## Environment Variables

| Variable | Description |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| `MYSPOTIFY_DATA` | Local path for database storage |
| `MYSPOTIFY_DOMAIN` | Domain to access the web interface|
| `MYSPOTIFY_BACKEND_DOMAIN` | Domain for the backend API |
| `MYSPOTIFY_APP_PUBLIC` | Spotify application public key |
| `MYSPOTIFY_APP_SECRET` | Spotify application secret key |
| Variable | Description |
|----------------------------|------------------------------------|
| `MYSPOTIFY_DOMAIN` | Domain to access the web interface |
| `MYSPOTIFY_BACKEND_DOMAIN` | Domain for the backend API |
| `MYSPOTIFY_APP_PUBLIC` | Spotify application public key |
| `MYSPOTIFY_APP_SECRET` | Spotify application secret key |
| `MYSPOTIFY_MONGO_USER` | MongoDB root user |
| `MYSPOTIFY_MONGO_PASSWORD` | MongoDB root password (URL-safe) |

MongoDB creates the root user only on its first start, with an
empty volume. Changing these variables later does not change the
user; update it inside MongoDB as well.

## Volumes

| Volume | Mount | Contents | Backup |
|------------------------|------------|------------------|---------|
| `myspotify-mongo-data` | `/data/db` | MongoDB database | Dokploy |

The stack does not back itself up. Configure a Dokploy compose
backup for the `myspotify-mongo` service (database `your_spotify`,
type MongoDB, with the root credentials above) and test a restore.

## Migrating from the host-path version

Earlier versions stored MongoDB in `${MYSPOTIFY_DATA}/mongo`
without authentication. The new volume starts empty; nothing is
migrated automatically.

1. Stop the old stack and dump the old database:
`docker exec myspotify-mongo mongodump -d your_spotify --archive --gzip > your_spotify.archive.gz`
2. Deploy this version, so MongoDB creates the root user in the
new volume.
3. Restore the dump into the new database (Dokploy restore, or
`mongorestore --archive --gzip --drop` with the root
credentials) before using the app.

## Networks

Connects to `cloudflare-exposed`
(must be created by the `cloudflared` service first).
No network is declared in the compose file — Dokploy
attaches its own network automatically on deploy.
The web interface (port 3000) and the API (port 8080) are
published through Dokploy domains.

Provide a migration path for existing MongoDB data.

If an existing installation upgrades without a restore, the new volume starts without its listening history. The backend then reads the new database, so the history disappears from the application. Provide upgrade steps to dump the old database and restore it into the new volume.

Review comment at @myspotify/docker-compose.yml at line 46:
Document an upgrade path for the MongoDB volume change: instruct existing
installations to dump the listening-history database from the old database
before switching volumes, then restore that dump into the new database before
the backend reads from it. Identify the old and new database instances clearly,
and do not imply that the new volume migrates data automatically.

Make the MongoDB host path configurable again.

When operators set MYSPOTIFY_DATA, the database still uses Docker’s volume configuration. Restore environment-based host-path configuration while retaining the named volume.

As per coding guidelines, “Persistent data paths are configurable via env vars.”

Review comment at @myspotify/docker-compose.yml at line 46:
Update the MongoDB data mount in the Compose configuration to use MYSPOTIFY_DATA
as a configurable host-path source, defaulting to the existing
myspotify-mongo-data named volume when unset. Retain the named-volume
declaration and ensure the default behavior remains unchanged.

Skipped: the stack is deployed with Dokploy, which backs up the database itself (mongodump), and the other services in this repo already moved to named volumes. Keeping a host-path option would only re-add the old layout.

@finallyjay Understood. I applied the persistent-path guidance too broadly. I withdraw the host-path suggestion.

The separate migration finding remains: the new volume does not contain the old database automatically. Existing installations need to dump and restore it.

- **Volume mounts:**
  Persistent data paths are configurable via env vars.
  Use read-only mounts (`:ro`) where appropriate
  (e.g., `/etc/localtime`).
