linuxserver/oscam
Oscam is an Open Source Conditional Access Module software used for descrambling DVB transmissions using smart cards. It's both a server and a client.
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 and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/oscam
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 | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker
docker create \
--name=oscam \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 8888:8888 \
-v <path to data>:/config \
--device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/oscam
Passing through Smart Card Readers
If you want to pass through a smart card reader, you need to specify the reader with the --device=
tag. The method used depends on how the reader is recognized.
The first is /dev/ttyUSBX. To find the correct device, connect the reader and run dmesg | tail
on the host. In the output you will find /dev/ttyUSBX, where X is the number of the device. If this is the first reader you connect to your host, it will be /dev/ttyUSB0. If you add one more it will be /dev/ttyUSB1.
If there are no /dev/ttyUSBX device in dmesg | tail
, you have to use the USB bus path. It will look similar to the below.
/dev/bus/usb/001/001
The important parts are the two numbers in the end. The first one is the Bus number, the second is the Device number. To find the Bus and Device number you have to run lsusb
on the host, then find your USB device in the list and note the Bus and Device numbers.
Here is an example of how to find the Bus and Device. The output of the lsusb command is below.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 076b:6622 OmniKey AG CardMan 6121
The first number, the Bus, is 002. The second number, the Device, is 005. This will look like below in the --device=
tag.
--device=/dev/bus/usb/002/005
If you have multiple smart card readers, you add one --device=
tag for each reader.
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

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.

Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
Where oscam should store config files and logs. |
Device Mappings (--device
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
/dev/ttyUSB0 |
For passing through smart card readers. |
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
To set up oscam there are numerous guides on the internet. There are too many scenarios to make a quick guide. The web interface is at port 8888.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it oscam /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f oscam
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' oscam
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/oscam
