filebot

The filebot command-line tool.

bash
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data rednoah/filebot -script fn:sysinfo

yml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
  filebot:
    container_name: filebot
    image: rednoah/filebot
    volumes:
      - ${HOME}/FileBot:/data
      - ${HOME}/path/to/files:/volume1

filebot-node

FileBot Node allows you to call the amc script via a simple web interface.

bash
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data -p 5452:5452 rednoah/filebot:node

yml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
  filebot-node:
    container_name: filebot-node
    image: rednoah/filebot:node
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${HOME}/FileBot:/data
      - ${HOME}/path/to/files:/volume1
    ports:
      - 5452:5452

Once the https://github.com/filebot/filebot-node is running, you can access the web interface via http://localhost:5452/filebot/. You can create prepared tasks via Execute ➔ Schedule and then execute them remotely via curl http://localhost:5452/task?id=${TASK_ID}.

You may secure the https://github.com/filebot/filebot-node by using HTTPS and BASIC authentication:

bash
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data -p 5452:5452 -e FILEBOT_NODE_AUTH=BASIC -e FILEBOT_NODE_AUTH_USER=YOUR_USERNAME -e FILEBOT_NODE_AUTH_PASS=YOUR_PASSWORD -p 5453:5453 -v /etc/ssl:/etc/ssl:ro -e FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS=YES -e FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS_PORT=5453 -e FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS_KEY=/etc/ssl/private/server.key -e FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS_CRT=/etc/ssl/certs/server.crt rednoah/filebot:node

yml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
  filebot-node:
    container_name: filebot-node
    image: rednoah/filebot:node
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /etc/ssl:/etc/ssl:ro
      - ${HOME}/FileBot:/data
      - ${HOME}/path/to/files:/volume1
    ports:
      - 5452:5452
      - 5453:5453
    environment:
      - FILEBOT_NODE_AUTH=BASIC
      - FILEBOT_NODE_AUTH_USER=YOUR_USERNAME
      - FILEBOT_NODE_AUTH_PASS=YOUR_PASSWORD
      - FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS=YES
      - FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS_PORT=5453
      - FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS_KEY=/etc/ssl/private/server.key
      - FILEBOT_NODE_HTTPS_CRT=/etc/ssl/certs/server.crt

filebot-watcher

The https://github.com/filebot/filebot-docker/blob/master/watcher/opt/bin/filebot-watcher command-line tool watches a given folder and executes the amc script on newly added files. Please read the manual for details and watch the video tutorial to see it in action.

bash
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data rednoah/filebot:watcher /volume1/input --output /volume1/output

The first argument $1 is the watch folder. The remaining arguments are amc script options.

yml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
  filebot:
    container_name: filebot-watcher
    image: rednoah/filebot:watcher
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${HOME}/FileBot:/data
      - ${HOME}/path/to/files:/volume1
    command: /volume1/input --output /volume1/output # see amc script usage

filebot-xpra

Run the FileBot Desktop application via xpra and make it remotely available at http://localhost:5454/.

bash
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data -p 5454:5454 -e XPRA_AUTH="password:value=YOUR_PASSWORD" rednoah/filebot:xpra

yml
# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
  filebot:
    container_name: filebot-xpra
    image: rednoah/filebot:xpra
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${HOME}/FileBot:/data
      - ${HOME}/path/to/files:/volume1
    ports:
      - 5454:5454
    environment:
      - XPRA_AUTH=password:value=YOUR_PASSWORD

!https://github.com/filebot/docs/raw/master/screenshots/docker-xpra.png If you have a Reverse Proxy that takes care of SSL and authentication, then you can disable authentication via -e XPRA_AUTH=none and disable remote access via -e XPRA_BIND=127.0.0.1.

FAQ

How do I activate my license?

You can activate your license by calling filebot --license from within the docker container.

bash
# Read License Key from Console Input
docker run --rm -it -v data:/data rednoah/filebot --license

bash
# Read License Key from License File
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data rednoah/filebot --license /volume1/T1000.psm

Your license will then be stored in -v data:/data (i.e. bind named persistent volume data as /data into the container file system) which is the persistent application data folder common to all FileBot docker containers. Please read https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/ for details.

How do I enter my OpenSubtitles login details?

You can enter your OpenSubtitles login details by calling filebot -script fn:configure from within the docker container.

bash
# Read login details from Console Input
docker run --rm -it -v data:/data rednoah/filebot -script fn:configure

bash
# Pass login details via Command-line Arguments
docker run --rm -it -v data:/data rednoah/filebot -script fn:configure --def osdbUser=USERNAME --def osdbPwd=PASSWORD

Your user settings will be stored in -v data:/data (i.e. bind named persistent volume data as /data into the container file system) which is the persistent application data folder common to all FileBot docker containers.

How to do I run the process inside the container as a different user?

You can set the environment variables PUID and PGID to run the process with the given UID:

bash
-e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000

yml
environment:
  - PUID=1000
  - PGID=1000

You may use PUID=0 to run as default root user or docker --user.

How do I start an interactive shell session inside the container?

You can use the --entrypoint option to run bash on startup:

$ docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/volume1" -v data:/data --entrypoint /bin/bash rednoah/filebot
root@61dcacb8146f:/# filebot -version
FileBot 4.9.6 (r9125)

Notes on --action MOVE and --action HARDLINK

docker treats each volume mount as a separate filesystem. Thus, if you are using --action MOVE or --action HARDLINK then the input path and the output path must be on the same volume mount. If you process files across volume mounts, then --action HARDLINK will fail with I/O error: cross-device link, and --action MOVE and --action DUPLICATE will resort to physically copying files.

Please organize your files like so, and then use /path/to/files as volume mount:

/path/to/files/input
/path/to/files/output

bash
-v /path/to/files:/volume1

yml
volumes:
  - /path/to/files:/volume1
