Getting started

Docker Hub

You will need Docker installed on your system.

Important: You must map your source and destination folders to the same paths inside the container as on your host system. This ensures symlinks work correctly.

bash
docker run -d \ -v /path/to/source:/path/to/source \ -v /path/to/organized:/path/to/organized \ -v $(pwd)/config.json:/config/config.json \ itsmejoeeey/linkarr:latest

Or with Docker Compose:

yaml
services: my-linkarr: image: itsmejoeeey/linkarr:latest container_name: linkarr # Pass in your config file below, by specifying the path on your host machine volumes: - /path/to/source:/path/to/source - /path/to/organized:/path/to/organized - ./config.json:/config/config.json restart: unless-stopped

See Configuration for details on configuring.

  • Make sure to provide a valid config.json.
  • Replace /path/to/source and /path/to/organized with your actual media paths.

Running manually

  1. Install dependencies:

    bash
    python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Copy and edit the example config:

    bash
    cp config.example.json config.json # Edit config.json to match your source/destination folders and preferences
  3. Run the organizer:

    bash
    cd src python -m linkarr.main ../config.json

Configuration

See config.example.json and src/linkarr/config.schema.json for configuration options.
