```yaml

image: ghcr.io/arabcoders/watchstate:latest
# To change the user/group id associated with the tool change the following line.
user: "${UID:-1000}:${GID:-1000}"
group_add:
- "44" # Add video group to the container.
- "110" # Add render group to the container.
container_name: watchstate
image: ghcr.io/arabcoders/watchstate:latest # The image to use. you can use the latest or dev tag.
user: "${UID:-1000}:${GID:-1000}" # user and group id to run the container under.
group_add:
- "44" # Add video group to the container.
- "105" # Add render group to the container.
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "8080:8080" # The port which will serve WebUI + API + Webhooks
- "8080:8080" # The port which will serve WebUI + API + Webhooks
devices:
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri # mount the dri devices to the container.
volumes:
- ./data:/config:rw # mount current directory to container /config directory.
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri # mount the dri devices to the container.
- /storage/media:/media:ro # mount your media directory to the container.

This setup should work for VAAPI encoding in `x86_64` containers, for other architectures you need to adjust the
`/dev/dri` to match your hardware. There are currently an issue with nvidia h264_nvenc encoding, the alpine build for
`ffmpeg`doesn't include the codec.
This setup should work for VAAPI encoding in `x86_64` containers, There are currently an issue with nvidia h264_nvenc
encoding, the alpine build for`ffmpeg` doesn't include the codec. i am looking for a way include the codec without
ballooning the image size by 600MB+. If you have a solution please let me know.
Please know that your `video`, `render` group id might be different then mine, you can run the follow command in docker
host server to get the group ids for both groups.
```bash
$ cat /etc/group | grep -E 'render|video'
video:x:44:your_docker_username
render:x:105:your_docker_username
```
In my docker host the group id for `video` is `44` and for `render` is `105`. change what needed in the `compose.yaml`
file to match your setup.
Note: the tip about adding the group_add came from the user `binarypancakes` in discord.
