Koel is now available

[girish]

Koel is now available in the app store. I packaged it quickly for testing the volume features coming up with Cloudron 6 - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3205/what-s-coming-in-6-0-take-2/22 .

It's marked as unstable at the moment. Just a heads up, I think the app is only easily more useful if you can attach your existing music collection. For now, you can always upload things into /app/data/library using the file manager. Note that anything you put in /app/data is backed up.

As a heads up, unlike Navidrome, Koel doesn't support subsonic API. There is an open issue upstream for this - https://github.com/koel/koel/issues/1085

Unlike Navidrome, you can upload music, though I am not entirely sure how important this is since I doubt most serious users are going to import music via a web interface.

@girish I see you've packaged several personal music management apps compatible with Cloudron 6 upcoming features.

Any chance you could do this with Funkwhale which is also federated, has the possibility to share your music publicly and hasthe subsonic compatibility?

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to give this a spin, but I like that I can connect Navidrome to various Android apps (I'm using Ultrasonic) so don't think I'll bother.

Reading that issue doesn't seem like subsonic API will be coming to Koel anytime soon.

+1

That sounds like the best of all worlds

@ruihildt sure, why not I am just playing around with the different apps to see what they can do and to be honest I am testing it less rigorously because they are only music players. Still writing tests though which takes more time than the packaging.

Also @msbt already finished ampache, so will publish that. LDAP works even!
