oscarcarlsson/docker-cherrymusic

A super small alpine based docker container that provides the Cherrymusic media server

cherrymusic as a docker service

Quickstart

• create the data-container:

docker create --name cherrymusic-data -v /home/cm/.config/cherrymusic -v /home/cm/.¬local/share/cherrymusic klingtdotnet/cherrymusic

• run once to create the initial configuration

docker run --rm --volumes-from cherrymusic-data -it klingtdotnet/cherrymusic

• edit the configuration

docker run --rm --volumes-from cherrymusic-data -it klingtdotnet/vim vim /home/cm/.¬config/cherrymusic/cherrymusic.conf

• normal run with read-only mounted music volume (or as SystemD service)

docker run --rm --volumes-from cherrymusic-data --volume /path/to/local/music:/home/cm/basedir/:ro -it klingtdotnet/vim vim /home/cm/.¬config/cherrymusic/cherrymusic.conf

SystemD Service

• copy the [email protected] file to /etc/systemd/system and run systemctl daemon-reload
• edit the environment file cherrymusic and copy it to /etc/sysconfig
• run the service with systemctl start cherrymusic@someuser or enable it (start automatically on boot) systemctl enable cherrymusic@someuser

nginx Reverse Proxy Example

• to generate a self-signed certificate: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout music.klingt.net.pem -out music.klingt.net.crt -days 360

erver {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name music.some.domain;
    return 301 https://music.some.domain$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen       443 ssl spdy;
    listen       [::]:443 ssl spdy;
    server_name  music.some.domain;

    ssl_certificate         /etc/nginx/certs/_.some.domain/_.some.domain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key     /etc/nginx/certs/_.some.domain/_.some.domain.key;
    ssl_password_file       /etc/nginx/certs/_.some.domain/.pass;

    ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

    location / {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        # Set proxy headers for the passthrough
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        # Let the Set-Cookie header through.
        proxy_pass_header Set-Cookie;
        proxy_pass  http://localhost:8765/;
    }
}

SELinux Troublehshooting

• certificate not readable by nginx, despite correct permmissions -> update SELinux context

restorecon -v -R /path/to/certs/

• nginx returns 502 Bad Gateway -> add port to allowed http ports

semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 20800
# check
semanage port -l | grep 20800

• note that semanage takes a lot of resources (I would like to know why), maybe you have to setup a swapfile for systems with less than 512MB of RAM. Otherwise it will stop with a KILLED message
