## Common questions

### How do I run CherryMusic in Docker with the right port and volume mounts?

Run the container with host port 8070 mapped to container port 8070. Mount a host config directory to /root/.config/cherrymusic and your music library to /music. You can also mount /etc/localtime read-only for timezone handling.

### Does CherryMusic come with its own daemon, and how do I run it as a service on Arch?

CherryMusic does not include a daemon, but the AUR packages provide a systemd service file. Start it as cherrymusic@user.service, where user is the account that should run CherryMusic, and do not use root.

### Does CherryMusic require a database or large KDE dependencies to install?

No, CherryMusic is designed to keep the dependency count low. Cherrypy is the only non-optional dependency, avoiding the need for a database or large KDE dependencies.

### Can CherryMusic 0.29.0 stream MP3 files to clients?

Yes, the 0.29.0 release notes state that it streams MP3 music to clients.
