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
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.
