Docker installs Emby happy version to realize hardware decoding and film source search

1. Install docker on Synology NAS

1. First, Synology needs to install the docker package. If it is not installed, please install docker in the package center.

2. After installing docker, a docker directory will be automatically generated in the file station. Please create an emby folder in the docker directory to store the emby configuration.

3. Grant everyone permission to the Emby folder. This step is very important and must be done.

Right-click the emby folder → Properties → Permissions → Add → User Group (Everyone) → Permissions (select all) → Complete

4. Use the same method to create a new video shared folder and set permissions

2. Install Emby with docker

1. Enable SSH function on Synology NAS

Synology Control Panel→Terminal and SNMP→Check Enable SSH function, and then click Apply.

2. Use the SSH terminal tool to log in to Synology

3. After logging in to Synology, the interface is as follows

4. Enter sudo-i, hit Enter, and then enter the password (the password is not displayed) to obtain root permissions.

5. Enter the following command to first determine whether Synology has a core display driver. If you use a CPU with a core display for the white skirt, you can ignore this step. For the black skirt, please enter this command to check whether the core display driver is successful.

ls -la /dev/dri

6. When the following picture appears, the core display has been successfully driven.

7. Enter the following command to give all users executable permissions for the /dev/dri file.

chmod a+x /dev/dri

8. Enter the following command to create a container. (The command can be completely copied to mine. Later, we can modify the personalized configuration through the graphical interface.)

docker command

compose command

docker run -d \
  --name emby \
  --network host \
  --restart always \
  --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
  -v /volume1/docker/emby:/config \
  -v /volume1/video:/video \
  -e UID=0 \
  -e GID=0 \
  -e GIDLIST=0 \
  --privileged \
  amilys/embyserver:latest

services:
  Emby:
    image: amilys/embyserver:latest
    container_name: emby
    network_mode: host
    restart: always
    privileged: true
    environment:

If you need to call the NVIDIA graphics card driver, you need to use the following command

docker command

compose command

docker run -itd \
  --name emby \
  --network host \
  --restart always \
  --privileged \
  --runtime=nvidia \
  -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \
  -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all \
  -v /volume1/docker/emby:/config \
  -v /volume1/video:/video \
  -e UID=0 \
  -e GID=0 \
  -e GIDLIST=0 \
  amilys/embyserver:latest

version: '3.8'

services:
  Emby:
    image: amilys/embyserver:latest
    container_name: emby
    network_mode: host
    restart: always
    privileged: true
    runtime: nvidia
    environment:

    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/emby:/config
      - /volume1/video:/video

9. Click Enter to execute the command. Text similar to what I marked in red appears, which means the command was executed successfully.

10. The SSH side configuration has been completed. Now we can close the SSH tool. Remember to uncheck the startup SSH tool for security reasons.

3. Emby server-side settings

NO_PROXY=172.17.0.1,127.0.0.1,localhost
HTTP_PROXY=http://192.168.31.2:7890
ALL_PROXY=http://192.168.31.2:7890

1. After the media library is added, emby will automatically scan the relevant folder data. At this time, click on the homepage and you will see the relevant videos (the scanning and search time depends on the number of video files)
