PMDA

Docker app from PMDA's Repository

Overview

PMDA (pronounced "pimda") is a self-hosted music library app and processing pipeline for large collections. It scans and imports folders, preserves trusted provider tags and artwork, matches albums, publishes a fast PostgreSQL-backed library, powers playback, history, recommendations, artist pages, and clean downstream exports, and can also isolate duplicate or incomplete releases for review.
