9 handlers covering create / get / list / update / delete / append /
remove / reorder / cover. Permissions enforced in the service layer
(ErrForbidden -> 403 not_authorized) so the handler is a thin
HTTP-shape adapter. /cover serves the cached collage from disk via
http.ServeFile; 404 when cover_path is nil.
Server gained a DataDir field so the playlists service can find the
collage cache; api.Mount picks up two new params (playlistsSvc and
dataDir). The stale TestRoutesRegisteredInMount Mount() call in
library_test.go was missing the tracks.Service argument added by an
earlier slice — fixed in passing.
Wire codes follow the project's existing nested errorBody envelope:
not_found, not_authorized, unauthenticated, bad_request, server_error.
The plan called for a flat envelope, but the api package's writeErr
already produces {"error":{"code":"...","message":"..."}} and
deviating here would break every existing client.

Minstrel
Self-hosted music server with OpenSubsonic compatibility plus an extended API for server-side smart shuffle, a dual-like model (general + contextual), session-aware radio, ListenBrainz scrobble/similarity, and Lidarr integration. Go + Postgres, packaged as a Docker container.
State and intelligence belong on the server, not the client.
Specs
Authoritative v1 scope lives under docs/:
- Server spec — current implementation focus.
- Client spec — Flutter companion app; work starts once the server reaches its Subsonic-compatible baseline.
Development workflow
- Day-to-day work happens on the
devbranch (or feature branches merged intodev). mainis protected — changes land only via pull request fromdev.- Production builds are cut by tagging a release (
v*) offmain.
CI / container image
Forgejo Actions handles:
- Tests on push to
devand on PRs intomain. - Container image build + push to the Forgejo registry on merge to
main(:main) and onv*tags (:<version>).
Task and milestone tracking: Fable (Minstrel project, id 12).
Development
Minstrel has two concurrent dev processes:
- Backend:
docker compose up— starts Postgres and Minstrel on:4533. - Frontend:
cd web && npm install && npm run dev— Vite dev server on:5173with HMR.
The Vite dev server proxies /api/* and /rest/* to the backend on :4533,
so session cookies work correctly when the SPA is loaded from the Vite origin.
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 resulting container serves the SPA from / alongside the
API surfaces. No separate static-file server is required.
