Minidlna in docker container

Not the best container, but works :)

Build

docker build -t jdm17/minidlna .

OR

docker compose build

Run

The recommended method is to use with docker-compose file. Check the example file in the repository.

with environment parameters

docker run -tid --name=minidlna --net=host -e SRVNAME=dockerlna -e "FOLDERS=/mnt/data/mp3;/mnt/data/movie;/mnt/data/torrent" -v /mnt/data/pub/:/mnt/data croc/minidlna

• SRVNAME - name of the minidlna server
• FOLDERS - list of the shared folders on your volume (/mnt/data)

Please use docker-compose file (from my Github page) for easier management.

with config file

1. use and edit config template file config/minidlna.conf.tmpl
2. save as config/minidlna.conf
3. run minidlna with docker-compose file without any environment variables, the volumes only: docker-compose up -d

Known errors

Container always restarts and SSDP service start problem message in the container logs. Check the 1900 UDP port on your docker host (example: ss -lntpu | grep -i 1900 ) maybe already in use. Stop another UPNP service, like Jellyfin/Plex/Emby server to free up this port and try again.
