## Architecture

```
accentor/
├── api/         # Rails API backend
├── web/         # Vue.js frontend
└── android/     # Android app
```

## Self-Hosting

```bash
# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/accentor/api.git
cd api
bundle install
rails db:setup

# Run server (port 3000)
puma -C config/puma.rb
```

Use nginx as reverse proxy:
- Match `/api` and `/rails` paths → proxy to Puma
- Serve web frontend on root

## API Endpoints

```bash
GET /api/artists
GET /api/artists/:id
GET /api/albums
GET /api/albums/:id
GET /api/tracks
GET /api/tracks/:id
```
