Docker

Tvheadend can run isolated from other host processes in a Docker container. The official Tvheadend container can be pulled from the GitHub container repo:

$ docker pull ghcr.io/tvheadend/tvheadend:master-debian

There is also an established community container from the linuxserver.io team:
