Current Project Context

Brainarr Infrastructure Status

Containerization: â No Docker images published
Existing Docker Usage: â Uses Docker to extract Lidarr assemblies
Deployment: â ï¸ Manual installation only
Orchestration: â No Kubernetes/Helm charts
IaC: â ï¸ Examples exist in documentation but not CI-integrated

Existing Docker References

.github/workflows/ci.yml – Extracts from ghcr.io/hotio/lidarr:pr-plugins-2.14.2.4786
docs/deployment/ – Docker Compose examples (not automated)
docs/deployment/ – Dockerfile examples (not automated)

Enhancement Opportunities

Publish Pre-packaged Images: Lidarr + Brainarr combined image
Plugin-only Image: Lightweight plugin distribution
Multi-arch Support: amd64, arm64, arm/v7
Registry Publishing: GHCR automated in release workflow
Helm Chart: Kubernetes deployment automation

Best Practices

Docker Image Design

Option 1: Pre-packaged Lidarr + Brainarr

FROM ghcr.io/hotio/lidarr:pr-plugins-2.14.2.4786

LABEL org.opencontainers.image.source="https://github.com/RicherTunes/brainarr"
LABEL org.opencontainers.image.description="Lidarr with Brainarr AI plugin pre-installed"
LABEL org.opencontainers.image.licenses="MIT"

# Copy plugin files
COPY --chown=hotio:hotio artifacts/plugin/ /config/plugins/RicherTunes/Brainarr/

# Add health check
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --start-period=60s --retries=3 \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:8686/ping || exit 1

EXPOSE 8686

ENTRYPOINT ["/init"]

Benefits:

One-command deployment
No manual plugin installation
Consistent versions
Easy upgrades

Option 2: Plugin-only Sidecar

FROM alpine:latest

LABEL org.opencontainers.image.source="https://github.com/RicherTunes/brainarr"
LABEL org.opencontainers.image.description="Brainarr plugin files for mounting into Lidarr"

# Create plugin directory structure
RUN mkdir -p /plugin/RicherTunes/Brainarr

# Copy plugin artifacts
COPY artifacts/plugin/ /plugin/RicherTunes/Brainarr/

# Create volume for mounting
VOLUME ["/plugin"]

# Use scratch base for minimal size
FROM scratch
COPY --from=0 /plugin /plugin
VOLUME ["/plugin"]

Benefits:

Minimal image size
Volume mount approach
Independent updates
Flexible deployment

Multi-Architecture Builds

# In .github/workflows/release.yml
- name: Build and push multi-arch image
  uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
  with:
    context: .
    platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7
    push: true
    tags: |
      ghcr.io/richertunes/brainarr:${{ env.VERSION }}
      ghcr.io/richertunes/brainarr:latest

Image Tagging Strategy

latest – Latest stable release
v1.3.1 – Specific version
v1.3 – Minor version track
v1 – Major version track
develop – Development branch
pr-123 – Pull request builds
sha-abc123 – Commit SHA builds

Docker Compose for Development

version: '3.9'

services:
  lidarr:
    image: ghcr.io/richertunes/lidarr-brainarr:latest

      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - BRAINARR_API_KEY=${BRAINARR_API_KEY}
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./music:/music
      - ./downloads:/downloads
    ports:
      - "8686:8686"
    restart: unless-stopped
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8686/ping"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 60s

Deployment Strategies

Blue-Green Deployment

Deploy new version (green) alongside current (blue)
Run health checks on green
Switch traffic from blue to green
Keep blue running for quick rollback
Decommission blue after validation period

Canary Deployment

Deploy new version to subset of instances (10%)
Monitor metrics and error rates
Gradually increase traffic (25%, 50%, 100%)
Rollback if issues detected
Full rollout when stable

Rolling Deployment

Update instances one at a time
Health check before proceeding to next
Maintain service availability throughout
Automatic rollback on failures

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions Container Workflow

name: Container Build and Publish

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - 'v*.*.*'
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build-and-push:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3

      - name: Log in to GHCR
        uses: docker/login-action@v3

          cache-to: type=gha,mode=max

Troubleshooting

Image Size Too Large

Problem: Docker image is 500MB+ Solutions:

Use multi-stage builds
Clean up package caches
Avoid installing dev dependencies
Use .dockerignore

Slow Container Builds

Problem: Build takes 10+ minutes Solutions:

Enable Docker layer caching
Use GitHub Actions cache
Parallelize builds
Optimize layer order

Permission Issues

Problem: Plugin files not readable in container Solutions:

Set correct PUID/PGID
Use COPY –chown in Dockerfile
Check volume mount permissions

Health Check Failures

Problem: Container marked unhealthy Solutions:

Increase start-period
Verify health check endpoint
Check Lidarr startup time
Review container logs

Implementation Roadmap

Phase 1: Basic Containerization

Create Dockerfile for Lidarr + Brainarr image
