I'm not sure to get this. Is the point of the article to install Nicotine+ into docker just to download music on a server? That seems overkill, I would rather use Nicotine+ on my laptop, then rsync my Music directory to the server. That way I have backups, and I'm not limited to music coming from Soulseek. Bandcamp catalog is surprisingly complete, since a few years (relatively to 5-10 years ago, where it feels you were going to Bandcamp to listen to "Bandcamp artists", like Jamendo), you can download drm-free tracks and it allows to support artists you like. And of course, you can also download music from youtube with yt-dlp, provided you spend some time to tag it if you care about that.

My reasoning is provided in the last paragraph.

I know. That's why I say rsync would do just as well with 1% of the complexity of the setup.

You don't seem to understand my reasoning, but that's ok.
