nomacs is a free, open source image viewer, which supports multiple platforms. You can use it for viewing all common image formats including RAW and psd images.
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
and arm64
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver-labs/nomacs:latest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | latest |
arm64 | ✅ | latest |
The webui will be accessible at http:https://SERVERIP:3000 or https://SERVERIP:3001
This container is based on Docker Baseimage KasmVNC which means there are additional environment variables and run configurations to enable or disable specific functionality.
Variable | Description |
---|---|
CUSTOM_PORT | Internal port the container listens on for http if it needs to be swapped from the default 3000. |
CUSTOM_HTTPS_PORT | Internal port the container listens on for https if it needs to be swapped from the default 3001. |
CUSTOM_USER | HTTP Basic auth username, abc is default. |
PASSWORD | HTTP Basic auth password, abc is default. If unset there will be no auth |
SUBFOLDER | Subfolder for the application if running a subfolder reverse proxy, need both slashes IE /subfolder/ |
TITLE | The page title displayed on the web browser, default "KasmVNC Client". |
FM_HOME | This is the home directory (landing) for the file manager, default "/config". |
START_DOCKER | If set to false a container with privilege will not automatically start the DinD Docker setup. |
DRINODE | If mounting in /dev/dri for DRI3 GPU Acceleration allows you to specify the device to use IE /dev/dri/renderD128 |
Variable | Description |
---|---|
--privileged |
Will start a Docker in Docker (DinD) setup inside the container to use docker in an isolated environment. For increased performance mount the Docker directory inside the container to the host IE -v /home/user/docker-data:/var/lib/docker . |
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock |
Mount in the host level Docker socket to either interact with it via CLI or use Docker enabled applications. |
--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri |
Mount a GPU into the container, this can be used in conjunction with the DRINODE environment variable to leverage a host video card for GPU accelerated appplications. Only Open Source drivers are supported IE (Intel,AMDGPU,Radeon,ATI,Nouveau) |
This container is capable of delivering a true lossless image at a high framerate to your web browser by changing the Stream Quality preset to "Lossless", more information here. In order to use this mode from a non localhost endpoint the HTTPS port on 3001 needs to be used. If using a reverse proxy to port 3000 specific headers will need to be set as outlined here.
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)
---
version: "2.1"
services:
nomacs:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver-labs/nomacs:latest
container_name: nomacs
security_opt:
- seccomp:unconfined #optional
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
ports:
- 3000:3000
- 3001:3001
volumes:
- /path/to/appdata:/config

docker cli (click here for more info)
docker run -d \
--name=nomacs \
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined `#optional` \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \

-p 3001:3001 \
-v /path/to/appdata:/config \

lscr.io/linuxserver-labs/nomacs:latest
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
-p 3000 |
The webui http port. |
-p 3001 |
The webui https port. |
-v /config |
The folder on host you'd like the app data to reside in. |
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined |
For Docker Engine only, many modern gui apps need this to function as syscalls are unkown to Docker. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it nomacs /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f nomacs
- container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' nomacs
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver-labs/nomacs
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull
- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull nomacs
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d nomacs
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
- Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver-labs/nomacs
- Stop the running container:
docker stop nomacs
- Delete the container:
docker rm nomacs
- Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
-
Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once nomacs
-
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver-labs/docker-nomacs.git
cd docker-nomacs
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver-labs/nomacs:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
