Install with one command
On a Linux machine with Docker, install highsea and start it with one command, and update it the same way.
Written for highsea 0.2.0-beta.3, and followed on Docker Engine 29.8 with Docker Compose 5.6.
On a Linux machine that already has Docker, one command installs highsea and starts it. It writes the same compose file as Install with Docker, so everything there applies afterwards.
Before you start
You need a 64-bit Linux machine with Docker Engine and its Compose plugin. The installer never installs Docker for you. If it's missing, follow Docker's own instructions first. On a Mac or Windows, use Install with Docker instead.
Install
curl -fsSL https://get.highsea.tv | shThe installer:
- checks that Docker and Compose are there and answering, and asks for your password through
sudowhen it needs to; - looks for graphics: Intel and AMD at
/dev/dri, and NVIDIA through NVIDIA's container toolkit; - writes
compose.yamlto/opt/highsea, with highsea's settings in/opt/highsea/configand your films in/opt/highsea/data; - makes the data folder yours, so highsea runs as you;
- starts highsea, waits until it's ready and prints the address to open.
Open that address to run setup.
Choose the folders
Your films probably live somewhere else. Give the installer the folder that holds downloads and the library, on one disk, so imports hardlink instead of copying:
curl -fsSL https://get.highsea.tv | sh -s -- --data /srv/data| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
--data FOLDER | The folder for downloads and the library, mounted as /data. Setup looks inside it for downloads and media/movies. |
--dir FOLDER | Where compose.yaml and highsea's settings go, instead of /opt/highsea. |
--version X.Y.Z | A version to stay on, instead of the newest stable release. |
--no-start | Writes compose.yaml and stops there, so you can read or change it first. |
--print-compose | Prints the compose file it would write, and does nothing else. |
Check the installer first
To read the script before running it, and check it's the one highsea publishes:
curl -fsSLO https://get.highsea.tv/install.sh
curl -fsSL https://get.highsea.tv/install.sh.sha256 | sha256sum -c
sh install.shUpdate
Run the same command again. The installer keeps your compose.yaml as it is, with any changes you made, pulls the image it names and restarts highsea. System › Updates tells you when there's a new release.
When something stops it
The installer says what it found and stops without changing anything:
- Docker isn't installed, or isn't answering: install or start it, then run the installer again.
- A container called highsea already exists: it came from another folder. Run the installer with
--dirand that folder to update it. - Something else is using port 3000: highsea's web page needs it. Stop the other program, or install with Docker and change the port.
- An NVIDIA card without NVIDIA's container toolkit: highsea installs and uses the processor. Hardware acceleration says how to add the toolkit.
