Now I got the docker version of sparklyballs running. I want in the docker via bash. I installed rtmpdump and ffmpeg. How do we start that docker via command line. I go into opt/kodi-server/bin/kodi it tells me install glvideo graphic card. Is there a way to run the docker headless. I use external players to send video to the clients. I got my setup working on a ubuntu desktop, and I'm trying to migrate the userdata from ubuntu, to the headless server.
Is there a way to start the kodi? indide the container?

Hi
Got it working by copying my advancedsettings.xml to the container. I didn't think I had to do this because this was being set via the Environment Variables? I could also see the container had taken the Environment Variables (MYSQLip etc.) ok as they showed up in the log.

Hi,
I have got the latest sparky helix version running today on Synology. I can access the web ui and see it connected up with mysql perfectly. I cannot get it to accept or update the library though. I use Sonarr to send update command which it seems to do but nothing gets updated. Any idea where to start looking (very new to docker)?
Running updates from any other kodi works fine. I did not add a sources.xml file to the headless kodi (didn't think it was needed).
Other question. This Kodi headless on my Synology does not seem to present itself as a Upnp library. I don't know if it is usefull at all though as I am already using the MySql option.
Thank you all for the great work. One step closer to a Kodi client/server solution.

I got a full kodi working in docker without modifying anything in kodi or library. I got it working with a virtual screen, a x screen or something. Its working great. But I guess it running really slow to boot in docker but after its ok. I just got it running with a script changing the autoexec.py in the userdata to start a command. I didnt figure out how to controle kodi with a distance.
Its running like a real server. I could run 2 kodi at the same time on the same docker running different streams.
This can be use, if you have the same stream going in a house, without downloading the same stream on different device. I was trying to get something to stream onces and share with others.

For those non-developers looking for a better way to share your library across multiple Kodis, DLNA, and even other devices and across the internet, do check out the Emby.media media server with the Kodi add-on. Headless kodi now! Thanks to cyberwizzard 's mention, i checked this out (after using XBMC/Kodi UPNP sharing for years), installed and converted all of my Kodi installation to use the Emby server backend. Perfect! Best of both worlds.
