Installation

Using pip

$ pip install deemon

From source

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 -m deemon

Docker

Docker support has been added for amd64, arm64 and armv7 architectures. It is recommended to save your docker run command as a script to execute via cron/Task Scheduler.

Note: Inside deemon's config.json, download_location must be set to /downloads until I can integrate this myself.

Example: Refreshing an existing database

docker run --name deemon \
       --rm \
       -v /path/to/deemon/config:/config \
       -v /path/to/music:/downloads \
       -v /path/to/deemix/config:/deemix  \
       ghcr.io/digitalec/deemon:latest \
       python3 -m deemon refresh

Unraid

Install Python/PIP using either Nerd-tools Plugin (Unraid 6), Python 3 for UNRAID Plugin (Unraid 6 or 7), or manually via command line.

See the installation instructions here or install as root (NOT recommended!):

pip install deemon

Then:

deemon --init

If deemon is not found in your path, you can also call it as a python module:

python3 -m deemon --init

If installed using the root account, the config.json will be located at: /root/.config/deemon/config.json. Edit your configuration using the documentation located here.

Use deemon monitor -h for help on adding artists, playlists, or albums to monitor for new releases.

Installation in a Python Virtual Environment (venv)

If you wish to install deemon and it's dependencies in a sandbox-style environment, I would recommend using venv.

Create a venv and install deemon (you may need to use python3 and pip3 depending on your system):

$ python -m venv venv
$ source ./venv/bin/activate
$ pip install deemon

When you are finished, close the terminal or exit our venv:

$ deactivate

Next time you want to run deemon, activate the venv first:

$ source ./venv/bin/activate
$ deemon refresh

If you are moving to venv from the Docker container, be sure to update your cron/Task Scheduler scripts.

Getting Started

You have to manually add artists, playlists, albums, etc.. deemon does not automatically pull artists unless they're being monitored. Refer to the documentation here.
