This container is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay. For shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it nzbget /bin/bash
.
The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.
-p 6789
- NZBGet WebUI Port-v /config
- NZBGet App data-v /downloads
- location of downloads on disk-e PGID
for for GroupID - see below for explanation-e PUID
for for UserID - see below for explanation-e TZ
for timezone EG. Europe/London
Sometimes when using data 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 the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.
In this instance PUID=1001
and PGID=1001
. To find yours use id user
as below:
$ id <dockeruser>
uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)
Webui can be found at <your-ip>:6789
and the default login details (change ASAP) are
login:nzbget, password:tegbzn6789
To allow scheduling, from the webui set the time correction value in settings/logging.
To change umask settings.
scroll to bottom, set umask like this (example shown for unraid)
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it nzbget /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f nzbget
- 30.09.16: Fix umask.
