I set this up today, but for some reason I can't seem to access the web interface, it just gives me an "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" error.  I see this in the log:

Am I doing something wrong?

How can i make use of their multiple folders support? Because i currently have to set the path to my music folder as "Path: /media:" and then set "GONIC_MUSIC_PATH:" to /media.

You can see how i've currently configured it here: https://gyazo.com/b08412b70bf8708f070e25bcec72febc

 

For example i would like to set the following paths:

/music/Trance/Trance.Albums

/music/Trance/Trance.Compilations

etc.

 

And there has previously been an issue with multiple folder support in Docker on github, but i don't know how this docker supports this.

 

Thanks in advance.

How often does Gonic refresh the library? are there any settings for this?

And Thanks for the this container, works great for folder browsing

gonic will index all media located under /mnt/user/music including sub folders, this would mean /mnt/user/music/Trance/Trance.Albums would be indexed, is this not what you want?.

by default there is no auto scan, if you want to do this then create a new 'variable' for the container with the required key and value for the function you want:-

I currently struggle with getting playlists in order.

If i set the playlist path variable to reference the path outside the conainer (same as the /media folder) the container complains. However if i map the path to incontainer logic (example "/media/playlists") there seems to be no recognition of any playlists which are already present.

I am aware gonic goes by userID (wherever that one is defined, but admin should be "1"), so i put all my present playlist m3u files inside a folder named "1" in my playlist path.

Yet neither in the WEBUI can i see the recognition of those playlists, nor can i access them via local endpoints that usually work well with the subsonic api (used airsonic previously).

Other than that, gonic really is so much faster than Airsonic in its transcoding, i just cant seem to figure out that bit. That I can access present playlists with /get-playlists.

my folder structure is "<GONIC_PLAYLISTS_PATH>/1/<playlists>.m3u" and my container is structured like this. Am i missing anything?

i have created a playlist and it is stored in the path specified for GONIC_PLAYLISTS_PATH in my case that is the default value of /config/gonic/playlists:




I then copied an old playlist to the '1' folder (im logged in as admin) and chnged the file exension to m3u and i could then pick up the playlist via the 'import' function on my subsonic client (Symfonium - highly recommended!!) and it imported correctly.

so in short, this works for me, check permissions, check your playlist is valid and that the media paths in the playlist are correct (for the container not the host!).

Thank you, i will try with the generic paths for now. That would be a bit clunky, but if it works it works ig.

As for clients, i am on IOS and there the only app i found that offers offline download, playlist management and (most importantly for iphone, as natively it isnt supported without serverside transcoding) can play .flac is one called play:sub.

Update:

it works. Guess i will have to change a bit in my Pipeline then. Thank you!

For future Users:

Playlists need to be located in the config subfolders to be properly recognized, inside a directory of your userID. UserID for the admin login is "1". Other user IDs idk.

Hi @binhex , I see that there is a new feature (in testing) that supports embedded album art covers. I would really like to try this feature but it requires the ":nightly" tag. I tried adding ":nightly" to the end of your repository path, but the container failed. Can you let me know what do I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks

i don't support nightly/beta/pre-release/dev builds due to the headache of additonal support, once this feature is in the next 'release' it will be automatically built and available to you.
