Documentation

Configuration

It's necessary to configure the following credentials:

Gather Credentials

Access Gather API keis to get your API_KEY.

last.fm Credentials

If you will scrobble from last.fm.

Create a last.fm API account to get your API_KEY and API_SECRET.

Spotify Credentials

If you will scrobble from Spotify.

Access your Spotify account dashboard and create a new app (in case you don't have one or do not want to use an existing one). And get your CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET.

Also add a redirect URI in the Edit Settings. Suggested value: http://127.0.0.1:9090.

The spotispy will instantiate a server to receive the access token. More info here.

You can configure your credentials in 4 ways and with respective priorities:

keyring (recommended)

keyring set gather-scrobble GATHER_API_KEY

Docker Configuration

Keyring

The most common way to manage credentials in docker containers is through environment variables, but in this case, you can still use keyring, through the third-party keyrings.cryptfile, you will need to create a file with your credentials, mount a volume with the file in the path /root/.local/share/python_keyring/cryptfile_pass.cfg and set the KEYRING_CRYPTFILE_PASSWORD environment variable with the password that you used to create the file:

$ docker run -v $(echo $HOME)/.local/share/python_keyring/cryptfile_pass.csg:/root/.local/share/python_keyring/cryptfile_pass.cfg -e KEYRING_CRYPTFILE_PASSWORD=secret_password ...

Env File

Add your credentials to a .env file and use it with the --env-file option:

$ docker run --env-file /path/to/myfile.env ...

Cache

To avoid being asked to authorize the last.fm/Spotify application in every usage, you should mount a volume to save the gather-scrobble cache folder:

$ docker run -v /path/to/the/host/cache/folder:/root/.config

Docker Usage

The docker container works as an executable, so you can use the same CLI command interface, for example, to test your configuration you can do this:

$ docker run --env-file /path/to/myfile.env -v /path/to/the/host/cache/folder:/root/.config -it pyanderson/gather-scrobble:0.0.7 test "aAa0aAaAaaA0Aaaa/Name"

Testing connection with last.fm...

FAQ

How to get the space_id value? First enter in the space you want to scrobble, the space_id will be in the URL after the /app/. E.g., in the URL "https://app.gather.town/app/aAa0aAaAaaA0Aaaa/Name" the space_id is aAa0aAaAaaA0Aaaa/Name.
