For example:\n\n```yaml\n# ... your usual beets config (directory, library, plugins, ...) ...\n\nbeetkeeper:\n  log_level: INFO\n  server:\n    hostname: 0.0.0.0\n    port: 8337\n  database:\n    # beetkeeper's own SQLite db (separate from the beets library); created automatically on first run.\n    sqlite_path: /beets/beetkeeper.db\n```\n\n## Contributing and Development Info\n\nRefer to the [contributor docs](./docs/contributor_docs).\n\n## Releases\n\nCheck out the [releases page](https://github.com/zach-overflow/beetkeeper/releases) for more details.\n\n## Bugs Reports / Feature Requests\n\nFeel free to file them on the [issues page](https://github.com/zach-overflow/beetkeeper/issues).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzach-overflow%2Fbeetkeeper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzach-overflow%2Fbeetkeeper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzach-overflow%2Fbeetkeeper/lists"}
