About slskd
slskd is a client-server application for the Soulseek file-sharing network, which is widely used for finding and sharing music. Instead of a desktop window, it runs as a daemon or Docker container on a machine in your network or in the cloud, and you search, download and share through a web interface.
The project says it is designed to be exposed to the internet, so it suits a home server or NAS that stays online and keeps sharing while your own computer is off.
