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 and our announcement here.

Simply pulling ghcr.io/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 arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  minisatip:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/minisatip
    container_name: minisatip
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - RUN_OPTS=<parameter>
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
    ports:
      - 8875:8875
      - 554:554
      - 1900:1900/udp
    devices:
      - /dev/dvb:/dev/dvb
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli

docker run -d \
  --name=minisatip \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -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 \
  ghcr.io/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.

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=1000 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000 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

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)

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.

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.
