bizmodeller/mymediaforalexa repository overview

This is the multi-platform Docker image for My Media for Alexa - https://www.mymediaalexa.com⁠. It is recommended to use this image instead of the individual platform images found elsewhere in the bizmodeller repository. Note this multi-platform / multi-architecture image supports arm64 and armhf CPU architectures.

Please be aware of the following when running My Media for Alexa a container:

The My Media Docker image EXPOSE's two ports which must be mapped directly through to the same ports on your computer's IP address. These ports are tcp/52050 and tcp/52051. This is because My Media advertises its IP address and port so that it can be found by your Alexa devices and therefore the IP address and port must be accessible on your ethernet/wifi network and cannot be the internal NAT address/ports that Docker may configure.

Docker images are stateless - i.e. they should not store data that is going to change. My Media relies on maintaining configuration about your Media Server, watch folders, settings and also its database of indexed files. Additionally, Docker containers are by default protected from the rest of your file system, i.e. they cannot access any files outside of their chroot environment - including your media files! My Media obviously needs access to your music library in order to stream it. To deal with these needs, My Media for Alexa's Docker image exposes two volumes which need to be remapped when you run the container:

/datadir --> should be remapped to a directory that will hold My Media's stateful files - settings and database, etc /medialibrary --> should be remapped to a directory that holds the media you want to be indexed

If you need further information on port or volume remapping, please see the relevant Docker documentation.
