fastmusic

fastmusic is an SQLite/.NET Core REST API designed for home music streaming. fastmusic exists because writing it was faster than setting up Ampache/HTTPd/MySQL/PHP/FastCGI.

Getting Started

Clone the repository and make sure you have the .NET Core CLI installed. Make a copy of config_default.txt called config.txt and set the configuration values appropriately. Then, run the following from the root of the repository:

  1. dotnet restore (installs dependencies)

  2. dotnet build (builds fastmusic)

  3. dotnet ef database update (creates an empty database)

  4. dotnet run

  5. You can now start querying the API (try /api/Music/AlbumsByArtist to see all your discographies). The database will populate in the background as fastmusic searches over your collection.

How fast is fastmusic

My library (just under 10,000 audio files) takes ~7 seconds to load into a clean install of fastmusic, with a nice warm drive cache (this is benchmarking the program, not my hard drive). From a cold start of fastmusic (db already initialised), returning the full set of discographies (/api/Music/AlbumsByArtist) takes about 150ms.
