YourSpotify is a self-hosted application that tracks what you listen and offers you a dashboard to explore statistics about it! It's composed of a web server which polls the Spotify API every now and then and a web application on which you can explore your statistics.

Prerequisites
- You have to own a Spotify application ID that you can create through their dashboard.
- You need to provide the Server environment the public AND secret key of the application (cf. Installation).
- You need to provide an authorized redirect URI to the
docker-compose
file.
A tutorial is available at the end of this readme.
Installation
Using docker-compose
Follow the docker-compose-example.yml to host your application through docker.
services:
server:
image: yooooomi/your_spotify_server
restart: always
ports:
- "8080:8080"
links:
- mongo
depends_on:
- mongo
environment:
API_ENDPOINT: http://localhost:8080 # This MUST be included as a valid URL in the spotify dashboard (see below)
CLIENT_ENDPOINT: http://localhost:3000
SPOTIFY_PUBLIC: __your_spotify_client_id__
SPOTIFY_SECRET: __your_spotify_secret__
mongo:
container_name: mongo
image: mongo:6
volumes:
- ./your_spotify_db:/data/db
web:
image: yooooomi/your_spotify_client
restart: always
ports:
- "3000:3000"
environment:
API_ENDPOINT: http://localhost:8080
Some ARM-based devices might have trouble with Mongo >= 5. I suggest you use the image mongo:4.4.
Installing locally (not recommended)
You can follow the instructions here. Note that you will still have to do the steps below.
Environment
Key | Default value (if any) | Description |
---|---|---|
CLIENT_ENDPOINT | REQUIRED | The endpoint of your web application |
API_ENDPOINT | REQUIRED | The endpoint of your server |
SPOTIFY_PUBLIC | REQUIRED | The public key of your Spotify application (cf Creating the Spotify Application) |
SPOTIFY_SECRET | REQUIRED | The secret key of your Spotify application (cf Creating the Spotify Application) |
TIMEZONE | Europe/Paris | The timezone of your stats, only affects read requests since data is saved with UTC time |
MONGO_ENDPOINT | mongodb://mongo:27017/your_spotify | The endpoint of the Mongo database, where mongo is the name of your service in the compose file |
LOG_LEVEL | info | The log level, debug is useful if you encouter any bugs |
CORS | not defined | List of comma-separated origin allowed (defaults to CLIENT_ENDPOINT) |
COOKIE_VALIDITY_MS | 1h | Validity time of the authentication cookie, following this pattern |
MAX_IMPORT_CACHE_SIZE | Infinite | The maximum element in the cache when importing data from an outside source, more cache means less requests to Spotify, resulting in faster imports |
MONGO_NO_ADMIN_RIGHTS | false | Do not ask for admin right on the Mongo database |
PORT | 8080 | The port of the server, do not modify if you're using docker |
FRAME_ANCESTORS | not defined | Sites allowed to frame the website, comma separated list of URLs (i-want-a-security-vulnerability-and-want-to-allow-all-frame-ancestors to allow every website) |
CORS
- Not defining it will default to authorize only the
CLIENT_ENDPOINT
origin. origin1,origin2
will alloworigin1
andorigin2
.
If you really want to allow every origin no matter what, you can set the
CORS
value toi-want-a-security-vulnerability-and-want-to-allow-all-origins
.
Creating the Spotify Application
For YourSpotify to work you need to provide a Spotify application public AND secret to the server environment. To do so, you need to create a Spotify application here.
- Click on Create app.
- Fill out all the information.
- Set the redirect URI, corresponding to your server location on the internet (or your local network) adding the suffix /oauth/spotify/callback (/api/oauth/spotify/callback if using the linuxserver image).
- i.e:
http://localhost:8080/oauth/spotify/callback
orhttp://home.mydomain.com/your_spotify_backend/oauth/spotify/callback
- Check Web API
- Check I understand and agree
- Hit Settings at the top right corner
- Copy the public and the secret key into your
docker-compose
file under the name ofSPOTIFY_PUBLIC
andSPOTIFY_SECRET
respectively. - Once you have created your application, Spotify wants you to register the users that will be able to access the application. (You don't need to do that for the account that created the application)
- Click the User Management button
- Enter the required information, a name and the email the user's Spotify account has been created with.
- (Optional) You can Request extension if you do not want to register the users by hand.
Importing past history
By default, YourSpotify will only retrieve data for the past 24 hours once registered. This is a technical limitation. However, you can import previous data by two ways.
The import process uses cache to limit requests to the Spotify API. By default, the cache size is unlimited, but you can limit is with the MAX_IMPORT_CACHE_SIZE
env variable in the server.
Supported import methods
Privacy data
Takes a maximum of 5 days. Only gets you the last year of history.
- Request your privacy data at Spotify to have access to your history for the past year here.
- Head to the Settings page and choose the Account data method.
- Input your files starting with
StreamingHistoryX.json
. - Start your import.
Full privacy data (recommended)
Takes a maximum of 30 days. Gets you the whole history since the creation of your account.
- Request your Full privacy data to have access to your history data since the creation of the account here.
- Head to the Settings page and choose the Extended streaming history method.
- Input your files starting with
endsongX.json
. - Start your import.
Troubleshoot
An import can fail:
- If the server reboots.
- If a request fails 10 times in a row.
A failed import can be retried in the Settings page. Be sure to clean your failed imports if you do not want to retry it as it will remove the files used for it.
It is safer to import data at account creation. Though YourSpotify detects duplicates, some may still be inserted.
FAQ
How can I block new registrations?
From an admin account, go to the Settings page and hit the Disable new registrations button.
Songs don't seem to synchronize anymore.
This can happen if you revoked access on your Spotify account. To re-sync the songs, go to settings and hit the Relog to Spotify button.
The web application is telling me it cannot retrieve global preferences.
This means that your web application can't connect to the backend. Check that your API_ENDPOINT env variable is reachable from the device you're using the platform from.
A specific user does not use the application in the same timezone as the server, how can I set a specific timezone for him?
Any user can set his proper timezone in the settings, it will be used for any computed statistics. The timezone of the device will be used for everything else, such as song history.
