linuxserver/manyfold

Manyfold is an open source, self-hosted web application for managing a collection of 3D models, particularly focused on 3D printing.

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/manyfold: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-<version tag>
arm64	✅	arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf	❌

Application Setup

This container requires a separate Redis/Valkey instance to run. Sqlite is supported but we recommend an external Postgres or MariaDB database for better performance.

To generate keys for SECRET_KEY_BASE you can run docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash lscr.io/linuxserver/manyfold:latest generate-secret.

You don't have to use /libraries and you're not limited to a single path, you can mount as many arbitrary paths as you like as long as you make sure the permissions match the user running the container.

For more information check out the Manyfold documentation.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

services:
  manyfold:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/manyfold:latest
    container_name: manyfold
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=manyfold \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e DATABASE_URL= \
  -e REDIS_URL= \
  -e SECRET_KEY_BASE= \

  -v /path/to/manyfold/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/libraries:/libraries `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/manyfold:latest

Parameters

Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> 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 3214	Port for web frontend
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Etc/UTC	specify a timezone to use, see this list.
-e DATABASE_URL=	Database connection URL. For sqlite use sqlite3:/config/manyfold.sqlite3. For postgres or mariadb use <scheme>://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port>/<db name> where <scheme> is postgresql or mysql2. Special characters in username/password must be URL encoded.
-e REDIS_URL=	Redis/Valkey database URL in redis://<hostname>:<port>/<db number> format.
-e SECRET_KEY_BASE=	Browser session secret. Changing it will terminate all active browser sessions.
-v /config	Persistent storage for application configuration data.
-v /libraries	Location of your 3D model libraries.

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable

Will set the environment variable MYVAR based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable 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.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id your_user as below:

id your_user

Example output:

uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)

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 manyfold /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:

  docker logs -f manyfold

• Container version number:

  docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' manyfold

• Image version number:

  docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/manyfold: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 (noted in the relevant readme.md), 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 images:

  • All images:

    docker-compose pull

  • Single image:

    docker-compose pull manyfold

• Update containers:

  • All containers:

    docker-compose up -d

  • Single container:

    docker-compose up -d manyfold

• You can also remove the old dangling images:

  docker image prune

Via Docker Run

• Update the image:

  docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/manyfold:latest

• Stop the running container:

  docker stop manyfold

• Delete the container:

  docker rm manyfold

• 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

Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)

Tip

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:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-manyfold.git
cd docker-manyfold
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t lscr.io/linuxserver/manyfold:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware and vice versa using lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static

docker run --rm --privileged lscr.io/linuxserver/qemu-static --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
