Docker-Compose SMB/CIFS mounts

Overview

Mounting a remote Windows share is possible with Docker, but requires a little more configuration.

Docker run

  PUID=$(id -u)
  PGID=$(id -g)

  # CONFIG_DIR - Where you settings are saved
  CONFIG_DIR=/config

  # CACHE_DIR - A tmpfs or and folder for temporary conversion files
  CACHE_DIR=/tmp/unmanic
  
  # CIFS Mount params
  REMOTE_IP=192.168.0.20
  PATH_TO_LIBRARY=/library
  USERNAME=user
  PASSWORD=password

  # First create the docker volume mounting the CIFS remote share
  docker volume create \
      --driver local \
      --opt type=cifs \
      --opt device=//${REMOTE_IP}${PATH_TO_LIBRARY} \
      --opt o=username=${USERNAME},password=${PASSWORD},vers=3.0,uid=${PUID},gid=${PGID} \
      --name cifs_mount

  # Now create the docker container using the created CIFS volume
  docker run -ti --rm \
      -e PUID=${PUID} \
      -e PGID=${PGID} \
      -p 8888:8888 \
      -v ${CONFIG_DIR}:/config \
      -v cifs_mount:/library \
      -v ${CACHE_DIR}:/tmp/unmanic \
      josh5/unmanic:latest

Docker-compose

  # Variables that will need to be changed:
  #     <PUID>                            -  User id for folder/file permissions
  #     <PGID>                            -  Group id for folder/file permissions
  #     <PATH_TO_CONFIG>                  -  Path where Unmanic will store config files
  #     <PATH_TO_ENCODE_CACHE>            -  Cache path for in-progress encoding tasks
  #     <REMOTE_IP>                       -  Remote IP address of CIFS mount
  #     <PATH_TO_LIBRARY>                 -  Path in remote machine to be mounted as your library 
  #     <USERNAME>                        -  Remote mount username
  #     <PASSWORD>                        -  Remote mount password
