This is minidlna on top of minimal debian distibution. It can be configured with environment variables.

I wanted to make sure my DLNA was running all the time, so I placed a script in the repo called Check_Media_Minidlna.sh If you place this in your crontab it will keep your minidlna podman running and make sure it has your media directories up to date. Runs every 5 minutes.

0/5 * * * * /home/pi/projects/podman-minidlna/Check_Media_Minidlna.sh

start_podman.sh stop_podman.sh run.sh

modify start_podman.sh and Prefix any config directive of minidlna with MINIDLNA_ and run your container:

podman run -d \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --net=host \
    -v /media/pi/mediafiles:/media \
    --name minidlna \
    -e MINIDLNA1_MEDIA_DIR=V,/media/Movies \
    -e MINIDLNA2_MEDIA_DIR=V,/media/TV \
    -e MINIDLNA3_MEDIA_DIR=A,/media/Music \
    -e MINIDLNA_PORT=8200 \
    MINIDLNA_FRIENDLY_NAME="MINIDLNAROCKS" \
    minidlna:latest

The setup above assumes I have an automounted disk called mediafiles with the root folder of Movies, TV, Music, and 3D.

when modifying your config make sure you change the type of data V=video A=Music P=Pictures

this is a derivative of https://github.com/bobrik/docker-minidlna, but with a lot of changes... mainly not docker anymore
