Last 2 of the 6 surfaced drift-cohort failures. Diagnoses below.
quarantine_provider_test 'flag keeps drift optimistic + queues
mutation on server failure':
MyQuarantineController.build() schedules unawaited _refreshFromServer()
which reads connectivityProvider (a StreamProvider<bool>). In tests
without an override, that stream never emits — its real impl listens
to connectivity_plus's platform channel which has no fixture in
flutter test. The success-path quarantine tests resolve their main
flow before _refreshFromServer's chain reaches the connectivity read,
so they don't trip the "disposed during loading" guard at tearDown.
The throwing-API variant's `await ref.read(mutationQueueProvider)
.enqueue(...)` advances enough async work that the connectivity read
IS reached, then container.dispose() trips Riverpod's invariant.
Fix: override connectivityProvider in the shared _container helper
with `Stream.value(true)` so it resolves immediately. The previous
`await Future.delayed(Duration.zero)` workaround is removed — the
cleaner fix makes that band-aid unnecessary.
like_button_test 'tap toggles icon optimistically; rollback on error':
LikesController.toggle:
final user = _ref.read(authControllerProvider).value;
if (user == null) return;
The test only overrode `likesApiProvider`; authControllerProvider was
in AsyncLoading state at toggle() time → user was null → early return
→ no drift write → likedIdsProvider never emits "liked" → heart never
fills → assertion fails. The test would never have passed against the
current controller; it was a stale survivor of an older API.
Fix: stub authControllerProvider with _FakeAuthController that yields
User(id: 'u1', …) immediately. Also add overrides for appDbProvider
(NativeDatabase.memory, bypasses drift_flutter's Timer) and
connectivityProvider (Stream.value(true), unblocks cacheFirst's
isOnline check) — both are transitive dependencies of
likedIdsProvider's cacheFirst.
After this push, the full drift cohort should be all-green. Fable #399
/ local #62 closes when CI lands.

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:latest
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
After the stack is up, visit http://localhost:4533/register and create your admin account. The first user to register on a fresh instance is automatically marked as the administrator; subsequent users can register through the same form (or via invite tokens generated from the admin Users panel, depending on how you configure registration).
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).
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.
Testing
- Unit + race (no DB):
make test-short. - Full suite incl. integration tests:
make test-integration. This runs against a dedicatedminstrel_testdatabase so a test run never truncates your devminstreldata (admin user, library, likes). It brings up the compose Postgres and creates the test DB if missing. - CI runs both: a fast
go test -short -racegate plus an integration job with its own ephemeral Postgres (.forgejo/workflows/test-go.yml).
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).
