PMDA

Overview

PMDA (pronounced "pimda") is one music lover's take on building the music library of his dreams — self-hosted, private, and genuinely a joy to use. • Understands your collection — scans huge folders and identifies every album against MusicBrainz, with a smart soft / release-group pass that recovers the covers and metadata other tools give up on. • Keeps it clean — preserves the tags and artwork you trust, quarantines duplicates and incomplete rips, and publishes a fast, PostgreSQL-backed library. • Made for listening — gapless playback with history, cross-user recommendations, clickable artist pages, synced lyrics and waveforms. • Yours everywhere — native iOS and Android apps stream and download your library, lossless FLAC included. • 100% self-hosted — no cloud lock-in, no phoning home, no AI tokens. Your music, your server, your rules. Made for people who are in love with music. 🎵

Template configuration

Config DirectoryPathrw

Persistent PMDA data: PostgreSQL, Redis state, settings, auth state, logs, and generated cache. If you install the optional local MusicBrainz mirror, its data (~170 GB) also lives here - put this on a fast pool with room to spare.

Target: /config
Default: /mnt/user/appdata/pmda
Value: /mnt/user/appdata/pmda

Music RootPathrw

Parent music share. Configure the exact Standard and Incoming source folders later in PMDA Settings.

Target: /music
Default: /mnt/user/Music
Value: /mnt/user/Music

Docker SocketPathrw

Lets PMDA install and manage the optional local MusicBrainz mirror for you (one click, ~170 GB, answers in a millisecond instead of the public 1 request/second). PMDA only creates and controls its own mirror containers through it. Remove this mapping if you never want the one-click mirror.

Target: /var/run/docker.sock
Default: /var/run/docker.sock
Value: /var/run/docker.sock

Review RootPathrw

Root folder used for duplicate and incomplete review targets.

Target: /dupes
Default: /mnt/user/PMDA/review
Value: /mnt/user/PMDA/review

PMDA listens on this port directly on the host (host networking). Change it only if 5005 is already taken on your server, and adjust the WebUI address accordingly.
