gonic

FLOSS alternative to subsonic, supporting its many clients

features

• browsing by folder (keeping your full tree intact)
• browsing by tags (using taglib - supports mp3, opus, flac, ape, m4a, wav, etc.)
• on-the-fly audio transcoding and caching (requires ffmpeg) (thank you spijet)
• pretty fast scanning (with my library of ~27k tracks, initial scan takes about 10m, and about 5s after incrementally)
• last.fm scrobbling
• multiple users
• a web interface for configuration (set up last.fm, manage users, start scans, etc.)
• newer salt and token auth
• tested on dsub, jamstash, sublime music, and soundwaves

installation

the default login is admin/admin.
password can then be changed from the web interface

$ apt install build-essential git sqlite libtag1-dev ffmpeg # for debian like
$ pacman -S base-devel git sqlite taglib ffmpeg             # for arch like
$ go get senan.xyz/g/gonic/cmd/gonic
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin
$ gonic -h # or see "configuration options below"

note: unfortunately if you do this above, you'll be compiling gonic locally on your machine (if someone knows how I can statically link sqlite3 and taglib, please let me know so I can distribute static binaries)

or else you can run in docker, available on dockerhub as sentriz/gonic

# example docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  gonic:
    image: sentriz/gonic:latest
    environment:
    - TZ
    # optionally, see env vars below
    expose:
    - 80
    volumes:
    - ./data:/data             # gonic db etc
    - /path/to/music:/music:ro # your music
    - /path/to/cache:/cache    # transcode cache dir

then start with docker-compose up -d

example nginx config with GONIC_PROXY_PREFIX

  location /gonic/ {
      proxy_pass http://localhost:4747/;
      # set X-Forwarded-Host for last.fm connection callback
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
  }
