lyssnarr

Self-hosted music discovery for the Pi5 — a Jellyseerr-style web UI that finds new music for you. Search for artists/albums/tracks, get scheduled AI-generated suggestions (Gemini) based on what you recently listened to and what you add to your YouTube Music playlists, and add anything to Lidarr with one click — or play it inline / open it in YouTube Music.

See doc/plan.md for the agreed plan and the Gitea wiki for architecture notes.

Prerequisites (dev box = Arch/Garuda)

sudo pacman -S nodejs npm     # node >= 20

Build & run

git clone gitea-claude:brasse/lyssnarr.git
cd lyssnarr
npm install                   # installs backend + frontend workspaces
npm run build                 # -> ./build/ (frontend dist + backend)
npm run dev                   # dev servers (Vite + Fastify, hot reload)
npm test

Runtime configuration

All secrets live in the Dockge stack .env on the Pi5 — never in the repo. Key variables (full list in doc/plan.md):

Var	What
GEMINI_API_KEY	Google AI Studio key for suggestion generation
LIDARR_URL / LIDARR_API_KEY	Lidarr instance to add music to
SESSION_SECRET	cookie signing
APP_PASSWORD_HASH	bcrypt hash for the single-user login

Deploy

CI (.gitea/workflows/build.yaml) builds the arm64 image on the Pi5 runner and pushes localhost:5000/lyssnarr:latest; the Dockge stack /srv/dockge-staks/lyssnarr/ runs it behind NPM as https://lyssnarr.brasse-pc.eu.
