I self-hosted Tagr on Ubuntu 24.04 — the compose file left the library commented out

I wanted browser tag edits on the same VPS as Jellyfin, not another media server. Tagr came up on Docker. Official compose comments the /music binds and ships AUTH_SECRET as change-me. A scan with zero tracks is the missing mount. AUTH_URL left as your-domain.com sent logout to the wrong host. Loopback 3000, real bind, persisted /data — that is the lab path.
