Docker
Create and run the container (substitute your <values>):
docker run -d \ --name=tautulli \ --restart=unless-stopped \ -v <path to data>:/config \ -e PUID=<uid> \ -e PGID=<gid> \ -e TZ=<timezone> \ -p 8181:8181 \ tautulli/tautulliTo update the container it must be removed and recreated:
# Stop the Tautulli containerdocker stop tautulli# Remove the Tautulli containerdocker rm tautulli# Pull the latest updatedocker pull tautulli/tautulli# Run the Tautulli container with the same parameters as beforedocker run -d ...Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following contents (substitute your <values>):
docker-compose.yml
version: '3'services: tautulli: image: tautulli/tautulli container_name: tautulli restart: unless-stopped volumes: - <path to data>:/config environment: - PUID=<uid> - PGID=<gid> - TZ=<timezone> ports: - 8181:8181Create and start the container (run the command from the same folder as your docker-compose.yml file):
docker-compose up -dTo update the container:
# Pull the latest updatedocker-compose pull# Update and restart the containerdocker-compose up -dParameters
You must substitute the <values> with your own settings.
Parameters are split into two halves separated by a colon. The left side represents the host and the right side the container.
Example: -p external:internal - This shows the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8181:8181 would expose port 8181 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8181 (e.g. http://<host_ip>:8181). The internal port must be 8181, but the external port may be changed (e.g. -p 8080:8181).
User / Group Identifiers
When using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. To avoid this issue you can specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify.
In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:
$ id dockeruseruid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)Synology
You can easily install Tautulli on Synology devices using Docker. Depending on your Synology device you may or may not have Docker pre-installed. If your device is 'unsupported' (i.e. Docker is not pre-installed or downloadable through the Synology Package Center), follow the guide here and newer versions of the Docker spk found here to install it.
Once you have Docker on your Synology, add the official image for Tautulli. This is done by opening the Docker program and searching the Registry tab for Tautulli. At the time of this write-up, the interface looked like this. The official image is named tautulli/tautulli and it may not be the first option listed. Double-click the image entry to download it. Once downloaded you will see the image show up under your Image tab. Before installing the image you will need some additional user information.
Depending on your preference, you can create a unique user on your system for Tautulli, or you can use the default admin user created during your first start-up. You will need the UID and GID of whatever user you have chosen. The steps to obtain these are as follows:
SSH into your system using PuTTy (if on Windows) or through Terminal (if on Linux or Mac). Be sure to use the appropriate username when logging in.
If you're having trouble with this, make sure that SSH is enabled in your Terminal and SNMP settings in your Synology Control Panel.
Type
idThis will return a line with the
uidof that user and their primary groupgid.[user@nas ~]$ id uid=1001(user) gid=1001(user) groups=1001(user)
Next, you will want to make sure that you have the prerequisite folders for Tautulli to save config files to. Here's an example general/simplified setup:
/root └──/docker └──/tautulli └──/configObviously, the important folder here is /root/docker/tautulli/config. You should ensure that the permissions on this folder allows the user you picked earlier, and will set later, has full rights to the folder. You can fix the permissions by right-clicking on your folders and going to Properties and then the Permission tab. Assign the appropriate user/group Full Control and if necessary Enable the option Apply to this folder, sub-folders and files.
You may need to restart your DiskStation for the change to take effect.
Next, back in the Docker window, double click your tautulli/tautulli:latest image to open the Create Container window. On the first menu, name your container whatever you want as long as it is identifiable to you. Next, click Advanced Settings to open a new window. Next, follow the instructions for the following tabs:
Advanced Settings:
Enable Enable auto-restart
If you wish, create a shortcut on the desktop
Volume:
Click Add Folder and add the following paths and corresponding Mount Paths.
Port Settings:
Change the Local Port to
8181to match the Container Port. For some reason the default vale ofAutoalmost never works.You may choose a different Local Port if port
8181is already in use, but you cannot change the Container Port.
Environment:
Add the following variables and their respective value
Finalize the container by applying the advanced settings and then following the remaining prompts.
If your container doesn't immediately run, launch it from the Docker window and give it a few dozen seconds to start completely. Your Tautulli installation should now be accessible via port 8181 (or your other Local Port) on your DiskStation's local IP address. You can find this under Control Panel -> Network -> Network Interface under LAN1 or LAN2. For example if it shows 192.168.0.5, then Tautulli can be found at http://192.168.0.5:8181/.
