Configuration
=============
Supysonic looks for four files for its configuration: :file:`/etc/supysonic`,
:file:`~/.supysonic`, :file:`~/.config/supysonic/supysonic.conf` and
:file:`supysonic.conf` in the current working directory, in this order, merging
values from all files.
Configuration files must respect a structure similar to Windows INI file, with
``[section]`` headers and using a ``KEY = VALUE`` or ``KEY: VALUE`` syntax.
If you cloned Supysonic from its `GitHub repository`__ you'll find a roughly
documented configuration sample file at the root of the project, file
conveniently named :file:`config.sample`. More details below.
__ https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic
``[base]`` section
------------------
This sections defines the database and additional scanning config.
``database_uri``
The most important configuration, defines the type and
parameters of the database Supysonic should connect to. It usually includes
username, password, hostname and database name. The typical form of a
database URI is::
driver://username:password@host:port/database
If the connection needs some additional parameters, they can be provided as a
query string, such as::
driver://username:password@host:port/database?param1=value1&param2=value2
Supported drivers are ``sqlite``, ``mysql`` and ``postgres`` (or
``postgresql``).
As SQLite connects to local files, the format is slightly different. The
"file" portion of the URI is the filename of the database. For a relative
path, it requires three slashes, for absolute paths it's also three slashes
followed by the absolute path, meaning actually four slashes on Unix systems.
.. highlight:: ini
::
; Relative path
database_uri = sqlite:///relative-file.db
; Absolute path on Unix-based systems
database_uri = sqlite:////home/user/supysonic.db
; Absolute path on Windows
database_uri = sqlite:///C:\Users\user\supysonic.db
A MySQL-compatible database requires either ``MySQLdb`` or ``pymysql`` to be
installed. PostgreSQL needs ``psycopg2``.
.. note::
For MySQL if no character set is defined on the URI it defaults to
``utf8mb4`` regardless of what's set on your MySQL installation.
If ``database_uri`` isn't provided, it defaults to a SQLite database stored
in :file:`/tmp/supysonic/supysonic.db`.
``scanner_extensions``
A space separated list of file extensions the scanner is restricted to.
Useful if you have multiple audio formats in your library but only want to
serve some. If left empty, the scanner will try to read every file it finds.
``follow_symlinks``
If set to ``yes``, allows the scanner to follow symbolic links.
Disabled by default, enable it only if you trust your file system as nothing
is done to handle broken links or loops.
Sample configuration::
[base]
; A database URI. Default: sqlite:////tmp/supysonic/supysonic.db
database_uri = sqlite:////var/supysonic/supysonic.db
;database_uri = mysql://supysonic:supysonic@localhost/supysonic
;database_uri = postgres://supysonic:supysonic@localhost/supysonic
; Optional, restrict scanner to these extensions. Default: none
scanner_extensions = mp3 ogg
; Should the scanner follow symbolic links? Default: no
follow_symlinks = no
``[webapp]`` section
--------------------
Configuration relative to the HTTP server.
``cache_dir``
Directory used to store generated files, such as resized cover art or
transcoded files. Defaults to :file:`/tmp/supysonic`.
``cache_size``
Maximum size (in megabytes) of the cache (except for trancodes).
Defaults to 512 MB.
``transcode_cache_size``
Maximum size (in megabytes) of the transcode cache.
Defaults to 1024 MB (1 GB).
``log_file``
Rotating file where some events generated by the web server are
logged. Leave empty to disable logging.
``log_level``
Defines the minimum severity threshold of messages to be added to
``log_file``. Possible values are:
* ``DEBUG``
* ``INFO``
* ``WARNING``
* ``ERROR``
* ``CRITICAL``
Defaults to ``WARNING``.
``log_rotate``
Enable automatic log rotation (when logs are enabled) every day at midnight.
Set it to ``no`` if you don't want to rotate the logs or if you use external
utilities such as :command:`logrotate`. Defaults to ``yes``.
``mount_api`` (``on`` or ``off``)
Enable or disable the Subsonic REST API. Should be kept on or Supysonic would
be quite useless. Exists mostly for testing purposes.
Defaults to ``on``.
``mount_webui`` (``on`` or ``off``)
Enable or disable the administrative web interface.
.. note::
Setting this off will prevent users from defining a preferred transcoding
format.
Defaults to ``on``.
``index_ignored_prefixes``
Space-separated list of prefixes that should be ignored from artist names
when returning their index. Example: if the word *The* is in this list,
artist *The Rolling Stones* will be listed under the letter *R*. The match is
case insensitive.
Defaults to ``El La Le Las Les Los The``.
``online_lyrics``
If enabled, will fetch the lyrics (when requested) from ChartLyrics if they
aren't available locally (either from metadata or from text files).
Defaults to ``no``.
