Ampache Music Server

Fork of jgoerzen/ampache that tries to stay up to date with with the current ampache version.

There are no docker images for this fork, you need to build the image yourself

This image provides the Ampache server, with full support for transcoding on the fly.

And run with something like this:

docker run -td -p 8080:80 -p 80443:443 \
--stop-signal=SIGRTMIN+3 \ 
--tmpfs /run:size=100M --tmpfs /run/lock:size=100M \
-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
-v /musicdir:/music:ro \
-v /playlistdir:/playlists:rw \
--name=ampache jasminemoeller/ampache

Or with a newer systemd, as in Debian bullseye on the host

docker run -td -p 8080:80 -p 80443:443 \
--stop-signal=SIGRTMIN+3 \ 
--tmpfs /run:size=100M --tmpfs /run/lock:size=100M \
-v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:rw --cgroupns=host \
-v /musicdir:/music:ro \
-v /playlistdir:/playlists:rw \
--name=ampache jasminemoeller/ampache

This will expose your music stored at /musicdir on the host in read-only mode, and your playlists stored at /playlistdir in read-write mode, to the container. You will probably also want to add a -v in some fashion covering /var/www/html/ampache/config, since that you will want to preserve those files as well.

Setup

Now, point a browser at http://localhost:8080/ampache and follow the on-screen steps, using the Ampache install docs as a guide.

Once configured, add a catalog pointing to /music at http://localhost:8080/ampache/index.php#admin/catalog.php?action=show_add_catalog, and another for /playlists.

Ports

By default, this image exposes a HTTP server on port 80, HTTPS on port 443, and also exposes port 81 in case you wish to use it separately for certbot or another Letsencrypt validation system. HTTPS will require additional configuration.

Ampache is exposed at path /ampache on the configured system.
