Install Shinobi with Docker

Warning : It is recommended that you have a dedicated machine for Shinobi even if you intend to use Docker. If you are willing to install directly on the operating system please consider installing Ubuntu 22.04 and using the Ninja Way.

We recommend that your Host OS is one of the following :

• Ubuntu 22.04
• CentOS 8
• MacOS 10.7

Docker Image Used : registry.gitlab.com/shinobi-systems/shinobi:dev

Ninja Way - Docker Edition

This method uses docker-compose. This will build your container from the images hosted on Gitlab. We no longer use Docker Hub and will not in the foreseeable future.

bash <(curl -s https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi-Installer/raw/master/shinobi-docker.sh)

Once complete open port 8080 of your Docker host in a web browser.

"Run" Way

Installing Shinobi

Please remember to check out the Environment Variables table further down this README.

docker run -d --name='Shinobi' --memory=2g -p '8080:8080/tcp' -p '21:21/tcp' -v "$HOME/ShinobiDatabase":'/var/lib/mysql':'rw' -v "$HOME/Shinobi":'/home/Shinobi':'rw' registry.gitlab.com/shinobi-systems/shinobi:dev

From Source

Image is based on Ubuntu Bionic (20.04). Node.js 12 is used. MariaDB and FFmpeg are included.

1. Download Repo

git clone -b dev https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi.git ShinobiSource

2. Enter repository.

cd ShinobiSource

3. Build Image.

docker build --tag shinobi-image:1.0 .

Running on ARM32v7? Run this instead.

docker build -f Dockerfile.arm32v7 --tag shinobi-image:1.0 .

4. Create a container with the image.

This command only works on Linux because of the temporary directory used. This location must exist in RAM. -v "/dev/shm/shinobiStreams":'/dev/shm/streams':'rw'. The timezone is also acquired from the host by the volume declaration of -v '/etc/localtime':'/etc/localtime':'ro'.

docker run -d --name='Shinobi' --memory=2g -p '8080:8080/tcp' -p '21:21/tcp' -v "$HOME/ShinobiDatabase":'/var/lib/mysql':'rw' -v "$HOME/Shinobi":'/home/Shinobi':'rw' shinobi-image:1.0

Host mount paths have been updated in this document.

Volumes

Volumes	Description
$HOME/Shinobi	Maps to the /home/Shinobi folder for the customAutoLoad, plugins, and videos folders inside and other files. Additionally you can edit the conf.json and super.json here.
$HOME/ShinobiDatabase	A map to /var/lib/mysql in the container. This is the database's core files.

Environment Variables

Environment Variables have been disabled. You must now make changes in the conf.json itself when it is mounted on the host. If conf.json does not exist inside the mounted folder then you may create it and Shinobi will use that on next container start.

You must add (to the docker container) /config/ssl/server.key and /config/ssl/server.cert. The /config folder is mapped to $HOME/Shinobi/config on the host by default with the quick run methods. Place key and cert in $HOME/Shinobi/config/ssl. If SSL_ENABLED=true and these files don't exist they will be generated with openssl.

The Docker image will create the DB_DATABASE under the specified connection information.

Power Video Viewer Blank or Not working

This seems to be an issue with using Docker on some linux OS' like Arch Linux. It is uncertain what the specific issue is but for now please use Docker on a consumer or enterprise supported distribution of linux, like Ubuntu 20.04.

Tips

Modifying conf.json or Superuser credentials.

Please read Volumes table in this README. conf.json is for general configuration. super.json is for Superuser credential management.
