Guide for Dummies (like me ^^) #29
Description
Hi Eric! Great work! I appreciate it a lot!
Could you please make a little 5 to 10 commands setup guide to get your stuff to work on some popular linux distros? This would be great :D
I've done something like the following commands for my setup onto Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
# install docker and git
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y docker.io git
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
reboot
# install x11docker
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker
sudo cp x11docker/x11docker* /usr/bin/
sudo /usr/bin/x11docker --install
# pull the latest docker image
docker pull erichough/kodi:latest
# create dockerized kodi system service definition (you need to play a bit around with the settings of the [service] section to get this how you need it)
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/kodi.service
================================
[Unit]
Description=Dockerized Kodi
Requires=docker.service
After=network.target docker.service
[Service]
# Pulling the docker image before every service startup is not required as we've already pulled the image once. This also allows to fix the kodi-docker version, but also avoids that updates are pulled automatically.
#ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker pull erichough/kodi
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11docker --xorg --pulseaudio erichough/kodi
# I've decided to disable the restart option as long as I need to make changes to the service as kodi will always restart when you try exit it. You can enable this option if you got everything set up.
#Restart=always
KillMode=process
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
================================
# enable the kodi service, so it starts up automatically at boot
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable kodi
reboot
# the dockerized kodi should start automatically after the rebootI've already tested this approach, so you could put it to your github wiki or something like that ;)
Best wishes
