Xteve installation

landtools · February 28, 2025, 9:14am

I need to install xteve on the server to pair it with plex but I can’t find a guide. Is there anyone who can help me?

you can use the custom yaml function and the yaml from this github and try to deploy it

github.com/taylorbourne/xteve_lazystream

docker-compose.yml

master

version: "3.7"

services:
  xteve_lazystream:
    image: taylorbourne/xteve_lazystream
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "34400:34400"
    volumes:
      - /var/data/xteve/.xteve:/xteve:rw
      - /var/data/xteve/config/:/config:rw
      - /var/data/xteve/guide2go/:/guide2go:rw
      - /var/data/xteve/playlists/:/playlists:rw
      - /tmp/xteve/:/tmp/xteve:rw
    env_file: .env

they also provide an example env file on the github

Edit: you of course have to adjust the storage paths, do not blindly copy&paste the above compose file

Hi and thanks for the reply… Help me fill in the fields. After clicking on “INSTALL VIA YAML” this window opens

Ok this is how i’d aproach it:

Choose on which pool the xteve data should live and create a dataset for it.
use the compose file linked above and adjust the paths to match the
datasets i created.
download the example .env file see if it needs to be edited and add another
mountpath for the .env file
fill in name field xteve
copy the adjusted composefile in the field custom config
hit save and see if the app deploys or if acls need to be adjusted on the
hostpaths.

I tried to copy the code… I know, I ventured without much luck

you haven’t read my first comment

you need to adjust the storage paths before hitting save

landtools · February 28, 2025, 2:06pm

unfortunately it’s something I’ve never done… I have to figure out how to change the path with the folder I created… isn’t there a simpler way??

i’m still at work right now, when i’m home in a couple of hours i can try to edit the compose file to make it more clear what you have to edit.

landtools · February 28, 2025, 2:46pm

Ok tnx

LarsR · February 28, 2025, 4:35pm

Ok i’ve taken a closer look at your compose file.
The storage paths look fine so far, apart from the space in your pool name, which may lead to problems.
Did you download the .env file and place it in the config dataset?
Have you taken a look at the lifecycle log for further debugging?

Hello,

If the compose file is a struggle for you - you can do it with a regular custom app this is how I did it). I used the repository of alturismo/xteve:

And you will need several host paths:

LarsR · February 28, 2025, 5:25pm

i’m not the one struggling, i was trying to help @landtools

landtools · February 28, 2025, 5:26pm

can i use this configuration, obviously changing the path of the folders?? does it work for you??

Dimitar_Chakarov · February 28, 2025, 5:26pm

yes, sorry - noticed and edited my post now

edit: @landtools - yes, it has been working for me for a looong time

landtools · February 28, 2025, 5:29pm

Kindly, can you give me a screenshot of the whole configuration?? Thanks

landtools · February 28, 2025, 5:30pm

where can i find this file ??

Dimitar_Chakarov · February 28, 2025, 5:34pm

There is not much else to it, but sure - here you are:

landtools · February 28, 2025, 5:36pm

ok, I’ll copy it exactly by modifying my paths and let’s see if it works
stay tuned
