I search for a way to test if SATIP Server is online or not

General Docker
1

I have a Problem when using Docker and Restart or Upgrade the TVHeadend Container that SATIP Server is lost if it switched off.

When TVHeadend is running it dont search for the SATIP Server itself it only searches if new started or restarted or with the Button in Configuration → General → SATIP → Search for SATIP Server.

Now the Problem is my SATIP Server is on my TV and its turned off after 23.00PM, my Docker makes a Backup every Day and for this the Containers must be stopped. In the morning TVHeadend Container runs already and i turn on my SATIP Server. TVHeadend not searching automaticly for the SATIP Server so i have no signal on TV.

Any Ideas to solve this ?

My first Idea was an healtcheck and Ping the IP Adress of the SATIP Server but thats not working nicly because for this i have to check and restart the Container again and again before the SATIP Server is online.

You’ll need to check tvheadend documentation. When I used it, never had any issues with it discovering satip servers but this was 4/5 years ago.

I have have solved it.

Setting Run_opts at docker compose fixed it:

environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - RUN_OPTS=--satip_xml http://192.108.5.2:6000/description.xml
      - RUN_OPTS=--satip_bindaddr 192.108.5.2
      - RUN_OPTS=--satip_rtsp 9983
