Ubuntu release

Closed this issue · 7 comments

I've totally failed trying to make an Ubuntu build because I'm a absolutely noob.

Is there any chance that somebody could consider to make an Ubuntu Server pre-compiled version of this? It'd be very useful.

Thanks for this project.

Just use docker.

Why should I use a "virtualized" program when the native one is available?

Well the foremost reason is that it gives you exactly what you're asking for, an easy "installer" so you can be up and running with just a couple commands. An extended reason is that docker isn't virtualizing anything, it merely contains a subsystem so there's nearly no overhead in running something on docker as opposed to bare metal. Additionally running things in docker all but guarantee that updating something else won't end up breaking things you care about through some versioning problems.

The problem with running it on docker I have found though is DLNA simply doesn't work when emby is running in a container

That's true only if you use the default network. If you use host mode (not sure if I'm using the term correctly) then it works like normal. That's how I have mine.

If I knew how to package emby myself I would write the script to create the deb file but unfortunately everytime I try to build emby it errors.

Not adding dist packages to this repo. Feel free to open a PR to add a link to the README if someone takes care of it.
