Docker Compose is the recommended installation method on Linux. It is a zero maintenance installation method, consider using that instead.


  1. Install Docker if necessary. The following steps assume you added your user to the docker group.
  2. Install Watchtower. This will handle autoupdates of Scrypted.
docker run -d \
  --name watchtower \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  containrrr/watchtower:latest \
  --interval 3600 --cleanup
  1. Run the following in Terminal to install Scrypted:
docker run -d \
  --name scrypted \
  --network host \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -v ~/.scrypted:/server/volume \
  koush/scrypted:latest

Scrypted is now running at: https://localhost:10443/

Note that it is https and that you'll be asked to approve/ignore the website certificate.
