Hey there, I'm trying to use multiscrobbler to scrobble from LastFM to Koito.

Here's my docker-compose.yml

koito:
    image: gabehf/koito:latest
    container_name: koito
    depends_on:
      - koito-db
    environment:
      - KOITO_DATABASE_URL=redacted
      - KOITO_ALLOWED_HOSTS=redacted
      - KOITO_ENABLE_FULL_IMAGE_CACHE=true
    ports:
      - "4110:4110"
    volumes:
      - /appdata/koito:/etc/koito
    restart: unless-stopped

  multi-scrobbler:
    image: foxxmd/multi-scrobbler
    container_name: multiscrobbler
    environment:
      - TZ=America/Los_Angeles 
      - PUID=1000 # required if running docker on linux host, see main README Docker setup instructions
      - PGID=1000 # required if running docker on linux host, see main README Docker setup instructions
      - KOITO_TOKEN=redacted
      - KOITO_URL=http://koito:4110
      - KOITO_USER=admin
      - BASE_URL=redacted
    volumes:
      - "/appdata/multiscrobbler:/config"
    ports:
      - 9078:9078 # first port is the HOST port multi-scrobbler will serve UI and API on
    restart: unless-stopped

and my lastfm.json:

[
  {
    "name": "lastFM",
    "enable": true,
    "configureAs": "source",
    "data": {
      "apiKey": "redacted",
      "secret": "redacted",
      "redirectUri": "redacted"
    }
  }
]

Multiscrobbler logs don't seem to help:

Any ideas what I'm missing here?

Your configuration looks ok. Can you share more logs from multi-scrobbler startup? If there is an error with Lastfm or it is not being parsed for some reason it should be visible in the logs. Try running multi-scrobbler with the additional env DEBUG_MODE=true

ohpe, got a warning

[2025-08-22 10:47:00.789 -0700] WARN : [App] [API] [Ingress] [LFM] [Ingress] [Lastfm Endpoint] Received request from a new remote address: redacted (redacted) (UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:141.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/141.0) | Expected POST request (track.scrobble payload) but received GET

The [Ingress] [Lastfm Endpoint] Received request log statement will always appear if some service hits that URL, even if Lastfm Endpoint isn't set up (as a nice way to help troubleshoot). It doesn't look like you have Lastfm (Endpoint) setup.

With debug mode on, if multi-scrobbler could see your lastfm file, even if it was empty or invalid json, it would be logging something. Since it's not that likely means your file is not in the /config folder inside the container.

Please verify that /config has your expected configs in it:

From the project folder where your docker-compose.yaml is run

docker compose exec -it multi-scrobbler /bin/sh

Then

ls -la /config

This will list the contents of /config. Please post it here and verify that lastfm.json is present.

Ok, I think that's the issue.

# pwd

# ls -al /config

drwxr-xr-x 4 abc  abc  4096 Aug 20 09:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Aug 22 14:05 ..

drwxr-xr-x 4 abc abc 4096 Aug 20 09:52 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abc abc  278 Aug 20 12:15 lastfm.json

the config folder is double nested, for some reason: /config/config/lastfm.json

Correcting my volume bind mount fixed the issue and I'm getting scrobbles:

volumes:
      - "/appdata/multiscrobbler/config:/config"

Thanks for your help!
