Lychee is a free photo-management tool, which runs on your server or web-space. Installing is a matter of seconds. Upload, manage and share photos like from a native application. Lychee comes with everything you need and all your photos are stored securely.
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 linuxserver/lychee 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 |
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker create \
--name=lychee \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 80:80 \
-v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
-v </path/to/pictures>:/pictures \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/lychee
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2"
services:
lychee:
image: linuxserver/lychee
container_name: lychee
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
- </path/to/pictures>:/pictures
ports:
- 80:80
restart: unless-stopped
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 80 |
http gui |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
-v /config |
Contains all relevant configuration files. |
-v /pictures |
Where lychee will store uploaded data. |
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Setup mysql/mariadb and account via the webui, accessible at http://SERVERIP:PORT

- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it lychee /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f lychee - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lychee
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/lychee
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:
- Update the image:
docker pull linuxserver/lychee - Stop the running container:
docker stop lychee - Delete the container:
docker rm lychee - Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - Start the new container:
docker start lychee - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull lychee
- 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 lychee
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- 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 lychee - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
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-lychee.git
cd docker-lychee
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t linuxserver/lychee: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.
