Docker Setup Guide

This guide is intended for getting started with the BattleNetPrefill Docker image (DockerHub), and to become familiarized with how to interact with it. This guide does not intend to be a detailed guide on how to use BattleNetPrefill itself, which can be found in the Getting Started guide.

Note

Docker is not strictly required to run BattleNetPrefill, as it is a completely self-contained portable app.

Basic Usage Via Command Line

To download and run the latest version of the container, open up a terminal and run the following command:

docker run -it --rm --net=host \
  --volume ~/.config/BattleNetPrefill:/Config \
  tpill90/battlenet-lancache-prefill:latest 

This command is the same as running BattleNetPrefill from the command line with no options, and if successful should produce the following output:


At this point, you will be able to run any of the COMMANDS listed in the output by appending the desired command at the end, for example with select-apps:

docker run -it --rm --net=host  \
  --volume ~/.config/BattleNetPrefill:/Config \
  tpill90/battlenet-lancache-prefill:latest \
  select-apps
