Lyrion Music Server cannot find any files:

Herbie12 · January 14, 2026, 5:03pm

I installed the Lyrion Music Server as a Docker container on my QNAP NAS TS 264, version 9.3. The container and server are running. I also assigned a static IP address to Bridge so that my Squeezebox Radio could find the server. Everything seems to be working correctly. My player is detected and connects to the server.

However, the Lyrion Music Server isn’t finding any files in my multimedia directory, /music/Herbert. The search on the server aborts in a fraction of a second, reporting that 0 files were found.

P.S. I have no prior experience with Docker and YAML.

First step would to post your compose YAML, to see if you mounted the correct storage locations

Herbie12 · January 14, 2026, 5:37pm

version: ‘3.9’
services:
lms:
image: lmscommunity/lyrionmusicserver:latest
restart: always
volumes:
- /share/container/lms-config:/config:rw
- /share/Multimedia/Music:/music:ro
- /share/Multimedia/Playlists:/playlist:rw
ports:
- “9000:9000”
- “9090:9090”
- “3438:3438/tcp”
- “3438:3438/udp”

What OS is on your TS-464 ? QTS or QuTS ?

Herbie12 · January 14, 2026, 6:19pm

The OS is QTS 5.2. [translated by Dolbyman] ..

Please make sure to post in English, this is an English forum!

Did you connect to the container and made sure the mounted resources have files in them ? (this would make sure that no typos or capitalization errors are in it)

Herbie12 · January 15, 2026, 11:19am

Sorry, I didn’t know that. Now in Englisch.
I don’t quite understand:
The container is active.
FileStation indicates that files are located in the specified folders.
I can’t find any typos in the YAML file.

Herbie12 · January 19, 2026, 4:40pm

Am I no longer receiving new replies…?

I just tried to setup the container (slightly altered YAML to yours)

version: '3'
services:
  lms:
    container_name: lms
    image: lmscommunity/lyrionmusicserver
    volumes:
      - /share/Container/lms-config:/config:rw
      - /share/Multimedia/Samples:/music:ro
      - /share/Multimedia/Playlists:/playlist:rw
    ports:
      - 9000:9000/tcp
      - 9090:9090/tcp
      - 3483:3483/tcp
      - 3483:3483/udp
    environment:
      - HTTP_PORT=9000
    restart: always

QNAP TS-853BU

works fine, media added is added to it right after a manual scan (used the QNAP Sample folder with two demo songs and threw a FLAC album into the directory)

Herbie12 · January 20, 2026, 10:13am

I reconfigured the container using the slightly modified YAML file you provided. The result is that no media is found, and the search aborts after a few moments.

I contacted the Squeezebox Community. They gave up at a certain point, suggesting:

“- EXTRA_ARGS=–advertiseaddr=192.168.178.xxx” must be the IP address of the computer running Docker (). Then I was able to access the Docker LMS via http://192.168.178.xxx:9000.*

*Herbie 12, in your case, the IP address of the NAS. This might solve the problem of your Squeezebox Radio losing connection to the LMS.

The fact that the LMS can’t find the files under /share/Multimedia/Music is due to some configuration on the NAS for this directory or share. I can’t help you with that."

Does this help…?

It worked now. LMS found music files, but I don’t know where they came from! I don’t think they’re from my music folder.

Very strange.

dolbyman · January 20, 2026, 3:13pm

No idea…as shown worked for me first try…

But again..make sure you have no typos in your YAML (Linux is making distinctions between lower and upper case letters too)

Herbie12 · January 21, 2026, 4:13pm

I checked it and verified and expanded the path. Now everything seems to be working and the files are being found.

However, the music playback keeps stopping on its own after a while.

NA9D · January 21, 2026, 6:04pm

That sounds more like an issue with the server software than the share…Are there logs in the container?

Well, it looks like you have a DNS issue at least. Make sure your container has proper DNS access so it can reach those radio websites.

Herbie12 · January 22, 2026, 6:40pm

DNS Access: What does that mean? How should I proceed?

I’m not really interested in radio, just my own tracks that I’ve saved on the QNAP. They always cut out after a short time.

Herbie12 · January 24, 2026, 10:26am

DNS access: I need help with this.

Do I have a problem that I might need to resolve with QNAP support?

NA9D · January 25, 2026, 4:06am

I doubt QNAP support will assist with 3rd part software.

DNS is the service on the internet that translates names like “qnap.com” to numbers 18.205.102.184 that computers use. It’s much easier for us as humans to remember qnap.com than 18.205.102.184. If your Lyrion server does not have access to the DNS servers on the internet, then it won’t be able to find the correct addresses for the internet radio stations. If you don’t plan on using them then don’t worry.

So is your local music playing?

Herbie12 · January 25, 2026, 12:52pm

I always thought the router determined the DNS settings that the clients then had to use.

I can also configure the DNS settings on the LMS server. However, the DNS settings are not configured or selected there. Therefore, I set up a second LMS server and configured it with the same DNS settings as the router. The result: I can’t detect any difference between the two servers.

I can listen to internet radio and I can listen to local music. The problem is that the local music always cuts out after a short time.
