Localib

A mobile PWA designed to retain your Discogs library offline, so you can check your library while collecting without worrying about mobile reception.

Important

This application is in alpha - Expect bugs, reports welcome but PRs will not be accepted at this time.

Installing the PWA

Please see the Mozilla documentation, which covers installing PWAs on all platforms.

Usage

This application currently uses your Personal Access Token, until OAuth is built in. You can grab your token from the Discogs Developer Settings.

You can access settings by going to Profile, then Settings (top-right cog), and putting your username and token in the relevant fields.

For the security-concious: Your details are only used for Discogs API communications. You can verify this by looking at the API file.

Scraper

The project also contains a Discogs image scraper, built in .NET. This is designed to queue up IDs, then grab images from the Discogs API in a slow enough manner that it doesn't hit the rate limiter. This uses a MySQL database to manage state.

Configuration is via appsettings.json or environment variables:

• ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection - Connection to a MySQL database, like Server=localhost;Database=discoarchive;User=root;Password=password;
• PathSettings__ImagePath - Path where the Worker stores to, and the API serves images from.
• Discogs__ConsumerKey - Consumer Key from Discogs Developer Application.
• Discogs__ConsumerSecret - Consumer Secret from Discogs Developer Application.

Example:

docker run --rm \
  --name Localib \
  -e ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection="Server=localhost;Database=disc;User=root;Password=password;" \
  -e PathSettings__ImagePath=/Images \
  -e Discogs__ConsumerKey=somekeyvalue \
  -e Discogs__ConsumerSecret=somekeyvalue \
  -v "$(pwd)/Images:/Images" \
  -p 8080:8080 \
