get_iplayer is a BBC iPlayer/BBC Sounds Indexing Tool and PVR
Our images support multiple architectures and simply pulling ghcr.io/thespad/get_iplayer:latest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
---|---|---|
amd64 | ✅ | latest |
arm64 | ✅ | latest |
Webui is accessible at http://SERVERIP:PORT
Interact with the CLI via something like docker exec -it get_iplayer /app/get_iplayer/get_iplayer "hey duggee"

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended)
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 1935 |
Web GUI |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=America/New_York |
Specify a timezone to use EG America/New_York |
-e INCLUDERADIO= |
Set to true to pre-cache Radio (BBC Sounds) as well as TV shows |
-e BASEURL= |
Set to the full path of your proxied domain if using subfolders |
-e ENABLEIMPORT= |
Set to true to enable SonarrAutoImport. Place settings.json into the /config mount |
-v /config |
Contains all relevant configuration files. |
-v /downloads |
Storage location for all get_iplayer download files. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it get_iplayer /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f get_iplayer
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. We do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull
- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull get_iplayer
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d get_iplayer
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update the image:
docker pull ghcr.io/thespad/get_iplayer
- Stop the running container:
docker stop get_iplayer
- Delete the container:
docker rm get_iplayer
- Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/thespad/docker-get_iplayer.git
cd docker-get_iplayer
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t ghcr.io/thespad/get_iplayer:latest .
