Subsonic Cache/Path

[jagaller2000]

Hi there,

I'm using Navidrome as my music provider with PodKit. According to the documentation, the path config of a subsonic source is used to cache downloaded files: A local directory where podkit caches downloaded audio files

Strangely this does not seem to work using Docker Compose, where I mounted a host directory as volume into the container at the correct location referenced by the config file. The directories are all 777 for good measure, but they stay empty.

[music.general]
type = "subsonic"
url = "https://mymusic.server"
username = "music-sync"
password = ""
path = "/tmp/subsonic-cache/music-sync"

services:
  podkit:
    image: ghcr.io/jvgomg/podkit:latest
    command: daemon
    restart: unless-stopped
    entrypoint: ["/podkit-entrypoint.sh"]
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - PODKIT_POLL_INTERVAL=1
      - PODKIT_APPRISE_URL=http://apprise:8000/notify
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./subsonic-cache:/tmp/subsonic-cache/
    privileged: true

Additionally, I wanted to inquire whether it would make sense to also cache transcoded files? I know the documentation recommends to offload transcoding from PodKit, e.g. providing AAC as source. But that's not really useful to store my music library, as I usually want the loss-less original files stored. Especially after this is all currently more a beta software and I have to try and wipe my iPods more than five times a day to get any music on it.

Really appreciate your work!
