Maloja-Lidarr Importer Overview This project provides a simple API service that syncs your listening history from a self-hosted Maloja instance to a Lidarr custom import list.
Lidarr's custom import feature requires a JSON list of MusicBrainz Artist IDs. This service automatically fetches your unique artists from Maloja and serves them in the correct format, allowing Lidarr to add new artists to your library.
Features Automatic Synchronization: Fetches and updates the list of artists from your Maloja instance every hour.
MusicBrainz Integration: Resolves artist IDs even when a MusicBrainz ID for a track isn't available.
Docker-Ready: Packaged as a lightweight Docker image for easy deployment.
Prerequisites Docker and Docker Compose
