jlesage/vlc repository overview

⁠Docker container for VLC

This project provides a lightweight and secure Docker container for VLC⁠.

Access the application's full graphical interface directly from any modern web browser - no downloads, installs, or setup required on the client side - or connect with any VNC client.

The web interface also offers audio playback, seamless clipboard sharing, an integrated file manager and terminal for accessing the container's files and shell, desktop notifications, and more.

VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

⁠Quick Start

NOTE: The Docker command provided in this quick start is an example, and parameters should be adjusted to suit your needs.

Launch the VLC docker container with the following command:

docker run -d \
    --name=vlc \
    -p 5800:5800 \
    -v /docker/appdata/vlc:/config:rw \
    -v /home/user:/storage:ro \
    jlesage/vlc

Where:

• /docker/appdata/vlc: Stores the application's configuration, state, logs, and any files requiring persistency.
• /home/user: Contains files from the host that need to be accessible to the application.

Access the VLC GUI by browsing to http://your-host-ip:5800. Files from the host appear under the /storage folder in the container.
