nd-to-slack.sh

A script that will display your navidrome users activities in slack.
The messages will be formatted:
"<USER> is listening to <SONG> by <ARTIST> off of <ALBUM>."

ScreenShots

• In Slack:
• In Wee-slack:

Configuration

Before this script can be used you need to copy the nd-to-slack.config.EXAMPLE file and copy it to nd-to-slack.config and change all values listed as "<CHANGE ME>" to working values.

• nd-to-slack.config.EXAMPLE

USER="<CHANGE ME>"
TOKEN="<CHANGE ME>"
SALT="<CHANGE ME>"
SERVER="<CHANGE ME>"
URL_API="https://hooks.slack.com/services"
URL_HOOK="<CHANGE ME>"
EMOJI="3"
LINK="1"

Let us start with USER, TOKEN, and SALT. On your navidrome server (this was done with Firefox), once on your navidrome home page, right click, and inspect. In the inspection pane click storage at the top and then local storage on the left hand to have a window similar to the one below:

• Copy the role / name / username value to USER.
• Copy the subsonic-salt value to SALT.
• Copy the subsonic-token value to TOKEN.

Now, lets change the server address to whatever your servers URL is.

The slack URL_API and the URL_HOOK have been covered in many other places. You just need to add an app to slack and grab the webhook url. Once grabbed here is the breakdown:

https://hooks.slack.com/services/TTTTTTTTTTT/QQQQQQQQQQQ/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|           URL_API             |                URL_HOOK                     |

For vanity reasons there is a var called "EMOJI". This setting is 1, 2, or 3.

• 1 = no emoji set in the messages
• 2 = "musical_note" 🎵 is set for all messages.
• 3 = Randomized

If none is set it will default to "3".

If you want to post with a link to the album you have to change the config var "LINK" to "1".

• Appearance with links in Slack:
• Appearance with links in Wee-Slack:

We also need to change the DIR path in the script itself towards the top. This sets the hardcoded path to the folder location of this script and to the config folder in case you are running this script in cron.

Once all the Vars are changed now the script can be started. That will be covered in usage.

Usage

This script can be run a couple of different ways. Two of the easiest are by using either cron or doing a while loop at the command line.

• while loop approach

while :; do ./nd-to-slack.sh ; sleep 300 ; done

• crontab approach

*/5 * * * * /path/to/nd-to-slack.sh >/dev/null

While the script runs if the server has no acivity the script will not post any messages until there is activity again and it wont repost a presently playing song if the loop / cron time is set short.

This script was test with cron at 1 minute intervals.
