Runs Kodi in headless mode with docker
Archive notice
This project is archived because kodi team no longer provides PPA. I recommend switching to matthuisman/docker-kodi-headless.
docker-kodi-server
Run Kodi using docker as a server
This will allow you to
- serves files through the Kodi UPnP Library to your UPnP client/players (such as Kodi or Chromecast).
- Web access every time , or use with some tools like htpc-manager
- Trigger library scan When you want using api or from sickbeard/sickrage/couchpotato/sonarr/radarr/...
Preqrequisites:
- Docker (Follow the installation instructions)
- A shared Library with mysql is higly recommended to shared library ( If you don't use UPnP)
Quick start
- Prepare a full kodi profile with the regular GUI version ( windows or linux )
If you require web access, make sure to enable this, and set the port to 8089. Because 8080 is default for http proxy , this docker image expose 8089
Advices for the profile:
- You don't need any display , personnaly I disable all menu and told kodi to start on settings
- As software fake display is use , every graphic change is cpu cost , disable library update progess ( Settings / Media / Library : Hide progress of library updates)
- Only configure scrapers , and set addons on auto update
-
Make a copy of the ~/.kodi directory ( destination doesn't matter , this is just an example)
$ cp -r ~./kodi ~/kodi-server-profile -
Use prebuild docker image (see here)
For the last stable version,
$ docker pull celedhrim/kodi-server
For a specific version,
$ docker pull celedhrim/kodi-server:branchname

$ docker run -d --restart="always" --net=host -v /path/to/kodi-server-profile:/usr/share/kodi/portable_data celedhrim/kodi-serveror if use specific branch
$ docker run -d --restart="always" --net=host -v /path/to/kodi-server-profile:/usr/share/kodi/portable_data celedhrim/kodi-server:branchname
