New approach for my beets setup...suggestions on things to consider?

[Shredder5262]

So my beets setup is in need of an overhaul.... I 've reached a point where I'm running into errors and some of the addon's are not quite working correctly, like imagemagick and I think it's best to just scrap the whole thing and start over again and rebuild the database.

My physical setup is a windows 11 machine that is basically being used as a server. I also run docker on this machine and music is stored on a NAS device.

as far as daily use goes, I have created 2 batch scripts
script1 runs beets in quiet mode and is used for nightly automation to tag, rename and import music files to their proper structure on the nas.
Script 2 runs in 'timid' mode for anything that can't be automatically imported into the proper library. I run this one only periodically when I see that there are many files existing in the download folder.

Since I started using docker, I love it, It was a pain in the ass to learn and set up, but once I got it going and started to understand it a bit I think it's the cat's pajamas. So I've been looking to see if there is a beets.io instance in docker....there is....but I worry about the nuances involved with putting beets in a docker instance and having to add/configure plugins...i recall a few of those plugins required environment variables in windows to work and even still i couldn't get it set up right. So I worry that putting beets in docker would add an extra layer of complexity to that.

Also, If considering making a docker instance.... I looked to see if a front end existed and it turns out someone is building a docker instance for beets io .... I haven't tried it yet, but something like this would be nice

I'm wondering about the nuances or preperation steps I should take before trying to rebuild a database from scratch while already having one in place...The current setup is located directly on the windows server machine....what things are there to consider?
