💡 How it works

Lidarr usually pulls artist and album infos from their own api api.lidarr.audio, which pulls the data from MusicBrainz.

However, MusicBrainz does not have many artists/albums, especially for some regional niche artist.

This tool helps to enrich Lidarr, by providing a custom proxy, that hooks into the process without modifying Lidarr itself, and injects additional artists/albums from deemix.

To do that, the following steps are performed:

  • mitmproxy runs as a proxy
  • Lidarr needs to be configured to use that proxy.
  • The proxy then redirects all api.lidarr.audio calls to an internally running NodeJS service (127.0.0.1:7171)
  • That NodeJS service enriches the missing artists/albums with the ones found in deemix
  • Lidarr has now additiona artists/albums, and can do its thing.

💻️ Installation

Caution

If you have installed an older version, please adjust the Proxy settings as described below, otherwise the HTTP-requests will fail

Warning

This image does not come with Lidarr nor with the deemix-gui. It's an addition to your existing setup.

Note

The previous setup required to map additional volumes for certificate validation. Thx to @codefaux, here's now a simpler way for installation.

  • Use the provided docker-compose.yml as an example.
    • DEEMIX_ARL=xxx your deezer ARL (get it from your browsers cookies)
    • PRIO_DEEMIX=true If albums with the same name exist, prioritize the ones comming from deemix
    • OVERRIDE_MB=true override MusicBrainz completely - WARNING! This will delete all your artists/albums imported from MusicBrainz.
    • LIDARR_URL=http://lidarr:8686 The URL of your Lidarr instance (with port), so this library can communicate with it. Important for OVERRIDE_MB
    • LIDARR_API_KEY=xxx The Lidarr API Key. Important for OVERRIDE_MB
  • Go to Lidarr -> Settings -> General
    • Certificate Validation: to Disabled
    • Use Proxy: ✅
    • Proxy Type: HTTP(S)
    • Hostname: container-name/IP of the machine where lidarr-deemix is running
    • Port: 8080 (if using container-name), otherwise the port you exposed the service to
    • Bypass Proxy for local addresses: ✅
