slskd is a modern client-server application for the Soulseek peer-to-peer file sharing network, written in C#. It runs as a daemon or Docker container with a web UI for searching, browsing, chatting, and downloading files from the Soulseek network.

Use cases

  • search and download music from the soulseek network
  • self-hosted soulseek client with web interface
  • run soulseek in docker on a home server
  • browse user shares and join soulseek chat rooms
  • monitor and manage download queues remotely
  • replace the official soulseek windows client with a headless daemon

When to choose

  • you want a headless, always-on Soulseek client accessible from any browser
  • you self-host media tools and want Docker deployment with reverse proxy support
  • you need remote access to Soulseek searches and downloads with token-based security

When to avoid

  • you only need a simple desktop client and prefer the official Soulseek GUI
  • you want to share files rather than primarily download them
  • you need a client for a network other than Soulseek
