Inside the image, the call to lidarr works.

So i did mount the main script to insert debug line, same call return http 200 from lidarr ... i'm really out of idea here ...

Oh, i do have a reverse proxy url but i'm not shire that will cause the problem here ...

Firstly, could you please clarify your issue? Your message is unclear, and I don't understanding what you're trying to convey. Secondly, what exactly is the issue you're facing? Are there errors, or is it not functioning as expected? Thirdly, what do the logs say?

• For Lidify logs, you can use a tool like Dozzle.

• For Lidarr logs, you can enable debug logging by going to Settings -> General -> Logging -> Log Level -> Debug. Then check the logs after an interaction.

@TheWicklowWolf I tried to add an artist, but i had a http 200 on Lidify but no trace on lidarr side ...

[TheWicklowWolf]

But does it actually add the artist? When I do a post to /api/v1/artist I get a 201 response, on successful addition.

Edit: What do the Lidify logs say?

[TheLazyGeekGuy]

Not so much in fact, for exemple :

2024/07/01 21:43:41 stderr No Error Message Returned 2024/07/01 21:43:41 stderr Failed to add artist 'Bonnie Tyler' to Lidarr.

[TheWicklowWolf]

Ok,, have you checked the trace logs in Lidarr? There should be some reference to the API post request, something like [POST] /api/v1/artist

[TheLazyGeekGuy]

Many times but no trace in the logs, like it did not reach lidarr.

That's why i tried with the script, and the script worked. No idea of what does not work for now :/

[TheWicklowWolf]

Many times but no trace in the logs, like it did not reach lidarr.

So that's the issue then, if there is nothing in the Lidarr logs then Lidify cannot reach Lidarr...

reverse proxy url

Why are you using a reverse proxy url, can you not just use the IP address for Lidarr directly?

[TheLazyGeekGuy]

reverse proxy url --> lidarr settings but i was talking of URL Base

All my containers are linked in docker by command
network_mode: service:vpn # run on the vpn network

[TheLazyGeekGuy]

I can get the correct artist list but not add to lidarr ?

[TheWicklowWolf]

I can get the correct artist list but not add to lidarr ?

That sounds like a firewall/network issue as one is a inbound connection and one is an outbound (post/get request)

[TheWicklowWolf]

reverse proxy url --> lidarr settings but i was talking of URL Base

All my containers are linked in docker by command network_mode: service:vpn # run on the vpn network

Maybe you can find the IP address of the Lidarr container on that network and use that...

[TheWicklowWolf]

Closed, as this is not an issue for Lidify; it is more related to a network/Docker setup.

@TheWicklowWolf : FOUND !

As i suspected "URL Base" in lidarr , i just need to put the right url :(
