slskd v0.1.0

Apps

slskd — a modern, self-hosted client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer file-sharing network, with a web UI, search, downloads, and a REST API (a headless, always-on replacement for the desktop Soulseek client). Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

nomad-pack run slskd --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- slskd

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: slskd_data

restic

# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first:
#   export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>"
#   export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>"
#   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>
restic backup \
  /var/lib/docker/volumes/slskd_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/slskd_data/_data backup:<bucket>/slskd_data

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

slskd

slskd — a modern, self-hosted client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network. Run it headless and always-on with a clean web UI, search, download queue, shares, and a REST API — a server-friendly replacement for the desktop Soulseek client.

Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

Deploy

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

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`web_port`	`5030`	Web UI port (`SLSKD_HTTP_PORT`).
`listen_port`	`50300`	Incoming Soulseek connections (`SLSKD_SLSK_LISTEN_PORT`). Forward it for better peering.
`slsk_username` / `slsk_password`	`change-me`	Your Soulseek network account (`SLSKD_SLSK_*`).
`data_volume`	`slskd_data`	`/app` — config, database, downloads, shares.
`image`	`slskd/slskd:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 500, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

Set your Soulseek credentials, then open the web UI. The web login defaults to slskd / slskd — change it under Options (or the config file in the volume). Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse proxy for TLS, and only share content you have the rights to. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
