spotifybackup

This Docker image allows you to automate a full backup of your Spotify Library every day using Spotishell PS module.
This full backup can be used to be restored over your account or another one.

Prerequisites

You first need to create a Spotify Application.

Step1: Go to the Spotify for Developers Dashboard and create an app:

  • App name : spotifybackup
  • App description : spotifybackup
  • Redirect URI : http://localhost:8080/spotishell

Step2: Collect Client ID and Secret

Setup connection to Spotify

To setup Spotify connection, you need to run the image in "setup mode" using this commandline and follow instruction:
docker run -it --rm -v spotifybackup:/data --entrypoint pwsh domochip/spotifybackup setup.ps1

E.g:

Provide Client ID and Client Secret then copy authorization URL:
setup1.png
Paste authorization URL in your browser, read then accept:
setup2.png
Copy the redirected url from the address bar:
setup3.png
Paste it into the setup container window (you should then receive a green result):

Resulting connection information are then stored into the spotifybackup docker volume
