A random port number between 10000 and 32767 is needed and will be used to access Whisparr. The port number 18280 has automatically been generated and will be used throughout this article, but can be changed if needed.

Connect to your slot using SSH

1. Create ~/whisparr/whisparr.yml

    mkdir -p ~/whisparr && touch ~/whisparr/whisparr.yml
   

2. Open the file with ~/whisparr/whisparr.yml and add the text in this text box to the file

    services:
      whisparr:
        container_name: whisparr
        image: ghcr.io/hotio/whisparr
        network_mode: host
        environment:
          - PUID=0
          - PGID=0
          - UMASK=002
          - TZ=UTC
        volumes:
          - /home/user/whisparr:/config
          - /home/user:/home/user
        pull_policy: always
        restart: unless-stopped
   

   Save the file by pressing Ctrl+S then exit nano with Ctrl+X

3. Run the Whisparr container briefly

    podman-compose -f ~/whisparr/whisparr.yml up
   

   Wait until you see "Press Ctrl+C to shut down"

   Press Ctrl+C

4. Edit the port used by Whisparr

    sed -i 's/6969/18280/' ~/whisparr/config.xml
   

5. Start Whisparr

    podman-compose -f ~/whisparr/whisparr.yml up -d
   

After returning to your shell prompt, Whisparr will be accessible at http://server.whatbox.ca:18280 (it may take several seconds to start responding) You must add authentication immediately when prompted - select "Forms" and fill in a username and password.
