same issue here. In my case I try to add content from Spotify if that matters. by the way: When I exec the api docker itself it all works flawlessly (also e.g. start a spotify song). So I assume that the issue is just a communication problem between controller and api.

[stepman0]

Hmm, my setup is running fine, but I did not change any config over the last months.

Dis you use the IP of your host when configuring the link to the API, because 127.0.0.1 or localhost do not work.

[sir-andreas]

I really had 127.0.0.1 in the config. But also with the name of the host I get the same error. :-(

[tavoli-rgb]

cannot get this to work lxc container with kids controller on proxmox works without a problem

have try the docker immage on different hosts and configs, always the same error ... ionic app runs and is reachable via network, but no chance to add content to the library

[stepman0]

I was away from home this weekend, I will have a look on this tomorrow

[sir-andreas]

Sorry to ask, but did you get any idea yet? @stepman0

[stepman0]

Sorry I was busy the lasr days. I just triggered a new build and will check this on my dev system.

[stepman0]

@tavoli-rgb: Which version of node do you use in your lxc container?

[tavoli-rgb]

uuups ... very old 12.22.9

[stepman0]

I just pushed new images - can you check?

[sir-andreas]

still the same issue, sorry. Always when I want to add something from Spotify (but also from the SONOS Library, so seems to be no Spotify specific issue) the container throws the following eror:

/sonos-kids-controller/server.js:40 if (error) throw err; ReferenceError: err is not defined at /sonos-kids-controller/server.js:40:24 Sonos-Kids-Controller@1.6.0 start node server.js App listening on port 8200

Do the docker containers work on your side?

[sir-andreas]

Quick update: Just installed the Sonos Kids Controller on a vanilla alpine docker (even using the existing docker hosting the API) and this works without any problems.

[stepman0]

Not so good news: I can finally reproduce the bug: Both installations are not working anymore. Now my kids are putting pressure on this ;-)

@sir-andreas: So you started with plain alpine image, or with node-alpine? In both cases, which version of node did you install?

[stepman0]

@tavoli-rgb , @sir-andreas

I uploaded my docker-compose.yml and samples of the config files in a matching directory structure. You can clone this repo, copy the .sample.json files located in ./data/... (e.g. copy ./data/api/settings.sample.json to ./data/api/settings.json) and change the value of your credentials. Also change the IP in config.json.

Afterwards you can start with the script start.sh, is wraps docker-compose pull and up.

This works on my kids' raspberrys and also on my dev system.

In case you get an error due to unreachable code, this is related to libseccomp. I updated the Readme...

It was the pure alpine image. I installed node and npm with a simple apk add --update nodejs npm After that I just followed the installation instruction from Thyraz.

Does produce the same error on my system. What I learned now is, that the controller works with content that was added direcly in the data.json file. So the issue is just when I use the controller interface to add new things.

[stepman0]

Ah ok. I added all my content via data.json file, I only used the webinterface in the very beginning to get the syntax.

[stepman0]

This is an example data.json I use, everything comes from Spotify.

[
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Petronella Apfelmus"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Winnie Puuh album:Folge"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "category": "music",
        "query": "artist:Rolfs Zuckowski album:Rolfs Hasengeschichte"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "category": "music",
        "query": "artist:Sternschnuppe album:Lustige Tierlieder"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Spirit album:Folge"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Leo Lausemaus album:Folge"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Die Biene Maja NOT Liederkinder"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Meine Freundin Conni"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Conni album:Pony"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Karoline Sander"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:Bibi und Tina album:Folge year:1999-2021"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:PAW Patrol album:Folge year:2020-2021"
    },
    {
        "type": "spotify",
        "query": "artist:PJ Masks"
    }
]

How does your data.json look like, when you create it via webinterface?

[sir-andreas]

The same like yours. The issue is just, that my kids would like to add things by their own. I will add their wishes manually in the meantime.

Here is a example: [ { "type": "spotify", "category": "music", "query": "artist:\"Wincent Weiss\"" }, { "type": "spotify", "category": "music", "query": "artist:\"Alvaro Soler\"" }, { "type": "spotify", "category": "music", "id": "4Qj3Qd8U9x0vBMB2fORce5" } ]

Good option to add just a single album is the third one, where you can also refer to the spotify ID itself. (You can find that in the link, when you share an album in Spotify)

[sir-andreas]

And another thing: I also could create a workung application by using the node base image: image Just had to follow the installation from Tyraz adding the specific config files.

Really strange why this build does not work.

[sir-andreas]

Just another question: Do you also have this issue with your installation?
