Step 1 : Create toolbox container for Syncthing

toolbox create -d ubuntu --release 24.04 -c syncthing
toolbox enter syncthing
~/bin/run-container-playbooks.sh
exit

Step 2 : Create systemctl service

sudo loginctl enable-linger $(whoami)
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/
cat << EOF > ~/.config/systemd/user/readymedia.service
[Unit]
Description=ReadyMedia
After=network.target toolbox.service

[Service]
ExecStart=toolbox run -c readymedia sh -c "minidlnad"
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
EOF
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable readymedia.service
systemctl --user start readymedia.service

Step 3 : Allow remote access

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8200/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=1900/udp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
