cavemandaveman/subsonic-libre repository overview

⁠Subsonic Libre

This is a lightweight docker image for Subsonic, built on top of Alpine Linux⁠.

It uses a Libre⁠ distribution of Subsonic, free of licensing checks.

Created with minimal and KISS principles, it contains only the parts necessary to run Subsonic, weighing in at just under 250MB.

⁠I just want to check it out

docker run -d --name subsonic-libre \
    -v /path/to/your/music/directory/:/var/music/:ro \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    cavemandaveman/subsonic-libre:latest

You can access the page at http://<host-ip>:8080

⁠I want to be able to keep my preferences even after restart/shutdown

⁠The correct way

First, create a data only container:

docker run --name subsonic-libre-data \
    -v /var/subsonic/db/ \
    subsonic-libre:latest true

Then link the data container to the image:

docker run -d --name subsonic-libre \
    -volumes-from subsonic-data \
    -v /path/to/your/music/directory/:/var/music/:ro \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    cavemandaveman/subsonic-libre:latest

⁠The frowned upon way

Note: This will only work if you create a user/group on the host with UID/GID of 666.

docker run -d --name subsonic-libre \
    -v /path/where/you/want/to/save/data/:/var/subsonic/db/ \
    -v /path/to/your/music/directory/:/var/music/:ro \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    cavemandaveman/subsonic-libre:latest

⁠I already have Subsonic and want to use my current preferences/data

Follow the same instructions as the frowned upon way, but replace /path/where/you/want/to/save/data/ with /current/directory/of/subsonic/db/.
