Music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users — monitors RSS feeds, grabs, sorts, and renames tracks from your favorite artists.

Requires ocijail with annotation support (≥ 0.6.0)

This image needs the jail permission allow.mlock, applied via OCI annotations. FreeBSD quarterly ships ocijail 0.4.0, which has no annotation support — the container starts but the permission is silently dropped, so the app can crash or misbehave. Point your pkg repos at the latest branch (ocijail ≥ 0.6.0) and run with the annotation flag shown below. See the ocijail guide.

Version Tags

Tag	Description	Best For
`latest`	Upstream Binary. Built from official release.	Most users — recommended.
`develop`	Develop branch — Servarr's recommended pre-release channel; includes plugin support (`/system/plugins`) and is more tested than nightly. One-way DB migrations; back up /config before switching back to release.	Alternative build.
`nightly`	Nightly branch — bleeding-edge; also has plugin support (`/system/plugins`). One-way DB migrations; back up /config before switching back to release.	Alternative build.
`pkg`	FreeBSD Quarterly. Uses stable, tested packages.	Production stability.
`pkg-latest`	FreeBSD Latest. Rolling package updates.	Staying current.

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions, including the security model for host vs. container privileges.
