DEPRECATION NOTICE
This image is deprecated. We will not offer support for this image and it will not be updated.
linuxserver/tester
This internal tool is used as a desktop sandbox in our CI process to grab a screenshot of a hopefully functional endpoint
Supported Architectures
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/tester:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Available | Tag |
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\ | | arm64 | ❌ | | | armhf | ❌ | |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)
docker cli (click here for more info)
Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate : respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
| -p 3000 | WebUI | | -e URL=http://google.com | Specify an endpoint, the container will automatically determine the correct protocol and program to use |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it tester /bin/bash • To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f tester • container version number • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' tester • image version number • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/tester:latest
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
• Update all images: docker-compose pull • or update a single image: docker-compose pull tester • Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d tester • You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
Via Docker Run
• Update the image: docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/tester:latest • Stop the running container: docker stop tester • Delete the container: docker rm tester • Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved) • You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
• Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run: • You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
• We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
