# BattybirdNET-Pi Docker Installation Guide
I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons
If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

This guide provides instructions on how to install and run the BattybirdNET-Pi container using Docker Compose without dependency on HomeAssistant.
_Note : For usage as an HomeAssistant addon, see [here](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/blob/master/battybirdnet-pi/README.md)_
Thanks to @gotschi for the initial Docker Compose
## Prerequisites
Ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
## Installation
1. **Create a directory for BattybirdNET-Pi**
```sh
mkdir -p ~/battybirdnet-pi && cd ~/battybirdnet-pi
```
2. **Create a `docker-compose.yml` file**
Create and open the file with:
```sh
nano docker-compose.yml
```
Copy and paste the following configuration:
```yaml
services:
battybirdnet-pi:
container_name: battybirdnet-pi
image: ghcr.io/alexbelgium/battybirdnet-pi-amd64:latest # or ghcr.io/alexbelgium/battybirdnet-pi-aarch64:latest depending on your system
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "8001:8081" # Used to access WebUI
- "80:80" # Optional: set to 80 to use Caddy's automatic SSL. Can otherwise be set to null to avoid opening an additional port
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Vienna # Optional: Set your timezone according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
- BIRDSONGS_FOLDER=/config/BirdSongs # Folder to store bird songs, be sure to use a path that is mapped to a volume (such as /config)
- LIVESTREAM_BOOT_ENABLED=false # Enable/disable livestream on boot
- ssl=false # Enable/disable SSL
- certfile=fullchain.pem # SSL certificate file (located in /ssl/)
- keyfile=privkey.pem # SSL key file (located in /ssl/)
- pi_password= # Optional: Set SSH user password
- MQTT_HOST_manual= # Optional: Manual MQTT host
- MQTT_PASSWORD_manual= # Optional: Manual MQTT password
- MQTT_PORT_manual= # Optional: Manual MQTT port
- MQTT_USER_manual= # Optional: Manual MQTT user
volumes:
- ./config:/config # All your configuration files - and location of the default Birdsongs folder
- ./ssl:/ssl # SSL certificates
- /dev/shm:/dev/shm # Shared memory
tmpfs:
- /tmp # Optional
```
3. **Start the Container**
Run the following command in the same directory as `docker-compose.yml`:
```sh
docker compose up -d
```
This will start the BattybirdNET-Pi container in detached mode.
4. **Access BattybirdNET-Pi Web UI**
Open your browser and navigate to:
```sh
http://localhost:8001 # Or whatever port you have configured
```
Replace `localhost` with your server's IP address if running on another machine.
## troubleshoot
If rtsp feed doesn't work, perhaps you need to add "-rtsp-transport tcp" to your ffmpeg instruction, or allow udp on your network
## Updating to the Latest Version
To check for new versions of the container and update:
1. **Check for the latest version**
Visit the container registry:
[https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/pkgs/container/battybirdnet-pi-amd64](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/pkgs/container/battybirdnet-pi-amd64)
The latest version tag (e.g., `2025.02.23`) will be listed.
2. **Update and restart the container**
Run the following commands:
```sh
docker compose pull battybirdnet-pi
docker compose up -d --force-recreate
```
This pulls the latest image and restarts the container.
3. **Verify the update**
```sh
docker images | grep battybirdnet-pi
```
This will show the latest downloaded image version.
## Stopping and Removing the Container
To stop and remove the container, run:
```sh
docker compose down
```
This will stop and remove BattybirdNET-Pi while keeping the configuration and recorded songs intact.
