[Request] Nicotine

[scotrod]

Hi LSIO team,

Would you consider adding a container for Nicotine+?

GitHub: https://github.com/nicotine-plus/nicotine-plus

Nicotine+ is a popular open-source Soulseek client with an active community and regular development.

Thanks for considering it!

Seconded, I was about to post this myself. There are a decent number of existing nicotine docker containers but they all have their issues.

This the one I've used in the past

Using the broadway backend for gtk definitely integrates it the best as a web app, but Broadway has this one really annoying bug where copy and paste functionality doesn't work. It also seems to only allow a single person to connect - if someone else tries to access the container, it kicks out whoever was using it currently. The rest of the containers are typically noVNC, and a lot of them are out of date.

There is https://github.com/slskd/slskd which has really good container support, and is what I'm using currently. But nicotine's backend seems to be a lot more robust - I've noticed there's a lot of traffic in nicotine that I just can't seem to reproduce in slskd. I would have to guess that's due to nicotine's strong UPnP support.
