Five fixes in one commit, all from the U1+U2+U3 push:
1. internal/api/library_test.go's Mount call wasn't updated when
U3-T4 added the mailer.Sender param. 17 args, sig wants 18.
Adds a trailing nil for the mailer. Same shape of test-fixture
lag the project has hit before — flagged as a recurring pattern
for the DRY-pass slice.
2. web/src/routes/settings/settings.test.ts mocked $lib/api/me with
`getAPIToken: vi.fn()` (no return value). The new /settings API
Token card's $effect calls `getAPIToken().then(...)` which threw
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'then')" on every
ListenBrainz test. Default the mock to mockResolvedValue so any
test that doesn't override gets a valid resolution.
3. web/src/routes/admin/users/users.test.ts queried row buttons by
/^Delete$/ but T3 added per-user aria-labels ("Delete alice"),
so the row buttons' accessible name is no longer "Delete". The
modal's confirm button has no aria-label so its name IS "Delete"
exactly. Tests now click by per-user aria-label first, then by
/^Delete$/ for the modal confirm.
4. Same file: /Set password/i regex matched both the dialog's
submit button AND the row's "Reset password for ..." buttons
(because regex `Set` matches "ReSet" case-insensitively). Switched
to /^Set password$/ exact-match.
5. web/src/routes/reset-password/[token]/reset-password.test.ts had
/New password/i which matched both the "New password" and
"Confirm new password" labels. Switched to exact-match string
selectors.
6. web/src/routes/forgot-password/+page.svelte's onSubmit handler
had no catch — a rejected forgotPassword() bubbled as an
unhandled rejection in vitest. Added a silent catch since the
page intentionally shows the same success message regardless of
outcome (no-enumeration posture).
Minstrel
A self-hosted music server that thinks for you. Smart shuffle, contextual likes, ListenBrainz-aware radio, and Lidarr automation — server-side, so every client (web, mobile, Subsonic third-party) gets the same intelligence.
State and intelligence belong on the server, not the client.
Highlights
- OpenSubsonic-compatible. Existing Subsonic clients (DSub, Symfonium, play:Sub, etc.) connect with no special configuration.
- Server-side smart shuffle. Track-similarity vectors, dual-like model (general + contextual), and session memory keep mixes coherent across devices.
- ListenBrainz radio. Session-aware "more like this" pulls from ListenBrainz similarity data, not a static genre tag.
- Lidarr integration. Triggered scans, request-driven album imports, and a quarantine flow when something doesn't fit.
- Built-in web SPA. Full-feature library, search, queue, playlists, and admin — no separate frontend container to deploy.
- Flutter mobile client in flight. Tracking issue #356.
Quickstart
# compose.yaml
services:
minstrel:
image: git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/minstrel:v1.0.0
ports: ['4533:4533']
volumes:
- ./music:/music:ro
- minstrel-data:/data
environment:
MINSTREL_DATABASE_URL: postgres://minstrel:minstrel@db:5432/minstrel?sslmode=disable
MINSTREL_LIBRARY_SCAN_PATHS: /music
depends_on: [db]
db:
image: postgres:17
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: minstrel
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: minstrel
POSTGRES_DB: minstrel
volumes: [pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data]
volumes:
minstrel-data:
pgdata:
docker compose up -d
Watch docker compose logs minstrel on first start — a one-time admin password is printed to stderr. Sign in at http://localhost:4533 with username admin and that password, then change it under Settings.
For the full configuration surface, see config.example.yaml.
Configuration
Most operators only need the env vars in the quickstart above. A few extras worth knowing:
MINSTREL_BRANDING_APP_NAME— rename the instance ("Family Jukebox", "Office Music"). Surfaces in the header, browser tab, and OG share previews.MINSTREL_STORAGE_DATA_DIR— defaults to./data. Holds playlist cover collages and other generated artefacts.MINSTREL_LIBRARY_SCAN_PATHS— colon-separated list of music library roots to scan. Supports multiple roots (/music:/podcasts).MINSTREL_AUTH_ADMIN_USERNAME/MINSTREL_AUTH_ADMIN_PASSWORD— bootstrap admin credentials. Username defaults toadmin; leave the password unset to have the server generate one and print it to stderr on first start.
ListenBrainz integration (per-user scrobble + similarity tokens) and Lidarr integration (URL + API key) are configured through the admin Settings UI rather than env vars or yaml — per Minstrel's "config in UI" rule, integration settings live where operators can edit them without restarting.
Most operational keys have a MINSTREL_<SECTION>_<FIELD> env override. Recommendation and events tuning are yaml-only. See config.example.yaml for the authoritative surface.
Updating
:main— rolling, follows the dev branch's tested tip. Recommended only for the operator who's running an upstream-watching deployment.:v1.0.x— pinned releases. Recommended default. Database migrations run automatically at startup; rollbacks require restoring a Postgres dump.
Specs
Authoritative scope lives under docs/:
- Server spec — current implementation focus.
- Client spec — Flutter companion app.
Development
Two concurrent dev processes:
- Backend:
docker compose up— Postgres + Minstrel on:4533. - Frontend:
cd web && npm install && npm run dev— Vite dev server on:5173with HMR. The Vite server proxies/api/*and/rest/*to:4533so session cookies work.
Production build
docker build -t minstrel . runs the SvelteKit build inside a node stage, copies the output into the golang stage, and //go:embeds it into the final binary. The container serves the SPA from / alongside the API surfaces; no separate static-file server is required.
Branches
- Day-to-day work happens on
dev(or feature branches merged intodev). mainis protected — changes land via PR fromdev.- Releases are cut by tagging
v*offmain; the release workflow builds and pushes the container image to the Forgejo registry.
Task and milestone tracking: Fable (Minstrel project, id 12).
