Docker Installation

Pre-Release Instructions

These instructions are not applicable while TCM is in pre-release. Please refer to here.

Docker is a very convenient way of compartmentalizing a piece of software (TitleCardMaker) from the rest of your host machine - like a very lightweight Virtual Machine. The TCM Container has the benefit of coming pre-packaged with all the required dependent software; making installation much easier and less error-prone.

For these reasons, Docker is the recommended installation method for all Operating Systems.

For UnRAID and Synology DSM users, there are OS-specific tutorials written to walk you through the installation process. All other systems should follow the standard tutorial. There is also a starter docker compose file.
