Docker TVHeadend on Debian Trixie cant reach TVHeadend UI

[Starfoxfs]

Hi,

i have a fresh installed Debian Trixie RaspiOS with Docker TVHeadend Container (also fresh installed). I have disabled UFW Firewall but i cant reach the localhost:9981 Adress

In Bookworm it worked fine with the same Docker Compose Stack:

version: "3.1" name: "tvheadend" services: tvheadend: image: linuxserver/tvheadend:latest container_name: tvheadend network_mode: host environment: - PUID=1000 #Replace with your UID - PGID=1000 #Replace with your GID - TZ=Europe/Berlin volumes: - /home/docker/tvheadend2:/config - /home/docker/tvheadend2/recordings:/recordings logging: driver: json-file restart: unless-stopped

tvheadend Log:

I have tried also this more simple Docker Compose:
services: tvheadend: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/tvheadend:latest container_name: tvheadend environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/Berlin volumes: - /home/docker/tvheadend2/data:/config - /home/docker/tvheadend2/recordings:/recordings ports: - 9981:9981 - 9982:9982 restart: unless-stopped

It wont work, CPU goes up to 50% usage if i add TVHeadend Docker Container

e.g. it depends on this bug ? : tvheadend/tvheadend#1808

[j0nnymoe]

What if you try hostip:9981 instead?

[Starfoxfs]

Nothing its unreachable and cpu goes up to 50%

I have tried my hostip:9981, also 127.0.0.1:9981.

I have tried Network Host Mode also with both and disabled all Firewalls, nothing

It seems TVHeadend hangs up, i have posted above a Bug e.g. thats it ? The libpcre3 is not present in Debian Trixie

There are new Builds From TVHeadend especially for Trixie, is this implented in the Docker Container ?

[j0nnymoe]

I hope you replaced the hostip with your actual IP rather than just typing hostip.

No we wouldn't be using the Trixie specific builds because the container is currently based on alpine (with the view of likely moving to Ubuntu base image at some point).

[Starfoxfs]

Yes i have replaced it with my IP Adress

On Trixie the Container didnt work i dont know why

[Starfoxfs]

This hangs up:

/usr/bin/tvheadend -c -C /config

[Starfoxfs]

I have tested now the Host Installation of TVHeadend this works fine.

But the Docker didnt work always hangs up on the Process above /usr/bin/tvheadend -c -C /config

[j0nnymoe]

Until someone within the team has a Trixie host to test on, there is little we can do at the moment.

[Starfoxfs]

So long i can use the Host Install of TVHeadend and wait for a Bugfix of this

[Starfoxfs]

Found the Bug, but this cant be an Trixie only issue, in the Docker Container at executing Stage there is downloaded an "unknown.tar.bz2" these File is corrupt and has only 3,4KB.

See Log above before the was a TVHeadend-Version.tar.bz2 now its downloading always a unknown.tar.bz2

[j0nnymoe]

It is limited to trixie currently, the container starts fine in our build tests: https://ci-tests.linuxserver.io/linuxserver/tvheadend/latest/index.html

Closing this and lets move discussion over to the relevant repo issue: linuxserver/docker-tvheadend#272
