Notes

User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command for the user you want to run the container as:-

id <username>

If your music collection is large you may have to increase the value for PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT (default value 2048 MB) and FASTCGI_READ_TIMEOUT (default value 6000 secs) in order to prevent running out of memory and/or timing out during the initial library scan.

If you appreciate my work, then please consider buying me a beer :D
