linuxserver/babybuddy
Babybuddy is a buddy for babies! Helps caregivers track sleep, feedings, diaper changes, tummy time and more to learn about and predict baby's needs without (as much) guess work.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Application Setup
Access the webui at <your-ip>:8000
(or whichever host port is mapped in docker arguments). The default user/pass are admin:admin
.
By default BabyBuddy uses sqlite3. To use an external database like postgresql or mysql/mariadb instead, you can use the environment variables listed in BabyBuddy docs.
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
click here for more info)
docker-compose (recommended,---
version: "2.1"
services:
babybuddy:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy
container_name: babybuddy
environment:
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- /path/to/appdata:/config
ports:
- 8000:8000
restart: unless-stopped
click here for more info)
docker cli (docker run -d \
--name=babybuddy \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 8000:8000 \
-v /path/to/appdata:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy
Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 8000 |
the port for the web ui |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
-v /config |
Contains all relevant configuration and data. |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it babybuddy /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f babybuddy
- container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' babybuddy
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull
- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull babybuddy
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d babybuddy
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
- Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy
- Stop the running container:
docker stop babybuddy
- Delete the container:
docker rm babybuddy
- Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once babybuddy
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-babybuddy.git
cd docker-babybuddy
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/babybuddy:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
