Docker

The same server runs in Docker on Linux, a NAS or anything else with Docker, with the same dashboard. Put the docker-compose.yml below in a folder, set the path to your games in it, then:

mkdir config && sudo chown 1000:1000 config
docker compose up -d

and open the dashboard at http://<the machine's address>:8360. Set a password for it on its Settings page (or with NETDISC_WEB_PASSWORD): without one, anyone on your network can open it and change its settings. docker compose logs -f shows the server’s log too.

It uses the image ghcr.io/marcusisdahl/netdisc360, published with each release for x86-64 and ARM64. To build it yourself instead, clone the repository and run docker compose up -d --build.

docker-compose.yml

The file’s comment “See “Docker” in README.md” refers to the settings on this page.

Settings

Setting	Default
volume `/games`		Your games (read-only is fine). Mount more folders under it, like `/games/isos`, or anywhere else and add them on the dashboard.
volume `/config`		The dashboard’s settings (`netdisc.ini`). It must be writable by user 1000:1000.
`NETDISC_WEB_PASSWORD`		The dashboard’s password. Or `NETDISC_WEB_PASSWORD_FILE` with the path of a Docker secret. Set this way, it can’t be changed on the dashboard.
`NETDISC_WEB_PORT`	8360	The dashboard’s port. `0`: no dashboard.
`NETDISC_XBOX`	every console that connects	Only these consoles’ game folders are kept up to date: IP addresses, separated by commas. Needed on Docker Desktop (Windows, macOS), where the server doesn’t see the consoles’ own addresses.
`NETDISC_FTP_USER`	`xboxftp`	Aurora’s FTP login.
`NETDISC_FTP_PASSWORD`	`xboxftp`	Or `NETDISC_FTP_PASSWORD_FILE` with the path of a Docker secret.
`NETDISC_NO_CATEGORY`		`true`: leave Aurora’s Xbox 360 category alone.
`NETDISC_NO_SCAN`		`true`: don’t ask Aurora to scan after changes.
`NETDISC_NO_PUSH`		`true`: only serve games; leave the console alone.
`NETDISC_XBOX_FOLDER`, `NETDISC_AURORA`	`/Hdd1/NetISO`, `/Hdd1/Apps/Aurora`	As `--xbox-folder` and `--aurora` (see the server’s options).
`NETDISC_PORT`, `NETDISC_FTP_PORT`	4323, 21
`NETDISC_VERBOSE`		`true`: log every request.
`TZ`	UTC	Your time zone, for the log’s times.

The variables from NETDISC_XBOX down are only the first start’s settings. Once the server has saved its settings in /config, what’s saved there wins, and you change them on the dashboard. (NETDISC_WEB_PASSWORD, the ports and NETDISC_VERBOSE always apply.)
The compose file uses host networking, so the console reaches the server on port 4323 of the host and the server sees the console’s real address. With port mapping instead (ports: with 4323:4323 and 8360:8360, as on Docker Desktop), set NETDISC_XBOX.
The server runs as user 1000:1000. If it can’t read your games, set user: in the compose file to an ID that can (and give config to that ID).

Without Docker Compose:

docker run -d --name netdisc --network host --restart unless-stopped -v /path/to/games:/games:ro -v /path/to/config:/config -e NETDISC_WEB_PASSWORD=<a password> ghcr.io/marcusisdahl/netdisc360
