was tested with DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-C2, ATSC and ISDB-T cards.

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.

Simply pulling linuxserver/minisatip 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=minisatip \
  -e PUID=1001 \
  -e PGID=1001 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e RUN_OPTS=<parameter> \
  -p 8875:8875 \
  -p 554:554 \
  -p 1900:1900/udp \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  --device /dev/dvb:/dev/dvb \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/minisatip

Additional runtime parameters

In some cases it might be necessary to start minisatip with additional parameters, for example to configure a unicable LNB. Add the parameters you need and restart the container. Be sure to have the right parameters set as adding the wrong once might lead to the container not starting correctly. For a list of minisatip parameters visit Minisatip page.

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "2"
services:
  minisatip:
    image: linuxserver/minisatip
    container_name: minisatip
    environment:
      - PUID=1001
      - PGID=1001
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - RUN_OPTS=<parameter>

    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
8875 Status Page WebUI
554 RTSP Port
1900/udp App Discovery

Environment Variables (-e)

Env Function
PUID=1001 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1001 for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Europe/London Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
RUN_OPTS=<parameter> Specify specific run params for minisatip

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function
/config Configuration files and minisatip data

Device Mappings (--device)

Parameter Function
/dev/dvb For passing through Tv-cards

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=1001 and PGID=1001, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Application Setup

Best used in conjunction with tvheadend

There is no setup per se, other than adding your cards for passthrough.

You can then use your cards as DVB inputs in apps such as tvheadend.

Support Info

  • Shell access whilst the container is running:
    • docker exec -it minisatip /bin/bash
