linuxserver/beets
Beets is a music library manager and not, for the most part, a music player. It does include a simple player plugin and an experimental Web-based player, but it generally leaves actual sound-reproduction to specialized tools.
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/beets: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 | ❌ |
Version Tags
This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags.
Tag | Available | Description |
---|---|---|
latest | ✅ | Stable Beets Releases |
nightly | ✅ | Built against head of Beets git, generally considered unstable but a likely choice for power users of the application. |
Application Setup
Edit the config file in /config
To edit the config from within the container use beet config -e
For a command prompt as user abc docker exec -it -u abc beets bash
See Beets for more info.
Contains beets-extrafiles plugin, configuration details
Usage
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

Parameters
Containers 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.

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__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable
Will set the environment variable MYVAR
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable
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 your_user
as below:
id your_user
Example output:
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
Docker 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 beets /bin/bash
-
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f beets
-
Container version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' beets
-
Image version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
-
Update images:
-
All images:
docker-compose pull
-
Single image:
docker-compose pull beets
-
-
Update containers:
-
All containers:
docker-compose up -d
-
Single container:
docker-compose up -d beets
-
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
-
Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest
-
Stop the running container:
docker stop beets
-
Delete the container:
docker rm beets
-
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) -
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once beets
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
!!! warning
We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using [Docker Compose](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose).
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
!!! tip
We recommend [Diun](https://crazymax.dev/diun/) for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-beets.git
cd docker-beets
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/beets:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
