Install on Unraid

Deploy CrossWatch on Unraid using the Docker UI.

Unraid makes this easy via the Docker tab.

We do not provide support for installing or troubleshooting container runtimes.

These pages assume Docker (or your NAS container manager) is already installed and working.

If Docker itself is broken, use your platform docs first.

The install guides are provided for reference only.

What you need

• Unraid with Docker enabled.

• An appdata path to persist CrossWatch state.

Do not run without the /config volume. You will lose state when the container is recreated.

Install

1. Go to Docker → Add Container.

2. Repository: ghcr.io/cenodude/crosswatch:latest.

3. Name: crosswatch.

4. Port mapping:

   • Container port 8787 → Host port 8787

5. Add a path mapping:

   • Container path: /config

   • Host path: /mnt/user/appdata/crosswatch

6. Add environment:

   • TZ=UTC

7. Restart policy: unless-stopped.

Open http://<unraid-ip>:8787.

Updating

• Docker tab → crosswatch → Force Update.

Permissions for /config

If state files don’t persist, confirm your /config mapping points to appdata.

Next steps

• Continue with First-time setup.
