Docker Pulls Docker Stars Build Status

Couchpotato is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a movies I want list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory.

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/couchpotato 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=couchpotato \
  -e PUID=1001 \
  -e PGID=1001 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e UMASK_SET=022 \
  -p 5050:5050 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/downloads>:/downloads \
  -v </path/to/movies>:/movies \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/couchpotato

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  couchpotato:
    image: linuxserver/couchpotato
    container_name: couchpotato
    environment:
      - PUID=1001
      - PGID=1001
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - UMASK_SET=022
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/downloads>:/downloads
      - </path/to/movies>:/movies
    ports:
      - 5050:5050
    mem_limit: 4096m
    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
5050 http gui

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
UMASK_SET=022 for umask setting of couchpotato, optional , default if left unset is 022

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function
/config Couchpotato Application Data.
/downloads Downloads Folder.
/movies Movie Share.

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

Access the webui at <your-ip>:5050, for more information check out CouchPotato.

    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' couchpotato
  • Image version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/couchpotato
