What did you try and what specifically are you having issues with?

the directions for docker are not clear

Yea, I'm not looking to explain how to use docker or docker-compose. There are any number of use cases that I can't anticipate and there are better resources available than I care to rewrite here. Either way, hopefully this can help get you on the right path. Best of luck!

Observations:

• Your command doesn't seem at all related to mnamer, I assume that's for some other service in your docker-compose file.
• I notice that you're using restart: unless-stopped. Just want to make sure that you know that this service isn't a deamon, its run once then exists.
• It's not clear why you are passing all these options as environment variables.

Suggestions:

• Either use a config file and pass that as a volume mount or override command which is what gets passed to mnamer.
• Use docker-compose run to test out your settings, e.g. docker-compose run --rm mnamer <arguments...>.

Examples:

Not tested.

# using a config file
mnamer:
    image: jkwill87/mnamer
    volumes:
        - /media/movies:/mnt/movies
        - /media/episodes:/mnt/episodes
        - mnamer-config.json:/mnt/.mnamer-v2.json

# overriding command
mnamer:
    image: jkwill87/mnamer
    volumes:
        - /media/movies:/mnt/movies
        - /media/episodes:/mnt/episodes
    command: --batch --episode-directory=/mnt/episodes --movie-directory=/mnt/movies --movie-format='{name} ({year}){extension}'

Correction to the command argument (--movie-directory should be singular):
--movie-directory=/mnt/movies

[gingerbeardman]

I'm running with a Task Scheduler script as follows:

cd /volume1/video/Scripts
docker-compose run --rm mnamer -b -r /mnt/new --episode-directory=/mnt/episodes --movie-directory=/mnt/movies

in /volume1/video/Scripts I have docker-compose.yml:

mnamer:
    image: jkwill87/mnamer
    volumes:
        - /volume1/video/Movies:/mnt/movies
        - /volume1/video/TV:/mnt/episodes
        - /volume1/video/_New:/mnt/new

I guess I could combine into one config docker-compose.yml but to be honest I stopped as soon as I got it working. This setup was exhausting.

This prevents errors that the "Docker container stopped unexpectedly" in the DSM notifications.

[gingerbeardman]

Yes, I can try to help!

[aniel300]

do u use docker and docker compose ?

[gingerbeardman]

Yes, both. How? See above snippets.

If you get stuck you need to give me the steps you did up until you hit the problem.
