Filebot is the ultimate tool for renaming and organizing your movies, TV shows and Anime.

Why a new Filebot Docker image?

Simple really, I had tried the Jocelyn Le Sage’s image which has an impressive number of configurable options but I was seeking a simplicity.

I did have it running on my Windows PC but my preference is to have it centralized on my Media Server without requiring a full desktop. Just enough X-Windows to do the job.

Docker

Available on DockerHub

docker pull alandoyle/filebot

Usage

docker run --name=filebot \
  -d --init \
  -v <MY_DATA_PATH>:/data \
  -v <MY_MEDIA_PATH>:/media \
  -p 80:8080/tcp \
  -p 5900:5900/tcp \
  alandoyle/filebot:latest

Docker compose example:

---
services:
  filebot:
    image: alandoyle/filebot:latest
    container_name: filebot
    restart: unless-stopped
    init: true
    ports:
      - 80:8080  # If you want to go filebot through a browser
      - 5900:5900  # If you want to use a VNC client instead of the browser
    volumes:
      - /Storage/Incoming:/media
      - ./data:/data
    environment:
      - RESOLUTION=1600x900 # Change resolution (default: 1366x768)
      # - VNC_PASSWORD=8charpwd
    restart: always
    shm_size: "1gb"
