Deprecated

This image is no longer actively maintained or built.

Reason: Upstream is no longer maintained.

Migration:

Stop overseerr, copy /containers/overseerr → /containers/seerr, deploy seerr — it auto-migrates config.

Use seerr instead

Migrate to seerr, which replaces this image.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

Experimental

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.
