lidarr-on-steroids

This repository bundles a modded version of Lidarr and Deemix into a docker image featuring :

• Native Deemix integration as an indexer and downloader for Lidarr
• Automatic Lidarr and Deemix configuration
• Automatic conversion from any format with ffmpeg
• Podman compatibility with rootless mode

This allows an easy deployment, with the advantage of having a direct control over Deemix indexing and downloader capacities into Lidarr :

Automatic configuration

Deemix comes with optimal settings allowing Lidarr integration, in particular regarding the folder structure ("createCDFolder" is required for this to work). DEEMIX_SINGLE_USER environment variable is also set to true to allow the setup script to read the corresponding ARL.

The setup service will install the Deemix plugin. This requires Lidarr to be restarted once.

The only manual manipulation you'll have to do is filling your Deezer credentials in Deemix web UI (port 6595 by default). Once the /config_deemix/login.json is filled with the resulting ARL, the setup will be able to create the following :

• /music root folder if no other root folder is configured
• Delay profile allowing Deemix to be used by automatic search
• Deemix as an indexer
• Deemix as a download client
• Flac2Custom script connection if FLAC2CUSTOM_ARGS is set

In case you don't want the automagical part (which is really the only value of this image), just set AUTOCONFIG environment variable to false.

Audio files conversion

The image uses a modded version of lidarr-flac2mp3 allowing conversion from any format.

To enable conversion on Lidarr import, create a new Connection to a Custom Script. You can also provide your own custom conversion script, see lidarr-flac2mp3 for more information.

If AUTOCONFIG is set to true (default) and you have set FLAC2CUSTOM_ARGS, this step done for you :

Acknowledgment

This project is just a compilation of various tools made possible by these projects :

• Lidarr and especially ta264 for the plugin integration
• lidarr-flac2mp3 for the format conversion script
• Deemix for the downloader backend
• hotio for the base docker image

Alternatively, you could use Deemixrr which pretty much offers the same functionalities without the *starr of the various Sonarr forks.
