Docker / Unraid

This repository also builds a Docker image for running Seanime as a self-hosted container, with support for Unraid.

This Docker image is community-maintained and is not an official Seanime container.

Docker image

ethxn/seanime:latest

A version-pinned image is also available:

ethxn/seanime:3.10.2-1

The image currently packages Seanime 3.10.2-Saisei.

Container configuration

Application data stored under /config is persistent and should be mapped to a host directory.

Example:

docker run -d \
  --name Seanime \
  -p 43211:43211 \
  -e SEANIME_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
  -v /path/to/seanime/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/anime:/anime \
  ethxn/seanime:latest

Unraid

An Unraid Docker template is included with this repository.

Recommended mappings:

/mnt/user/appdata/seanime -> /config
/path/to/your/anime       -> /anime

The WebUI is available at:

http://<UNRAID-IP>:43211

Media transcoding

FFmpeg is included in the container, so software transcoding works without installing FFmpeg on the host!

Hardware acceleration is optional and depends on the Docker host configuration. GPU devices and appropriate host drivers or runtimes must be made available to the container separately.

Embedded font attachments

This image currently contains a fix for FFmpeg attachment extraction when MKV font attachment filenames contain spaces. The change has been tested against media that failed with the original extraction behavior and is pending upstream review.
