Definitely a cool project! Can crack it open to get some API insights. The goals don’t quite line up for me, as I eventually want to actually get the tracks into my Plex setup. Additionally, I’m after a more “assisted curation” where I actively consider new artists and thumbs 👍👎 to let them through, rather than trying to make a radio type feature that passively plays new stuff.

It’s on my “short” Todo list to write an app that looks at your current library (Plex, for me) and finds related artists through other apis (like Spotify) and exposes a UI to show what things to check out. Maybe some tracking of what you’ve accepted as interesting and still missing so you can grab off Bandcamp or wherever else you get your music. But at least it would help track/expose WHAT bands to seek out

Huge fan of the cathedral view. It’s the only thing that makes modding amazing.

In the parlor view, everyone is holding their secrets close to their chest and hiding the tricks, which means the community can’t learn from each other nearly as well.

Cathedral is what allows tons of tiny contributions to add up to a vast amazing experience. Each person’s work can be built upon by the next or used as inspiration and guidance for something new.

For an ecosystem built on people working after hours, this collaboration and knowledge exchange is fundamental.

Thanks for the insight! Does running this in a docker container help limit the damage at all? Seems like they’d only be able to access the few folders I have the container access to?

Gotcha. Thanks for the insight!

It’s annoying, as I’d like to expose things for other people in my family (like Overseerr or whatever) without hassling them to also start a VPN or other stumbling block steps.

I was hoping that reverse proxy to overseerrs login screen would be safe enough. 8(

Does docker help limit things at all? I’m running my services through docker, which seems to limit the folders the container can hit. Feels like that would limit the damage someone could do even if they bypassed the login page of Overseerr or whatever app it is?

Edit: thanks for all the replies! Always more to learn and do, haha

Just out of curiosity, is the tail scale part of this required? If i just reverse proxy things and have them only protected from there by the login screen of the app being shown, that’s obviously less safe. But the attackers would still need to brute force my passwords to get any access? If they did, then they could do nasty things within the app, but limited to that app. Are there other vulnerabilities I’m not thinking about?

Ah, nice. I gotta do the reverse and check out Soularr a bit. I imagine my Deezer setup will eventually implode, so I’ll need a fallback haha

Sure sure! Just a fallback to consider if you have trouble locating elsewhere, as I did. Spotify rippers were noticably bad quality, and torrents for music were very scarce compared to other media types. But maybe I missed something or there’s better options now. Dropping $10 for a month to mass download everything at crisp quality isn’t too bad an option, imo.

I use Deezer. You pay for it per month like Spotify, but they have API to just download the songs straight up. I think the open source UI I’ve been using for that is on the rocks a bit, but do far still been working for me

Hey! Just subbed! I’ve been hoping to make more media content around my Bethesda mod tooling Mutagen. I’ll be cross posting there when I do!
