subsonic, supporting its many clients
FLOSS alternative tofeatures
- browsing by folder (keeping your full tree intact)
- browsing by tags (using taglib - supports mp3, opus, flac, ape, m4a, wav, etc.)
- on-the-fly audio transcoding and caching (requires ffmpeg) (thank you spijet)
- jukebox mode (thank you AlexKraak)
- pretty fast scanning (with my library of ~27k tracks, initial scan takes about 10m, and about 5s after incrementally)
- multiple users, each with their own transcoding preferences, playlists, top tracks, top artists, etc.
- last.fm scrobbling
- artist similarities and biographies from the last.fm api
- a web interface for configuration (set up last.fm, manage users, start scans, etc.)
- support for the album-artist tag, to not clutter your artist list with compilation album appearances
- written in go, so lightweight and suitable for a raspberry pi, etc.
- newer salt and token auth
- tested on dsub, jamstash, sublime music, and soundwaves
installation
the default login is admin/admin.
password can then be changed from the web interface
$ apt install build-essential git sqlite libtag1-dev ffmpeg libasound-dev # for debian like
$ pacman -S base-devel git sqlite taglib ffmpeg alsa-lib # for arch like
$ go get go.senan.xyz/gonic/cmd/gonic
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin
$ gonic -h # or see "configuration options below"
note: unfortunately if you do this above, you'll be compiling gonic locally on your machine (if someone knows how I can statically link sqlite3 and taglib, please let me know so I can distribute static binaries)
or else you can run in docker, available on dockerhub as sentriz/gonic
# example docker-compose.yml
version: '2.4'
services:
gonic:
image: sentriz/gonic:latest
environment:
- TZ
# optionally, see more env vars below
expose:
- 80
volumes:
- ./data:/data # gonic db etc
- /path/to/music:/music:ro # your music
- /path/to/cache:/cache # transcode cache dir
# set the following two sections if you've enabled jukebox
group_add:
- audio
devices:
- /dev/snd:/dev/snd
then start with docker-compose up -d
