       -v /config/jd2:/opt/JDownloader/cfg \

       plusminus/jdownloader2-headless
   

3. Wait a minute for the container to initialize

5. On your host, enter your credentials (in quotes) to the file org.jdownloader.api.myjdownloader.MyJDownloaderSettings.json as in:

Optional environment variables

Environment Variable	Description
UID	Specifies the UID the daemon should run as. All created files will be owned by this UID. Defaults to 0 for root.
GID	Specifies the GID for all created files. This only works in combination with the UID. Defaults to 0 for root.

Not setting these will default to root:root. If you are required to set all environment varibles, setting these to 0 will fall back to the default.
