Docker image for ReadyMedia server

Overview

Docker container containing the media server ReadyMedia (previously MiniDLNA).

Usage

You can start the container like this:

docker volume create readymediacache
docker run --restart=unless-stopped -d --name=readymedia1 --net=host -v /my/video/path:/media -v readymediacache:/cache -e VIDEO_DIR1=/media/my_video_files ypopovych/readymedia
