How to change Zappiti cloud server to a local server on a NAS?

To change from Zappiti cloud server to a local Zappiti server on your NAS using Docker, follow these steps:

1. Install Docker on your NAS:

   Make sure Docker is installed and running on your NAS device. You can usually find Docker in the package center or app store of your NAS device. Install it if it’s not already installed.

2. Obtain Zappiti Server Docker image:

   Visit the official Zappiti Server Docker repository on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/r/zappiti/zappiti-server/) and follow the instructions to pull the image. You can pull the image using the following command:

   bashCopy code

   docker pull zappiti/zappiti-server

3. Configure and run the Zappiti Server Docker container:

   Create a new container using the Zappiti Server Docker image. Make sure to configure the container according to your needs, such as setting the correct volume mounts for your media library and configuration files.

   Here’s a sample Docker run command:

   bashCopy code

   docker run -d --name zappiti-server \
-p 8888:8888 \
-v /path/to/your/media/folder:/media \
-v /path/to/your/config/folder:/config \
zappiti/zappiti-server


   Replace /path/to/your/media/folder and /path/to/your/config/folder with the appropriate paths on your NAS.

4. Configure Zappiti Media Center to use the local Zappiti Server:

   Open the Zappiti Media Center application on your device (TV, PC, mobile, etc.) and follow these steps:

   a. Go to Settings (usually represented by a gear icon). b. Select “Zappiti Server” or “Server Settings.” c. Choose “Manual configuration” or “Custom server” and enter the local IP address of your NAS device along with the port number (e.g., 192.168.1.100:8888). d. Save the settings and restart the Zappiti Media Center application.

5. Verify that the local Zappiti Server is running:

   Open the Zappiti Media Center application, and you should see your media library managed by the local Zappiti Server on your NAS. If everything is set up correctly, your media should appear, and you can start using your local Zappiti Server.

Note: These instructions are a general guide and may differ slightly depending on your specific NAS device and its interface. Always refer to the official documentation for your NAS and the Zappiti Server Docker repository for the most up-to-date information.

To set up the Zappiti Server Docker container using Portainer on your Synology NAS, follow these steps:

1. Install Docker and Portainer on your Synology NAS:

   If you haven’t already, install Docker from the Package Center in your Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM). Next, install the Portainer app by following the instructions here: https://www.portainer.io/installation/

2. Access Portainer:

   Once Portainer is installed and running, open a web browser and navigate to http://<your-synology-ip-address>:9000. Log in or create a new user, if prompted.

3. Download the Zappiti Server Docker image:

   a. On the Portainer dashboard, click on “Images” in the left-hand menu. b. In the “Pull an image” section, enter zappiti/zappiti-server and click on the “Pull the image” button. Wait for the download to complete.

4. Configure and deploy the Zappiti Server container:

   a. Click on “Containers” in the left-hand menu. b. Click on the “Add container” button. c. Fill in the following fields:

   • Name: Enter a name for the container (e.g., zappiti-server).
   • Image: Enter zappiti/zappiti-server. d. In the “Ports” section, click on the “Add port” button and map the following ports:
   • Host: 8888, Container: 8888, Protocol: TCP e. In the “Volumes” section, click on the “Map additional volume” button and map the following volumes:
   • Container: /media, Host: /path/to/your/media/folder
   • Container: /config, Host: /path/to/your/config/folder

   Replace /path/to/your/media/folder and /path/to/your/config/folder with the appropriate paths on your Synology NAS.

   f. Click on the “Deploy the container” button to create and start the Zappiti Server container.

5. Configure Zappiti Media Center to use the local Zappiti Server:

   Open the Zappiti Media Center application on your device (TV, PC, mobile, etc.) and follow these steps:

   a. Go to Settings (usually represented by a gear icon). b. Select “Zappiti Server” or “Server Settings.” c. Choose “Manual configuration” or “Custom server” and enter the local IP address of your Synology NAS along with the port number (e.g., 192.168.1.100:8888). d. Save the settings and restart the Zappiti Media Center application.

6. Verify that the local Zappiti Server is running:

   Open the Zappiti Media Center application, and you should see your media library managed by the local Zappiti Server on your Synology NAS. If everything is set up correctly, your media should appear, and you can start using your local Zappiti Server.

Note: These instructions are a general guide and may differ slightly depending on your specific Synology NAS and its interface. Always refer to the official documentation for your NAS and the Zappiti Server Docker repository for the most up-to-date information.
