DEPRECATION NOTICE¶

This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated. We recommend our new pyload-ng image instead: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pyload-ng/

linuxserver/pyload¶

Pyload is a Free and Open Source download manager written in Python and designed to be extremely lightweight, easily extensible and fully manageable via web.

Supported Architectures¶

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/pyload should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

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.

Application Setup¶

Access the web interface at http://your-ip:8000 the default login is: username - admin password - password

For the ng tag, the default user/pass are pyload/pyload.

For general usage please see the pyLoad wiki here .

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:
  pyload:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/pyload
    container_name: pyload
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - /path/to/pyload/config:/config
      - /path/to/downloads:/downloads
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
      - 7227:7227 #optional
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)¶

docker run -d \
  --name=pyload \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -p 7227:7227 `#optional` \
  -v /path/to/pyload/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/pyload

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)¶

Environment Variables (-e)¶

Volume Mappings (-v)¶

Miscellaneous Options¶

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 pyload /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
• docker logs -f pyload
• Container version number
• docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' pyload
• Image version number
• docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/pyload
