Home reads /api/requests + /api/wanted + /api/artists: summary tiles (on the press / pressed / wanted / watching), the on-the-press job list (state -> stripe + chip + stepped bar via describeJob; needs-attention shows a literal recovery note), a request form (test hooks preserved), an empty state, and a recently-pressed deadwax list. Verified in the real app (dark desktop + mobile); light theme matches the approved comp. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lyra
Self-hosted, multi-source music acquisition and library tool — a replacement for Lidarr + NZBget. Lyra discovers, ranks, downloads, tags, and organizes music across sources of differing quality: Qobuz (lossless/hi-res), Soulseek (P2P), and YouTube (universal lossy fallback), with recommendation-driven discovery via ListenBrainz (Spotify's recommendation/related-artists APIs were retired for new apps, so discovery is MetaBrainz-native and MBID-clean — no Spotify).
Status
Built in three slices:
- Acquisition engine — ✅ done. Resolve a request against MusicBrainz,
match/rank across Qobuz/Soulseek/YouTube, download the best source into an
isolated staging dir, verify completeness, tag (mutagen), and atomically promote
the clean album into
Artist/Album (Year)/## Title.ext. - Library manager — ✅ done. Watched artists (live MB search + follow), per-release monitor toggles + auto-monitor-future, a wanted list with retry + quality-upgrade window, and a worker "monitor" that discovers new releases and auto-grabs through the acquisition pipeline. Plus a library scan that ingests existing on-disk albums as have + monitored + followed, and a per-artist studio-only / show-all release-type filter.
- Discovery — ✅ done. Recommendation-driven finding of new music via
ListenBrainz similar-artists (MBID-native), behind a pluggable
SimilaritySourceinterface. A background sweep (and a "Discover now" button) aggregates artists similar to the ones you follow into a manual review feed of suggested artists and albums at/discover; Follow and Want reuse the slice-2 follow / wanted flows, Dismiss is permanent. Plus a web-side seed-search box. Every suggestion and seed-search result opens a read-only artist preview (/discover/artist/[mbid]) — discography, per-album tracklists, and "in library" / "monitored" badges — where you can Follow or Want before committing. No Spotify (its recommendation APIs are dead for new apps).
Operational notes: the monitor and the discovery sweep are both off by
default — set monitor.enabled=true (+ optional monitor.* tuning) in the
Config table to activate auto-grab/upgrade, and discover.enabled=true (or
Settings → Discovery, + optional discover.* tuning) to activate the scheduled
discovery sweep. The /discover "Discover now" button and seed-search work with the
sweep off. Credentials are entered in Settings and persist across
docker compose up -d --build rebuilds (don't use down -v). Tests run against a
separate lyra_test database (a guard blocks the live DB). Deferred hardening + the
full roadmap live in the implementation-plan "Notes" sections under
docs/superpowers/plans/.
Architecture
Three Docker containers on a home server:
- Next.js app — UI + API (search, request, queue, progress, settings).
- Python worker — all source integration (streamrip, yt-dlp, slskd client, mutagen; MusicBrainz + ListenBrainz for metadata and discovery), running the six-stage acquisition pipeline plus the background monitor and discovery sweeps.
- slskd — off-the-shelf headless Soulseek daemon.
Postgres is the shared source of truth; a shared /music volume is the library.
See docs/superpowers/specs/ for the full design.
