Installing Tvheadend using Docker/Portainer

1. Install OMV including OMV-Extras as well as Docker/Portainer as described in this video:

2. Install Tvheadend via a Portainer "Stack" (Docker Compose) which corresponds to a small configuration file for the Tvheadend container. You really don't have to do more. The stack automatically downloads the Tvheadend image and configures/starts the container accordingly. An explanation of the parameters can be found here: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-tvheadend

Here is my stack as an example where I pass through a TV card and a data partition for the TVheadend configuration and the recordings. I have OMV running on a SSD which I have divided into two partitions (16GB/200GB) with GParted. I use the second partition for the configuration and the recordings of Tvheadend. I just adjusted the time zone (TZ) and the "volumes" and "devices" sections to my needs.

  tvheadend:

    ports:
      - 9981:9981
      - 9982:9982
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri #optional
      - /dev/dvb/adapter0:/dev/dvb/adapter0 #optional
      - /dev/dvb/adapter1:/dev/dvb/adapter1 #optional
      - /dev/dvb/adapter2:/dev/dvb/adapter2 #optional
      - /dev/dvb/adapter3:/dev/dvb/adapter3 #optional
    restart: unless-stopped

Did you alter these lines to match with your disk's uuid and altered the recording path within the Tvheadend settings accordingly?

- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-f520377b-3bd7-4d92-90cf-5e23cc56c047/Tvheadend/config:/config
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-f520377b-3bd7-4d92-90cf-5e23cc56c047/Tvheadend/recordings:/recordings

Then try chmod 755 the recording directory if it has been successfully created.
