Readme

lms

LMS (Lightweight Music Server) — a self-hosted, Subsonic/OpenSubsonic-compatible music streaming server built to be light on resources. It offers smart playlists, similarity-based recommendations, scrobbling and multi-user support, and works with any Subsonic client.

Single host-networked Nomad service with a working-data volume and a read-only music volume.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run lms --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`5082`	Web UI / Subsonic API port.
`image`	`epoupon/lms:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`data_volume`	`lms_data`	`/var/lms` — database, config and caches.
`music_volume`	`lms_music`	`/music` (read-only) — your music library.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

On first launch, create the admin account and set the media folder to /music in settings, then scan. A prestart init task makes the working directory writable. Behind a reverse proxy, remember to trust the proxy so client IPs are read correctly. Pin the job to the node holding the volumes with constraints. A lightweight alternative to navidrome / gonic.
