Deployment Overview¶
DUMB can be deployed across a variety of platforms and environments. Whether you're using Docker, Portainer, Unraid, WSL2, or other systems like TrueNAS, Synology, or QNAP, this section will guide you through the available options to get DUMB up and running.
All deployment methods provide access to the same integrated services and configurations, with slight differences in how the container is started and managed.
Platform-Specific Instructions
Select your platform from the left navigation to view detailed, platform-specific deployment instructions. Each platform guide includes step-by-step setup instructions tailored to your environment.
System Requirements¶
- Docker or Docker-compatible environment
- Linux system (WSL on Windows when using
rshared) - Minimum 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, SSD recommended
Docker Desktop
Docker Desktop CANNOT be used to run DUMB when using rshared mount propagation.
Docker Desktop does not support the mount propagation required for rclone mounts.
See the deployment options to run DUMB on Windows through WSL2.
Required Credentials¶
| Service | Required Info |
|---|---|
| Debrid | API Key (Real-Debrid) |
| GitHub | Token (if using the sponsored Zurg repo) |
See Configuration → Integration Tokens
Required Directories¶
You'll need to bind mount the following volumes when running the container:
| Container Mount Path | Description |
|---|---|
/config |
Location for configuration files |
/log |
Location for logs |
/zurg/RD |
Location for Zurg RealDebrid active configuration |
/riven/backend/data |
Location for Riven Backend data |
/postgres_data |
Location for PostgreSQL databases |
/pgadmin/data |
Location for pgAdmin 4 data |
/zilean/app/data |
Location for Zilean data |
/plex_debrid/config |
Location for plex_debrid data |
/cli_debrid/data |
Location for cli_debrid data |
/phalanx_db/data |
Location for phalanx_db data |
/decypharr |
Location for decypharr data |
/plex |
Location for Plex Media Server data |
/mnt/debrid |
Location for raw debrid files/links and symlinks |
/config
If a Zurg config.yml and/or Zurg app is placed here, it will be used to override the default configuration and/or app used at startup.
/mnt/debrid:rshared
The :rshared must be included in order to support mount propagation for rclone to the host when exposing the raw debrid files/links to an external container; e.g., the arrs or a media server.
:rshared is not required when using the default configuration leveraging the internal media server or when not utilizing Decypharr.
Configuration Requirements
All deployment methods rely on a valid and accessible dumb_config.json file for configuring services.
It is strongly recommended to bind-mount a local config directory to persist user data.
Example Volume Mount
dumb:
image: iampuid0/dumb:latest
volumes:
- ./config:/config
For more about configuring services, see the Configuration page.
