Metadata and search
Aurral uses hosted services for artist pages, album details, and catalog search. Aurral uses fallback services if the primary services fail.
Defaults
Section titled “Defaults”Most installs use Aurral’s hosted metadata and search backends with no extra configuration.
Custom providers
Section titled “Custom providers”Admins can configure metadata hydration and the Aurral Search catalog backend at /settings/metadata.
The metadata page does not appear in the main settings navigation.
Use custom providers when you self-host search infrastructure or need alternate metadata sources.
Sponsorship
Section titled “Sponsorship”Hosted metadata and search services run on personal infrastructure. These services can sometimes be unavailable.
Sponsor Aurral to help keep these services reliable.
