Flexget is a multipurpose automation tool for all of your media.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/flexget:latest 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 Available Tag
x86-64 amd64-<version tag>
arm64 arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf

Application Setup

Default config file is /config/.flexget

See the FlexGet website for more information.

Download folders

We have set /data as an optional path, this is because it is the easiest way to get started. While easy to use, it has some drawbacks. Mainly losing the ability to hardlink (TL;DR a way for a file to exist in multiple places on the same file system while only consuming one file worth of space), or atomic move (TL;DR instant file moves, rather than copy+delete) files while processing content.

Use the optional paths if you dont understand, or dont want hardlinks/atomic moves.

The folks over at servarr.com wrote a good write-up on how to get started with this.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  flexget:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/flexget:latest
    container_name: flexget
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - FG_LOG_LEVEL=info
      - FG_LOG_FILE=/config/flexget.log
      - FG_CONFIG_FILE=/config/.flexget/config.yml
      - FG_WEBUI_PASSWORD=info #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/data:/config
      - /path/to/downloads:/data #optional
    ports:
      - 5050:5050
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=flexget \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e FG_LOG_LEVEL=info \
  -e FG_LOG_FILE=/config/flexget.log \
  -e FG_CONFIG_FILE=/config/.flexget/config.yml \
  -e FG_WEBUI_PASSWORD=info `#optional` \
  -p 5050:5050 \
  -v /path/to/data:/config \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/data `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/flexget:latest

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
5050 HTTP port for the WebUI.

Environment Variables (-e)

Env Function
PUID=1000 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000 for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Etc/UTC specify a timezone to use, see this list.
FG_LOG_LEVEL=info Set the FlexGet logging level.
FG_LOG_FILE=/config/flexget.log Set the FlexGet log file location.
FG_CONFIG_FILE=/config/.flexget/config.yml Set the FlexGet config file location.
FG_WEBUI_PASSWORD=info Set the FlexGet webui password. Pay attention to Bash/YAML reserved characters.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function
/config Local path for FlexGet config files.
/data Default path for downloads.

Miscellaneous Options

Parameter Function

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 before asking for support.

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)

Docker Mods

Docker Mods Docker Universal Mods

We publish various 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.

Support Info

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