|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
_Supysonic_ can run as a standalone application (not recommended for a
|
||||
"production" server) or as a WSGI application (on _Apache_ for instance).
|
||||
|
||||
To install it, either run:
|
||||
|
||||
$ python setup.py install
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip install .
|
||||
|
||||
but not both.
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need Python 3.5 or later to run _Supysonic_.
|
||||
|
||||
All the dependencies will automatically be installed by the installation
|
||||
command above.
|
||||
|
||||
You may also need a database specific package if you don't want to use SQLite
|
||||
(the default):
|
||||
|
||||
* _MySQL_: `pip install pymysql` or `pip install mysqlclient`
|
||||
* _PostgreSQL_: `pip install psycopg2-binary`
|
||||
|
||||
### Database initialization
|
||||
|
||||
_Supysonic_ needs a database to run. It can either be a _SQLite_,
|
||||
_MySQL_-compatible or _PostgreSQL_ database.
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to the documentation of the DBMS you've chosen on how to create a
|
||||
database. Once it has a database, _Supysonic_ will automatically create the
|
||||
tables it needs.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use _PostgreSQL_ you'll have to add the `citext` extension to the
|
||||
database once created. This can be done when connected to the database as the
|
||||
superuser with the folowing SQL command:
|
||||
|
||||
supysonic=# CREATE EXTENSION citext;
|
||||
|
||||
If you absolutely have no clue about databases, you can go with _SQLite_ as it
|
||||
doesn't need any setup other than specifying a path for the database.
|
||||
Note that using _SQLite_ for large libraries might not be the brightest idea as
|
||||
it tends to struggle with larger datasets.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a database, you'll need to create a configuration file. It must
|
||||
be saved under one of the following paths:
|
||||
|
||||
* `/etc/supysonic`
|
||||
* `~/.supysonic`
|
||||
* `~/.config/supysonic/supysonic.conf`
|
||||
|
||||
A roughly documented sample configuration file is provided as `config.sample`.
|
||||
|
||||
The minimal configuration using a _SQLite_ database would be:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[base]
|
||||
database_uri = sqlite:////some/path/to/a/supysonic.db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For a more details on the configuration, please refer to
|
||||
[documentation][docs-config].
|
||||
|
||||
[docs-config]: docs/setup/configuration.rst
|
||||
|
||||
## Running the application
|
||||
|
||||
### As a standalone debug server
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to run _Supysonic_ as a standalone server, but it is only
|
||||
recommended to do so if you are hacking on the source. A standalone won't be
|
||||
able to serve more than one request at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
To start the server, just run the `cgi-bin/server.py` script.
|
||||
|
||||
$ python cgi-bin/server.py
|
||||
|
||||
By default, it will listen on the loopback interface (`127.0.0.1`) on port
|
||||
5000, but you can specify another address on the command line, for instance on
|
||||
all the IPv6 interfaces:
|
||||
|
||||
$ python cgi-bin/server.py ::
|
||||
|
||||
### As an _Apache_ WSGI application
|
||||
|
||||
_Supysonic_ can run as a WSGI application with the `cgi-bin/supysonic.wsgi`
|
||||
file. To run it within an _Apache2_ server, first you need to install the WSGI
|
||||
module and enable it.
|
||||
|
||||
$ apt install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3
|
||||
$ a2enmod wsgi
|
||||
|
||||
Next, edit the _Apache_ configuration to load the application. Here's a basic
|
||||
example of what it looks like:
|
||||
|
||||
WSGIScriptAlias /supysonic /path/to/supysonic/cgi-bin/supysonic.wsgi
|
||||
<Directory /path/to/supysonic/cgi-bin>
|
||||
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
|
||||
WSGIPassAuthorization On
|
||||
Require all granted
|
||||
</Directory>
|
||||
|
||||
With that kind of configuration, the server address will look like
|
||||
*http://server/supysonic/*
|
||||
|
||||
### Other options
|
||||
|
||||
If you use another HTTP server, such as _nginx_ or _lighttpd_, or prefer to use
|
||||
FastCGI or CGI over WSGI, FastCGI and CGI scripts are also provided in the
|
||||
`cgi-bin` folder, respectively as `supysonic.fcgi` and `supysonic.cgi`. You
|
||||
might need to edit those file to suit your system configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some quick docs on how to configure your server for [FastCGI][] or
|
||||
[CGI][].

### Docker
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run _Supysonic_ in a _Docker_ container, here are some images
|
||||
provided by the community.

