v1.0.0-alpha.1 — Self-Hosted Release

First public alpha of WebMiniDisc Ultimate — a self-hosted fork of Web MiniDisc Pro by Asivery.

What's new in this fork

• Remote music library — browse your NAS/NFS/SMB/local collection directly in the UI
• Album art — from embedded tags and folder files (cover.jpg, folder.jpg, artist.jpg, etc.)
• MD Label Maker — design and print MiniDisc case labels with multiple size presets; new Artist Image button pulls artist art from your library
• ETA progress — remaining time shown during ATRAC encoding uploads
• Error recovery — transfer/encoding operations retry on recoverable failures instead of stopping
• EEPROM backup/restore — via factory mode for advanced device management
• Optional HQ ATRAC sidecar — self-hosted encoder via the hq-atrac Docker profile
• Upstream fixes cherry-picked from asivery/webminidisc

Getting started

See the README for full setup instructions.

cp .env.example .env   # edit MUSIC_PATH to point at your music folder
docker-compose up -d

Then open https://<your-ip>:8443 and accept the self-signed cert warning.

Notes

• Alpha — core features work but expect rough edges
• WebUSB requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost)
• EEPROM restore is for advanced users only — keep a backup first
• SSL cert is self-signed and auto-generated at build time — browsers will show a security warning on LAN IP access, click through to proceed
