Logitech Media Server

→ Installation

Logitech provide a docker file

The docker compose way is the best:

version: '3'
services:
  lms:
    container_name: lms
    image: lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver
    volumes:
      - /<somewhere>:/config:rw
      - /<somewhere>:/music:ro
      - /<somewhere>:/playlist:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
    ports:
      - 9000:9000/tcp
      - 9090:9090/tcp
      - 3483:3483/tcp
      - 3483:3483/udp
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    restart: always

Then with systemd it is easy to make it start at system startup.

→ Security

It is possible to add a basic auth. It is however a weak protection.

→ Firewall

This will restrict access to LMS ports to local network only.
