docker-couchpotato

Ansible Galaxy role to manage and run a couchpotato docker container.

This role wires together the couchpotato docker container created by linuxserver, along with various boilerplate to get things going.

Requirements

This role has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and will likely only work on an Ubuntu-like system. You will also need a functioning docker environment and a recent-is version of docker-py for this role to work.

If you have neither and would like ansible to set this up for you, have a look at the marvinpinto.docker Galaxy role.

Role Variables

# Docker container name
docker_couchpotato_container_name: 'couchpotato'

# Couchpotato host port
docker_couchpotato_exposed_port: '5050'

# Directory that will be used as the root of all couchpotato-related
# configuration & data. Note that these sub-directories *will* be automatically
# created if they don't already exist.
#
# So, assuming 'docker_couchpotato_mounted_directory' is set to:
# /tmp/couchpotato_mount, the following directories will be created
# automatically:
#
# /tmp/couchpotato_mount/config
# /tmp/couchpotato_mount/raw_movie_downloads
# /tmp/couchpotato_mount/movies
docker_couchpotato_mounted_directory: '/tmp/couchpotato_mount'

Examples

Install this module from Ansible Galaxy into the './roles' directory:

ansible-galaxy install marvinpinto.docker-couchpotato -p ./roles

Use it in a playbook as follows:

- hosts: '127.0.0.1'
  roles:
    - role: 'marvinpinto.docker-couchpotato'
      become: true

Mounted Directory

The reasoning behind storing all related configuration in the docker_couchpotato_mounted_directory root directory is because a person now has the ability to manage all the configuration + data outside of Ansible.

This becomes especially useful when said mounted directory resides on a separate filesystem (EBS, USB disk, etc).
