linuxserver/musicbrainz

Musicbrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/musicbrainz should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=musicbrainz \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e BRAINZCODE=<code from musicbrainz> \
  -e WEBADDRESS=<ip of host> \
  -e NPROC=<parameter> `#optional` \
  -p 5000:5000 \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/appdata/config>:/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/musicbrainz

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  musicbrainz:
    image: linuxserver/musicbrainz
    container_name: musicbrainz
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - BRAINZCODE=<code from musicbrainz>
      - WEBADDRESS=<ip of host>
      - NPROC=<parameter> #optional
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/data
    ports:
      - 5000:5000
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
`-p 5000`	WebUI
`-e PUID=1000`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`-e PGID=1000`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`-e TZ=Europe/London`	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London
`-e BRAINZCODE=<code from musicbrainz>`	To enter musicbrainz code. see Setting up the application
`-e WEBADDRESS=<ip of host>`	To set ip for host to allow css to render properly, DO NOT ENTER PORT NUMBER.
`-e NPROC=<parameter>`	To set number of proceses, defaults to 5 if unset.
`-v /config`	Config files for musicbrainz.
`-v /data`	Data files for musicbrainz.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

For all updates you should pull the latest image, clear all files and folders in /config and /data and reinitiate the database import by (re)starting the docker. We do not officially support upgrading this container in place with existing data sets.
If you did not set WEBADDRESS env variable, then AFTER iniatilisation is complete you will need to edit the line sub WEB_SERVER { "localhost:5000" } in file /config/DBDefs.pm changing localhost to the ip of your host, this is to allow css to display properly

You must register here to recieve a musicbrainz code to allow you to recieve database updates, it is free. Get Code here.
The initial import and setup of the database can take quite a long time, dependant on your download speed etc, be patient and don't restart the container before it's complete.
It appears there are issues with unraid and using /mnt/user/cache/appdata instead of /mnt/cache/appdata, use /mnt/cache/appdata.

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it musicbrainz /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f musicbrainz
container version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' musicbrainz
image version number
- docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/musicbrainz

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Run/Create

Update the image: docker pull linuxserver/musicbrainz
Stop the running container: docker stop musicbrainz
Delete the container: docker rm musicbrainz
Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
Start the new container: docker start musicbrainz
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Taisun auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)

Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one shot:

docker run --rm \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock taisun/updater \
--oneshot musicbrainz

You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

Update all images: docker-compose pull
- or update a single image: docker-compose pull musicbrainz
Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container: docker-compose up -d musicbrainz
You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
