Cannot start docker container

[tycho40]

Hello!
I'm trying to deploy this in Portainer on my Synology DS920+ running the latest DSM7. Here's the compose command I'm using:

services:
  icloud-photos-sync:
    container_name: icloud-photos-sync
    image: steilerdev/icloud-photos-sync:latest
    network_mode: bridge
    user: 1026:100
    environment:
      - APPLE_ID_USER="my email"
      - APPLE_ID_PWD=${APPLE_ID_PWD}
      - TZ=America/Chicago
      - SCHEDULE=30 3 * * * # Runs every day at 3:30 am
      - ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING=true
    ports:
      - 9100:80
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/icloud-photos-sync:/opt/icloud-photos-library
    restart: unless-stopped

And here is the output of my logs:

/bin/sh: hostname: not found
/bin/sh: head: not found

I could really use some help, please. Thank you!

Binding to ports <1024 is restricted to the root user in Linux. Since the container is running as 1026:100 binding to the default port (80) fails - can you try specifying another port >1024 - like 9100 - by using the environment variable PORT `(https://icps.steiler.dev/user-guides/cli/#port):

services:
  icloud-photos-sync:
    container_name: icloud-photos-sync
    image: steilerdev/icloud-photos-sync:latest
    network_mode: bridge
    user: 1026:100
    environment:
      - APPLE_ID_USER="my email"
      - APPLE_ID_PWD=${APPLE_ID_PWD}
      - TZ=America/Chicago
      - SCHEDULE=30 3 * * * # Runs every day at 3:30 am
      - ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING=true
      - PORT=9100
    ports:
      - 9100:9100
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/icloud-photos-sync:/opt/icloud-photos-library
    restart: unless-stopped

(You also need to update the docker port mapping)

Sorry for taking so long to reply -- busy with the holidays.

So I did as you said, and it worked!! Then I had to spend some time figuring out how to escape special characters in my password, and I got that working as well.

Finally, all that leaves is my last question. What is the best method you'd recommend for syncing multiple iCloud accounts? Just run separate Docker containers for each account, with their own separate folders? Or can the same Docker instance backup multiple accounts?

Thanks again for all your help!

[steilerDev]

Each container instance can only sync one library - I would simply spin up additional containers for this use case.

Maybe try and schedule the sync operations in a way that they don't execute at the same time (since Apple seems to rate limit operations at some point, running two syncs at the same time might be a problem)

Ok, that makes perfect sense. Thank you again for all your patience and help!
