Setlistto

Installation Options

Run Setlistto locally, on a home server, or on a supported cloud host.

Deployment options

Setlistto is self-hosted software. Each installation uses the operator's own hosting environment, persistent storage, Spotify Developer app, and backup process. Most bands should start with the local Docker install, then move to a public host only if they need always-on access outside one machine.

Option 1

Local Docker

Run a one-container install with persistent state mounted outside the container.

Option 2

Cloud self-hosting

Deploy the Rails app to a VPS or supported app host, usually backed by managed Postgres.

Option 3

Managed install

Get help choosing a supported target, configuring the instance, and connecting Spotify.

Blah, blah, blah…
sync my songs already!
Or, Let's Dig In

Local Docker quick start

The installer pulls the public Docker image, starts a one-container app with a persistent Docker volume, chooses an available local port, and prints the URL to open.

curl -fsSL https://setlistto.com/scripts/docker-install.sh | sh

Setlistto will prepare its data files and send you to the first-run setup screen. To inspect the installer first, open https://setlistto.com/scripts/docker-install.sh in your browser.

What you need before setup

  • Docker installed on the machine that will run Setlistto.
  • The public setlistto/setlistto Docker image.
  • A Spotify Developer account and a Spotify app for this instance.
  • The public or local URL where you will open Setlistto.

First-run Spotify setup

  1. Create a Spotify app and copy its Client ID.
  2. Open Setlistto and confirm the Setlistto URL.
  3. Copy the redirect URI shown by Setlistto into your Spotify app.
  4. Save the Client ID in Setlistto.
  5. Connect Spotify with the account that should own the instance.

Setlistto uses Authorization Code with PKCE, so it does not need a Spotify Client Secret.
