Polaris

Polaris is a self-hosted music collection and streaming server for browsers and mobile devices.

Deployment

  • The image comes from the Connectical container project endorsed by the Polaris installation guide.
  • Open the configured HTTP port, create an administrator, and add /music as the collection directory.
  • Music is mounted read-only. Cache and application data are owned by Polaris UID/GID 100:100.
  • Application data includes accounts, playlists, the collection index, and the application database. Back it up before upgrading.
  • Uninstalling the app does not delete music, cache, or application data.

Data directories

Variable Purpose Default
POLARIS_MUSIC_DIR Read-only music library ./data/music
POLARIS_CACHE_DIR Scan and artwork cache ./data/cache
POLARIS_DATA_DIR Accounts, index, and database ./data/data

The initialization script rejects symbolic links in configured directories and recursively assigns cache and data ownership to 100:100. Use dedicated directories for Polaris.
