So I've been monitoring the headless Kodi client development for sometime, as it's exactly what I want. I've got a Synology NAS which, just yesterday, has now had it's firmware updated to DSM 5.2. Nothing huge, other than the fact it now supports docker.

Loaded up Kodi headless Helix (sparklyballz version) and it seemed to load in, create the image and container, but can't for the love of me how to access the web gui.

Does anyone have any advice they can give me to get this working?

I've got it working on my Synology DS1511 using that version (BTW nice job Sparklyballz).

There's a few things you need to set up on the Synology Docker UI. Click the 'Edit' button on the 'Container' tab and...
1. On the 'Basic Options' tab, click '+' to add a port mapping. The default web port is 8080, so I made a mapping from local port 8008 to container port 8080 to avoid any conflicts with my NAS.
2. On the 'Environment Variables' tab, add the login settings for your MySQL database; these variables are named 'MYSQLip', 'MYSQLport', 'MYSQLuser', 'MYSQLpass'.
3. On the 'Volume' tab, you might want to add a mount for the Thumbnails if you're using a shared folder across all your PCs.

Incidentally, the default login / pass to the web interface is 'xbmc'/'xbmc'.

This is likely enough if you're using the default database names (eg. MyVideo##). Unfortunately in my case, I have non-standard names as a result of following this guide, and had to SSH into the container and make manual adjustments.

I also have a synology NAS and running docker.
How do you enter the kodi container by SSH?
I tried port forwarding but when i connect my SSH connection is simply not accepted

Also i have on all my kodi clients a sources.xml with the correct paths to my media (located on the nas), how do i set this in kodi headless (in docker on a synology nas)?

I do have the media vissible on the web interface, but i don;t understand how this headless version scan for new media and where it scans, i cannot set this?
Does it scan automaticly using cron/intervals or more like watchdog?

Who can explain how this works and how to set this?
