cassette

This project is discontinued. You may check it's successor at https://github.com/compactd/compactd

Cassette is music manager supporting major torrents site to download, sync and stream tracks on-the-go 🎧

Features

• scan a music folder for tracks and artists
• complete REST API (only endpoints used by frontend are implemented right now)
• search on Gazelle based trackers, like PTH.
• download torrents using rTorrent
• stream music in the browser

How to use

Finally beta release is here!

Prequisites

You will need :

• creationix/nvm for node version management.
• yarn for a faster installation
• nginx for proxying and setting a password. Apache is fine too, but you will need to adapt the instructions (you can ask if you want to know how)

Installation

Installing :

nvm install v6
yarn global add pm2 node-cassette
cassette-www

Latest command should start cassette, you can close it now (^C) so we can configure it.

Configuring rTorrent

Open with your favorite text editor ~/.rtorrent.rc. Inside, find the line that begins with network.scgi.open_port. If you can't find it, add this line somewhere:

network.scgi.open_port = localhost:58081

If you found it, just write the down the port number somewhere.

Editing configuration

This steps is only if you have a PTH account and you want to download from cassette. If you don't, skip this step, you will still be able to remotely play music. Use your favorite text editor to edit ~/.cassette/config.json (create folder if it doesn't exists).

Make it look like that:

{
  "pthUsername": "<your PTH username>",
  "pthPassword": "<your pth password>",
  "scgiPort": "58081"
}

Please note that scgiPort has to take your rtorrent scgi port value, as configured/found above.

Proxying via nginx:

The site configuration should look like that

server {
       listen 0.0.0.0:26230 default_server;
       root /var/www/html;
       server_name _;
       location / {
             auth_basic "closed site";
             auth_basic_user_file conf/htpasswd;
             proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000/;
             proxy_set_header Host $host;
             proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
             proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
}

Then you can generate a htpasswd using:

sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/conf
htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/conf/htpasswd <desired username>

Running cassette in the background

Once everything is configured, just run:

pm2 start cassette-www

if you need to stop it:

pm2 stop cassette-www

How to build and develop

$ git clone https://github.com/vinz243/cassette.git
$ npm install yarn -g
$ yarn
$ yarn start

Then head over to localhost:3000/app/library. I prefer using yarn over npm, it's like 10x faster.
