FYI: Successful Docker Installation

I was able to successfully get this working with Docker yesterday. A few setup details:

• Running on a Synology DS411+ii NAS
• NAS sits on same network as Kodi HTPC
  • Does not require opening Kodi up to to internet through port forwarding
• Let’s Encrypt certificate used
  • DDNS forwards my domain to local server
• Port forwarding from 443 on router to Docker container

Dockerfile

Build Command

docker build -t kodi-alexa .

version: "2"
services:

  kodi-alexa:
    container_name: kodi-alexa
    image: kodi-alexa
    ports:

    environment:

Where $TZ and $CONFIG are located in a .env file:

TZ=America/Los_Angeles
CONFIG=/volume1/docker

And /volume1/docker/kodi-alexa hs the fullchain.pem & privacy.pem from letsencrypt.

Docker Compose Command

docker-compose up -d Runs in daemon mode, creates container with proper

Conclusion

I hope these details help someone as a starting point. It proves that it is possible to run this through Docker. I do not plan on creating a pull-request for this, as I just wanted to try it out. In my testing, I found it to be too slow to respond for my usage (and the girlfriend approval factor).

Anyone up for actually documenting this and creating a PR?

Is there any headway with this? I’ve been trying to follow along, trying different combinations but have yet to get any successful docker image up and running.
