Install Information

[sub]

Installing using Docker
This method is likely to be used for installation on NAS devices, or distros like LibreELEC. Running in a docker container NextPVR supports IPTV, HDHomeRun and digital tuners (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC and QAM).

On 64bit Intel machines, install the container image from Dockerhub using:

Code:

sudo docker image pull nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable

Updating to a new release
If you already running NextPVR, and a new release is available, and you'd like to update, you'd typically run the same command again:

Code:

sudo docker image pull nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable

Running the application with Docker
For the docker application to be able to stop channel lists and settings, that survive reboots, it needs to store it's use data in a location outside the docker container. It stores this information in the /config directory in the container, which you can map to a location outside of the container. To run the application interactively, so you can see the server output, with the configuration sent to the 'config' directory off your home ("~/config"), run the following command:

Code:

docker run -d \
    --name nextpvr \
    --volume /home/pi/config:/config \                    
    --volume /home/pi/videos:/recordings \
    --volume /home/pi/videos:/buffer \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --publish 16891:16891/udp \
    --publish 8866:8866 \
    nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable

--restart unless-stopped is telling docker to restart it if it crashes
--volume /home/pi/config:/config is telling it where to save your configuration
--volume /home/pi/videos:/recordings is telling it where to save your recordings
--volume /home/pi/videos:/buffer is telling it where to save your live tv buffer files
--publish 8866:8866 is telling docker to map port 8866 (on the host machine) to port 8866 inside the the docker container.
--publish 16891:16891/udp can help with auto discovery from some client applications.

If you're using an older legacy HDHomeRun, you'll also need these (with 192.168.1.51 replaced with your host's IP address):

Code:

--env HOST_IP=192.168.1.51 \
--publish 8020-8030:8020-8030/udp

If you need to use docker-compose, you can create a docker-compose.yml to achieve the same thing:

Code:

version: '3.5'
services:
  nextpvr:
    image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable
    container_name: nextpvr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=100
      - TZ=Europe/london
    ports:
      - 8866:8866
      - 16891:16891/udp
    volumes:
      - d:/docker/config:/config
      - d:/docker/recordings:/recordings
      - d:/docker/buffer:/buffer
    restart: 'unless-stopped'

With NextPVR running, your can access the browser interface on port 8866. The default login is admin/password.
