Docker How to

Docker Build

I had to add the git dependency to the Dockerfile at line

RUN apk --update add ffmpeg git for it to build without errors

docker build -t zotify .
Do not create directory manually

Let Docker create the /mnt/media/zotify directory

#!/bin/bash                  
## $1 allows to directly input url i.e. `./run.sh http://****`
docker run --rm \                                       
	-v "/mnt/media/zotify:/root/Music" \
	-v "/home/username/docker/zotify-googolFork/env/config:/root/.config/zotify" \
	-p "4381:4381" \
	-it zotify python3 -m zotify $1
	#-it zotify /bin/sh

Authenticate

Username Password Login doesn't work

I've been using this fork of zotify by Googolplexed0 to authenticate via magic link.

  1. Input your username (email)
  2. open link in browser (where you are already logged into same account)
  3. "Continue to the App" button
  4. http://127.0.0.1:4381/login?code=*** change to server's IP directly in address bar and press enter

Changing REDIRECT_ADDRESS to my server's hostname or IP caused an invalid link. I just had to manually change 127.0.0.1 to my server's hostname/IP (in browser's address bar) after clicking spotify auth link.

Commands

docker run --rm -v "$PWD/Zotify Music:/root/Music/Zotify Music" -v "$PWD/Zotify Podcasts:/root/Music/Zotify Podcasts" -it zotify /bin/sh

/app # python3 -m zotify --help

Troubleshooting

zsh

zotify https://open.spotify.com/track/7ICNV0qtWVWvSmoFxQcU7g?si=1a2e7e43c3a44098

zsh: no matches found: https://open.spotify.com/track/7ICNV0qtWVWvSmoFxQcU7g?si=1a2e7e43c3a44098

This is a shell escaping issue with zsh (Z shell). The problem occurs because zsh interprets the ? and & characters in the URL as special shell characters for pattern matching.

1. Quote the URL

Wrap the URL in quotes to prevent zsh from interpreting special characters:

zotify "https://open.spotify.com/track/7ICNV0qtWVWvSmoFxQcU7g?si=1a2e7e43c3a44098"

3. Remove the tracking parameter

The ?si=... part is just Spotify's tracking parameter and isn't needed for downloading:

zotify https://open.spotify.com/track/7ICNV0qtWVWvSmoFxQcU7g
