Just recently made the jump from Unraid 5 to 6 and am just getting used to Dockers. I've searched quite a bit but can find nothing on getting Soulseek (http://www.soulseekqt.net/news/node/1) to run on Unraid via Dockers. How much of a melt would it be to manually set it up through Dockers?

 

 

It should not be hard to build based on a Phusion image... I am having a hard time grasping how this works... Is it like your own personal MediaFire or Fileshare, or is it more community share base.

Soulseek is a peer to peer sharing music program. It is, as far as i know, the most widely used program to share and download music.

Doesn´t have a web interface though, its a standalone program, so it would have to be dockered with the X based docker.

 

 

I'd really like to have soulseek run on Unraid.

Sorry to revive a zombie thread... but did anyone have any luck with this? I found a soulseek and a nicotine docker that used vnc to allow access, but they're not working correctly.

I'm a complete noob with docker, only recently setting up some stuff with it in unraid.  I tried adding danielguerra69's docker and like everyone else couldn't get it to work.  Turns out that the reason is that 32bit apps just don't work properly with docker on unraid - and it's down to unraid's kernel.  The containers I saw were trying to use wine to run a windows soulseek 32bit executable.

 

*However*

 

Soulseek provides a 64bit linux executable.  So, I cloned danielguerra69's project and rebuilt it to use that executable (had to use the nov 2017 beta, feb 2017 crashed all the time).  find the container at whatsalinux/soulseek

 

If you're new with docker as I am, here's the step by step to add it to unraid in docker:

 

1. Click add container
2. name = soulseek
3. repository = whatsalinux/soulseek
4. categories = downloaders
5. Docker Hub URL = https://hub.docker.com/r/whatsalinux/soulseek/
6. Template URL = https://hub.docker.com/r/danielguerra/soulseek/~/dockerfil
7. Icon URL = http://www.slsknet.org/news/sites/default/files/slsk_bird.jpg
8. WebUI = http://[IP]:[PORT:5950]/
9. Network Type = bridge
10. Privileged = Yes  (got fuse errors without this)
11. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path 
12. name = Appdata config path |  container path=/home/soulseek/.config/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/config   
13. presume you have an "appdata" share, if not, create one, then mkdir -p this directory on unraid:  mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/{config,Downloads,Music} 
14. on unraid : chown nobody.users -R /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/* 
15. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path
16. name = Host Path 1 | Container Path = /home/soulseek/Music/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Music/
17. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path
18. name = Host Path 2 | Container Path = /home/soulseek/Downloads/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Downloads/
19. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Path
20. name = Host Path 3 | Container Path = /home/soulseek/.SoulseekQt/  | host path = /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/SoulseekQt/
21. Click Add Another Path, Port or Variable : Select Host Port
22. name = Host Port 1 | container port = 5900 | host port = 5950

From there, let it build, then open a vnc client and hit <unraid ip>:5950

1. Once you enter your user/pass, choose "/home/soulseek/Music" as your shared directory. 
2. Under File Sharing, click "Set Download Folder" and choose /home/soulseek/Music
3. Your config files should persist in /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/config and load up when you rebuild the container. 
4. LIkewise, Downloaded Music should persist in /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Downloads. 
5. Add music you wish to share to /mnt/user/appdata/soulseek/Music , or just create a softlink to where you keep it on the array

 

Idk how this would get added to 'community apps', but if someone wants to let me know how that's done..

Just pushed the latest version of Soulseek (2018.01) that works through a browser here.

Hey @realiesI just got this docker working, and I was wondering if you had a functioning reverse proxy going for it? I can't seem to get nginx to work on this novnc container. Thanks!

@ridge, feel free to modify this, ssl.conf and proxy.conf are part of linuxserver.io's letsencrypt nginx server, but it should run fine without them, the key thing is the /websockify connection upgrade.

 

upstream soulseek {
        server 192.168.1.100:6080;
}

server {
        server_name _;
        listen 80;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    server_name _;
    listen 443 ssl;

    access_log /config/log/nginx/soulseek_access.log;
    error_log /config/log/nginx/soulseek_error.log;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    location / {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        proxy_pass http://soulseek/;
    }

    location /websockify {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_pass http://soulseek/;
    }
}

 

 

Perfect! I couldn't get it to work using a subdirectory. Switched to using a subdomain as in your example and we're golden. Thanks!

Perhaps if you change `location /` to `location /subdir/` and leave the websockets to be at `location /websockify` it might work.

Hey @realies, wanted to ask if you'd seen any other instances of filenames not being parsed properly?

 

Eg, filename-error.png, attached. The correct filenames are in filename-proper.png, highlighted. As you can see, the docker is having trouble with special characters like umlauts, and curly single quotes.

 

My music is all tagged from Musicbrainz, and I know it's correct. I'd hate to have to go in and edit the filenames, and right now albums aren't sharing correctly. Any ideas?

@ridge, I can't replicate. Sharing a Tiësto song indexes it, although it shows up as Ti?sto in the browse list. How do you get the errors from the first screenshot?

@realiesThey're like that in the upload window when someone tries to upload from me. I don't know what else to tell you.

You mean to upload to you?

No, from me to them. So the screenshot I shared with the weird filenames is from the Uploads tab within Transfers. Here's another example

@ridge, please update to the latest version of the image.

Looks like that worked. No errors from the last 24 hours or so. Thanks!

You can now also change the resolution of the container with the environment variable `-e resolution=1280x720`.

@realiesevery time my container restarts Soulseek's configuration resets even though my configuration directory is on persistent storage. Any thoughts or has anyone else reported a similar issue?

Genius. I dropped the save every "x" minute from the default 60 to 20, and it appears to be working. Odd that the container had been running for days without a restart so the 60 should have been working. Maybe the value needs manipulated to start working? Thank you for the quick fix!

Hey @realies thanks for the container. Where does "/persistent/appdata" map to? Can I just change that to my preferred appdata location (e.g. /mnt/cache/appdata/soulseek"?

@zandrsn, maybe you should read more about the high-level abstract of how Docker and Docker volumes work or at least try it the brute-force way before asking questions of this type.

Super helpful, thanks.
