Baota Panel

Baota Panel (bt.cn) is a server management tool that turns complex command-line operations into buttons and switches on a web page. Just click around to manage websites, databases, SSL certificates, and more — no need to memorize a bunch of commands.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have these two things ready:

1. Baota Panel installed — if you haven't installed it yet, go to bt.cn and follow the guide
2. Docker installed in Baota — open Baota Panel, go to the Software Store on the left, search for "Docker", and install it

Deploy AMMDS with Baota's Docker

Step 1: Open Docker Management

Find Docker in the left sidebar of Baota Panel and click it.

Step 2: Create the Container

1. On the Docker management page, click Containers → Create Container
2. Fill in the information as follows:

Setting	Value	Explanation
Image Name	qyg2297248353/ammds:latest	This is the AMMDS "installer" — fill this in and it'll auto-download
Container Name	AMMDS	Give your AMMDS a name so you can identify it easily
Port Mapping	Host port 8080 → Container port 80	Assign port 8080 on your server to AMMDS, access it via http://your-ip:8080
Mount Directory	See below	"Share" server folders with the container so your movie files don't get lost if the container restarts

Step 3: Set Mount Directories (Important!)

Mount directories "lend" folders from your server to AMMDS. At minimum, you need to mount the following:

• Data directory: Mount a server folder (e.g., ./data) to the container's /ammds/data
• Database directory: Mount a server folder (e.g., ./db) to the container's /ammds/db
• Download directory: Mount a server folder (e.g., ./download) to the container's /ammds/download
• Media directory: Mount your movie/TV show folder (e.g., ./media) to the container's /media

note

Note: Do not mount your media folders to a path starting with /ammds, otherwise data may be lost.

For example: If your movies are in /mnt/movie on the server, mount it like this: /mnt/movie:/mnt/movie

Step 4: Set Auto-restart

On the container creation page, find Restart Policy and select "Always Restart". This way, even if your server reboots, AMMDS will start back up automatically.

Step 5: Start the Container

After filling in all the information above, click "Confirm" to create. Baota will automatically pull the image and start the container.

Step 6: Access AMMDS

Open your browser and enter:

http://your-server-ip:8080

For example, if your server IP is 192.168.1.100, enter http://192.168.1.100:8080.

Default Credentials

• Username: ammds
• Password: ammds

tip

If you can't see the text clearly, switch to light mode.

Notes

• Firewall: If you can't open the page, check if your server's firewall has port 8080 open. You can add port rules in Baota Panel's Security page.
• Data Persistence: Mount directories are very important! Without them, all your configuration and data will be lost if the container is deleted.
• Timezone: If you need to change the timezone, add the environment variable TZ=Asia/Shanghai (Beijing time) when creating the container.
