About Linuxserver

LinuxServer.io is a global community project that builds and maintains one of the largest collections of Docker container images available online. Run by a group of enthusiasts aligned with free and open source software principles, the project focuses on delivering easy-to-use, streamlined container images paired with clear, concise documentation for a wide range of applications.

All images are built from a shared, curated base layer using s6-overlay, which ensures consistency across the library, reduces redundant bandwidth and storage use for users, and makes images highly configurable for different use cases. The project’s redesigned build pipeline automatically rebuilds images when upstream applications or their dependencies are updated, and a clear tagging system lets users easily identify which application version each image build includes.

The project provides first-hand support via its Discord server and Discourse forum, making it accessible for both newcomers to Docker and experienced home server users. Its resources include setup guides on GitHub and a dedicated documentation site, plus additional guides and opinion pieces on its blog.
