After Lidarr accepts a request the local reconciler imports albums and
tracks as they arrive — but until the request hit 'completed' the
operator had no way to see "is anything happening?" The /requests and
/admin/requests rows now surface a live progress line whenever the
request's matched entity has children in our library.
Backend:
- New CountAlbumsByArtist + CountTracksByArtist sqlc queries.
- requestView gains imported_album_count and imported_track_count.
- New fillProgress helper computes them from the matched entity:
- kind=artist → counts albums + tracks under matched_artist_id
- kind=album → counts tracks under matched_album_id
- kind=track → 1 once matched_track_id is set
N+1 in the list endpoints; acceptable at admin scale.
- handleListRequests, handleGetRequest, and handleListAdminRequests
populate the new fields on every response.
Frontend:
- LidarrRequest TS type extended with the two counters.
- Both the operator's /requests page and the admin /admin/requests
page render an accent-colored line under the row meta when at
least one counter is non-zero, e.g.:
Artist: "5 albums · 47 tracks ingested"
Album: "12 tracks ingested"
Track: "Track ingested"
- Updated test fixtures to include the new required fields.

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.
