This repo contains scripts for deploying and self-hosting a MusicBrainz instance in conjunction with L——'s metadata API.

The process to use the provided api.musicinfo.pro instance varies depending on whether you're using Docker. Non-Docker users will need to update the SQLite database directly.

• The simplest way to use the hosted instance is by changing your L—— image to one of the available tags.

  • This image is based on the upstream LinuxServer.io image, with a small nginx proxy that redirects metadata queries to api.musicinfo.pro.

• Alternatively, if you're already using L—— plugin builds (hot.io or LinuxServer.io), you can use the Tubifarry Plugin to set a custom metadata server.

  • Section 10.1 of the self-hosted guide provides detailed steps.
  • At step 8, set the metadata server URL to: https://api.musicinfo.pro

If you're not using Docker or don't want to use a forked image, you can override the default metadata server by inserting a row into your SQLite database:

INSERT INTO Config (Key, Value) VALUES ('metadatasource', 'https://api.musicinfo.pro/api/v0.4/');

To revert to the official metadata server:

DELETE FROM Config WHERE Key = 'metadatasource';

A step-by-step self-hosting guide is available using docker-compose. It walks through how to use the official musicbrainz-docker stack along with the L—— Metadata API image.

tl;dr: Vanilla MusicBrainz images work just fine with the open-source metadata server — it's just a little tricky to configure.