Full documentation is available at https://supysonic.readthedocs.io/
|
||||
|
||||
## Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
To start using _Supysonic_, you'll first have to specify where your music
|
||||
library is located and create a user to allow calls to the API.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start by creating a new admin user this way:
|
||||
|
||||
$ supysonic-cli user add MyUserName -p MyAwesomePassword
|
||||
$ supysonic-cli user setroles -A MyUserName
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new folder to your music library, you can do something like this:
|
||||
Use the following commands to install Supysonic, create an admin user, define a
|
||||
library folder, scan it and start serving using [Gunicorn][].
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip install git+https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic.git
|
||||
$ pip install gunicorn
|
||||
$ supysonic-cli user add MyUserName
|
||||
$ supysonic-cli user setroles --admin MyUserName
|
||||
$ supysonic-cli folder add MyLibrary /home/username/Music
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've added a folder, you will need to scan it:
|
||||
|
||||
$ supysonic-cli folder scan MyLibrary
|
||||
$ gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:5000 "supysonic.web:create_application()"
|
||||
|
||||
You should now be able to enjoy your music with the client of your choice!
|
||||
|
||||
For more details on the command-line usage, take a look at the
|
||||
[documentation][docs-cli].
|
||||
But using only the above commands will use a default configuration and
|
||||
especially storing the database in a temporary directory. Head over to the
|
||||
documentaiton for [full setup instructions][docs-setup], plus other options if
|
||||
you don't want to use Gunicorn.
|
||||
|
||||
[docs-cli]: docs/man/supysonic-cli.rst
|
||||
Note that there's also an optional [daemon][docs-daemon] that watches for
|
||||
library changes and provides support for other features such as the
|
||||
jukebox mode.

|
||||
|
||||
## About client authentication
|
||||
|
||||
The Subsonic API provides several authentication methods. One of them, known as
|
||||
_token authentication_ was added with API version 1.13.0. As Supysonic currently
|
||||
@ -208,46 +63,19 @@ targets API version 1.9.0, the token based method isn't supported. So if your
|
||||
client offers you the option, you'll have to disable the token based
|
||||
authentication for it to work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running the daemon
|
||||
## Development stuff
|
||||
|
||||
_Supysonic_ comes with an optional daemon service that currently provides the
|
||||
following features:
|
||||
- background scans
|
||||
- library changes detection
|
||||
- jukebox mode
|
||||
For those wishing to collaborate on the project, since Supysonic uses [Flask][]
|
||||
you can use its development server which provides automatic reloading and
|
||||
in-browser debugging among other things. To start said server:
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, the daemon allows running backgrounds scans, meaning you can start
|
||||
scans from the CLI and do something else while it's scanning (otherwise the scan
|
||||
will block the CLI until it's done).
|
||||
Background scans also enable the web UI to run scans, while you have to use the
|
||||
CLI to do so if you don't run the daemon.
|
||||
$ export FLASK_APP="supysonic.web:create_application()"
|
||||
$ export FLASK_ENV=development
|
||||
$ flask run
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of manually running a scan every time your library changes, the daemon
|
||||
can listen to any library change and update the database accordingly. This
|
||||
watcher is started along with the daemon but can be disabled to only keep
|
||||
background scans.
|
||||
And there's also the tests:
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the daemon acts as a backend for the jukebox mode, allowing to play
|
||||
audio on the machine running Supysonic.
|
||||
$ python setup.py test
|
||||
$ python setup.py test --test-suite tests.with_net
|
||||
|
||||
The daemon is `supysonic-daemon`, it is a non-exiting process. If you want to
|
||||
keep it running in background, either use the old `nohup` or `screen` methods,
|
||||
or start it as a _systemd_ unit (see the very basic _supysonic-daemon.service_
|
||||
file).
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrading
|
||||
|
||||
To upgrade your _Supysonic_ installation, simply re-run the command you used to
|
||||
install it (either `python setup.py install` or `pip install .`).
|
||||
|
||||
Some commits might introduce changes in the database schema. Starting with
|
||||
commit e84459d6278bfc735293edc19b535c62bc2ccd8d (August 29th, 2018) migrations
|
||||
will be automatically applied.
|
||||
|
||||
If your database was created prior to this date, you'll have to manually apply
|
||||
unapplied migrations up to the latest. Once done you won't have to worry about
|
||||
future migrations as they'll be automatically applied.
|
||||
Migration scripts are provided in the `supysonic/schema/migration` folder, named
|
||||
by the date of commit that introduced the schema changes. There could be both
|
||||
SQL scripts or Python scripts. The Python scripts require arguments that are
|
||||
explained when the script is invoked with the `-h` flag.
