Where Does Lyrion Music Server Store Prefs and Playlists?
Where Lyrion Music Server keeps prefs, cache, playlists and music mounts.
Last updated
Lyrion (the Logitech Media Server successor) keeps prefs with server settings and favorites.opml plus a cache tree with plugins and artwork. Docker maps /config, /music read only and /playlist read write from the host.
Find exact locations under Settings, Information on any install. Prefs matter most for backups since cache rebuilds; keep plugin folders too or selections reinstall from scratch. Match PUID and PGID to host ownership or writes fail silently.
Where Lyrion Music Server stores this, by platform
<lyrion config>/prefs/
Docker /config mount with prefs (server.prefs, favorites.opml) and cache (plugins, artwork). Music stays read only at /music, saved playlists at /playlist. Back up prefs plus cache.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Lyrion to a new machine?
Copy the prefs and cache folders to the same platform layout, then delete the UUID lines from server.prefs before first start. Duplicated IDs from copies break parallel installs, which the forums flag explicitly.
Where are my Lyrion playlists saved?
Set the playlist folder under Basic Settings with write access for the squeezeboxserver user. Volatile per-player queues live as clientplaylist files in prefs, while saved playlists belong in the playlist mount.
