Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags. latest tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them.

Tag	Description
latest	Stable releases from GitHub
develop	Development releases from commits in upstream develop branch

Application Setup

Access the webui at <your-ip>:5055, for more information check out Overseerr.

Usage

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

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  overseerr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/overseerr
    container_name: overseerr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - /path/to/appdata/config:/config
    ports:
      - 5055:5055
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=overseerr \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=America/New_York \
  -p 5055:5055 \
  -v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/overseerr

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
5055	Port for Overseerr's web interface.

Environment Variables (-e)

Env	Function
PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=America/New_York	Specify a timezone to use EG America/New_York

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume	Function
/config	Contains all relevant configuration files.

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

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 overseerr /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
  • docker logs -f overseerr

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