Common questions

Does the Twonky Docker container require host networking?

Yes, the provided Docker usage uses --net=host so Twonky can do DLNA communication on the network.

How do I fix permission problems when mounting media into the Twonky container?

Set the GROUP_ID environment variable to match the host group, and make sure the media directory on the host is owned by that same group.

Can I use my purchase or local admin credentials to log into Twonky Server 8.4 or later?

No, Twonky Server 8.4 and later requires a new Lynx account, and you cannot use the purchase credentials or the local configuration-page credentials for that login.

Is it safe to port-forward or otherwise expose Twonky to the internet?

No, a port-forwarded or internet-facing Twonky server is not safe for your data.
