This hosts the custom metadata API and resources Lidarr relies on.
The metadata server may be installed with pip install . in the root
directory or python setup.py install. A development install that is linked
to the most recent file versions may be installed with pip install -e . or
python setup.py develop.
The metadata API server may be run by executing the server.py file or by
the command lidarr-metadata-server that is installed with the installation
instructions above.
The metadata server requires access to a musicbrainz postgresql database and solr search server.
To initialize these in docker you can run
`
docker-compose build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
docker-compose exec musicbrainz /createdb.sh -fetch
docker-compose exec sir make install
docker-compose exec sir make index
`
These will take several hours to complete.
- docker-compose.yml defines the base services required - the musicbrainz database, server, solr and supporting services.
- docker-compose.dev.yml exposes ports for the supporting services in docker-compose.yml to allow running the lidarr metadata service on the host.
- docker-compose.prod.yml runs the lidarr metadata service in docker in addition to the supporting services. Supporting services are not exposed.
