bvandeusen e056c8b8be docs(m7): implementation plan for #352 playlists CRUD slice 1
11 tasks: migration 0014 + sqlc queries (T1), Service CRUD methods
(T2), track operations (T3), cover-collage generator (T4), 9 HTTP
handlers + service wiring (T5), frontend api helper + types + qk (T6),
PlaylistCard (T7), PlaylistTrackRow with drag handle + soft-mark
strikethrough (T8), AddToPlaylistMenu wired into TrackMenu (T9),
/playlists index page (T10), /playlists/[id] detail with drag-reorder
(T11).

Soft-mark cascade preserved end-to-end: schema (track_id nullable +
ON DELETE SET NULL with denormalized snapshot columns), service (no
cascade on track delete; rows persist), UI (greyed-out + strikethrough
for null track_id rows). Cover collage is synchronous inline 2x2
JPEG via image/jpeg stdlib; SVG fallback rasterization is a follow-up.

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 dev branch (or feature branches merged into dev).
  • main is protected — changes land only via pull request from dev.
  • Production builds are cut by tagging a release (v*) off main.

CI / container image

Forgejo Actions handles:

  • Tests on push to dev and on PRs into main.
  • Container image build + push to the Forgejo registry on merge to main (:main) and on v* tags (:<version>).

Task and milestone tracking: Fable (Minstrel project, id 12).

Development

Minstrel has two concurrent dev processes:

  1. Backend: docker compose up — starts Postgres and Minstrel on :4533.
  2. Frontend: cd web && npm install && npm run dev — Vite dev server on :5173 with 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.
