## Docker
Cross-platform images are built for x86 (Intel/AMD) and ARM64 (IE Raspberry Pi)

### Recommended Settings
<Tabs groupId="dockerSetting" queryString>
<TabItem value="storage" label="Storage">
You **should** bind a host directory into the container for storing configurations and credentials. Otherwise, these will be lost when the container is updated.
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
# ...
// highlight-start
volumes:
- "./config:/config"
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="networking" label="Networking">
If you are using a [bridge network](https://www.appsdeveloperblog.com/docker-networking-bridging-host-and-overlay/) (default docker setup) you must map a port to the container in order to access the dashboard and use MS with some sources (Webscrobbler, LFM/LZ Endpoints). The default container port is `9078`.
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
# ...
// highlight-start
ports:
- "9078:9078"
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="baseUrl" label="Base URL">
**Optionally**, when
* using a [Source or Client](../configuration/configuration.mdx) that has a "Redirect URI" that you have not explicitly defined
* and
* using a bridge network or
* installing MS on a different machine than the one used to view the dashboard
set the [Base URL](../configuration/configuration.mdx#base-url) as the IP of the host machine. (This is the IP you would use to view the dashboard in a browser)
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
# ...
environment:
// highlight-start
- BASE_URL=http://hostMachineIP
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="tz" label="Timezone">
Set the [timezone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) for the container using the environmental variable `TZ`.
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
# ...
environment:
# Specify timezone from TZ Database name found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
// highlight-start
- TZ=America/New_York
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="linuxHost" label="Linux Host">
If you are running this container with **Docker** on a **Linux Host** you **should** specify `user:group` permissions of the user who owns the **configuration directory** on the host to avoid [docker file permission problems.](https://ikriv.com/blog/?p=4698) These can be specified using the [environmental variables **PUID** and **PGID**.](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/understanding-puid-and-pgid)
To get the UID and GID for the current user run these commands from a terminal:
* `id -u` -- prints UID
* `id -g` -- prints GID
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ro" label="Read Only">
MS can be hardended by setting the file system as read only with [`read_only`](https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services/#read_only), with a few exceptions:
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
image: foxxmd/multi-scrobbler
# ...
// highlight-start
read_only: true
tmpfs:
- /run:exec
- /tmp:noexec
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="caching" label="Caching">
**Optionally**, add a [Valkey](https://valkey.io/) service to your stack for [secondary caching](/configuration/?cacheType=valkey#secondary-caching-configuration) to take advantage of faster performance and reduced memory usage.
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
image: foxxmd/multi-scrobbler
# ...
environment:
# ...
// highlight-start
CACHE_METADATA=valkey
CACHE_METADATA_CONN=redis://valkey:6379
// highlight-end
# ...
// highlight-start
valkey:
image: valkey/valkey
volumes:
- valkeydata:/data
volumes:
valkeydata:
driver: local
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Docker Usage Example
:::tip
See the [**Quick Start Guide**](/quickstart) for another guided docker-compose example
:::
The example scenario:
* [Jellyfin **Source**](/configuration/sources/jellyfin)
* [Maloja **Client**](/configuration/sources/maloja)
* Serving app on port `9078`
* Docker container located on a different IP (`192.168.0.100`) so use [Base URL](/configuration#base-url)
* Config/data directory on host machine in a directory next to `docker-compose.yml`
* Linux uid/gid is `1000:1000`
* Optional caching using valkey (after uncommenting)
See [`docker-compose.yml`](#docker) sample above for more options and annotations.
```yaml title="docker-compose.yml"
services:
multi-scrobbler:
image: foxxmd/multi-scrobbler
container_name: multi-scrobbler
environment:
- TZ=Etc/GMT # Specify timezone from TZ Database name found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
- JELLYFIN_APIKEY=c9fae8756fbf481ebd9c5bb56bd6540c
- JELLYFIN_URL=192.168.0.101:8096
- JELLYFIN_USER=MyUser
- BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.100:9078
- MALOJA_URL=http://domain.tld:42010
- MALOJA_API_KEY=1234
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
# uncomment along with valkey service/volume below for better caching
#- CACHE_METADATA=valkey
#- CACHE_METADATA_CONN=redis://valkey:6379
volumes:
- ./config:/config
ports:
- 9078:9078
restart: unless-stopped
#valkey:
# image: valkey/valkey
# volumes:
# - valkeydata:/data
#volumes:
# valkeydata:
# driver: local
```
## Local Installation
After installation see [service.md](service.md) to configure multi-scrobbler to run automatically in the background.
### Nodejs
Clone this repository somewhere and then install from the working directory
```shell
git clone https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler.git .
cd multi-scrobbler
nvm use # optional, to set correct Node version
npm install
npm run docs:install && npm run build
npm run start
```
#### Rollup build error
During building if you encounter an error like: `Your current platform "XXX" and architecture "XXX" combination is not yet supported by the native Rollup build.`
Modify `overrides` in `package.json` to use `@rollup/wasm-node` as a drop-in replacement for rollup:
```json
"overrides": {
"spotify-web-api-node": {
"superagent": "$superagent"
}
"vite": {
"rollup": "npm:@rollup/wasm-node@^4.9.6"
}
}
```
See [this issue](https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler/issues/135#issuecomment-1927080260) for more detail.

:::tip
The web UI and API is served on port `9078`. This can be modified using the `PORT` environmental variable.

### Flatpak
:::warning[Unsupported]
Flatpak/Flathub installs are no longer supported. You can still build MS as a [Flatpak app from source.](../development/flatpak) See more information about [Flatpak EOL.](https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler/issues/287)