Sample configuration::
[webapp]
; Optional cache directory. Default: /tmp/supysonic
cache_dir = /var/supysonic/cache
; Main cache max size in MB. Default: 512
cache_size = 512
; Transcode cache max size in MB. Default: 1024 (1GB)
transcode_cache_size = 1024
; Optional rotating log file. Default: none
log_file = /var/supysonic/supysonic.log
; Log level. Possible values: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.
; Default: WARNING
log_level = WARNING
; Enable log rotation. Default: yes
log_rotate = yes
; Enable the Subsonic REST API. You'll most likely want to keep this on.
; Here for testing purposes. Default: on
;mount_api = on
; Enable the administrative web interface. Default: on
;mount_webui = on
; Space separated list of prefixes that should be ignored on index endpoints
; Default: El La Le Las Les Los The
index_ignored_prefixes = El La Le Las Les Los The
; Enable the ChartLyrics API. Default: off
online_lyrics = off
.. _conf-daemon:
``[daemon]`` section
--------------------
Configuration for the daemon process that is used to watch for changes in the
library folders and providing the jukebox feature.
``socket``
Unix domain socket file (or named pipe on Windows) used to communicate
between the daemon and clients that rely on it (eg. CLI, folder admin web
page, etc.). Note that using an IP address here isn't supported.
Default: :file:`/tmp/supysonic/supysonic.sock`
``run_watcher``
Whether or not to start the watcher that will listen for library changes.
Default: yes
``wait_delay``
Delay (in seconds) before triggering the scanning operation after a change
have been detected. This prevents running too many scans when multiple
changes are detected for a single file over a short time span.
Default: 5 seconds.
``jukebox_command``
Command used by the jukebox mode to play a single file.
See the :doc:`jukebox documentation <../jukebox>` for more details.
``log_file``
Rotating file where events generated by the file watcher are logged.
If left empty, any logging will be sent to stderr.
``log_level``
Defines the minimum severity threshold of messages to be added to
``log_file``. Possible values are:
* ``DEBUG``
* ``INFO``
* ``WARNING``
* ``ERROR``
* ``CRITICAL``
Defaults to ``WARNING``.
``log_rotate``
Enable automatic log rotation (when logs are enabled) every day at midnight.
Set it to ``no`` if you don't want to rotate the logs or if you use external
utilities such as :command:`logrotate`. Defaults to ``yes``.
Sample configuration::
[daemon]
; Socket file the daemon will listen on for incoming management commands
; Default: /tmp/supysonic/supysonic.sock
socket = /var/run/supysonic.sock
; Syntax for windows named pipe:
;socket = \\.\pipe\supysonic.sock
; Defines if the file watcher should be started. Default: yes
run_watcher = yes
; Delay in seconds before triggering scanning operation after a change have been
; detected.
; This prevents running too many scans when multiple changes are detected for a
; single file over a short time span. Default: 5
wait_delay = 5
; Command used by the jukebox
jukebox_command = mplayer -ss %offset %path
; Optional rotating log file for the scanner daemon. Logs to stderr if empty
log_file = /var/supysonic/supysonic-daemon.log
log_level = INFO
; Enable log rotation. Default: yes
log_rotate = yes
.. _conf-lastfm:
``[lastfm]`` section
--------------------
This section allow defining API keys to enable Last.FM integration in
Supysonic. Currently it is only used to *scrobble* played tracks and update
the *now playing* information.
See https://www.last.fm/api to obtain such keys.
Once keys are set, users have to link their account by visiting their profile
page on Supysonic's administrative UI.
``api_key``
Last.FM API key
``secret``
secret key associated to the API key
Sample configuration::
[lastfm]
; API and secret key to enable scrobbling. http://www.last.fm/api/accounts
; Defaults: none
;api_key =
;secret =
.. _conf-listenbrainz:
``[listenbrainz]`` section
--------------------------
This section allows a custom ListenBrainz instance to be configured
for scrobbling. ListenBrainz is a music scrobbling service with social
features, similar to LastFM, but it is open source and
self-hostable. Supysonic can configured with any ListenBrainz
instance, but it connects to the official instance by default.
In order to connect to ListenBrainz, each user requires an user token
that can be obtained from their ListenBrainz profile (more information
in the API docs). This token has to be configured per profile using
the web UI.
The ListenBrainz API documentation can be found here:
https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/api/index.html
``api_url``
root URL of the ListenBrainz API for the instance
Sample configuration::
[listenbrainz]
; root URL of the ListenBrainz API.
; Defaults: https://api.listenbrainz.org/
;api_url =
.. _conf-transcoding:
``[transcoding]`` section
-------------------------
This section defines command-line programs to be used to convert an audio file
to another format or change its bitrate. All configurations in the sample below
have **not** been thoroughly tested.
For more details, please refer to the
:doc:`transcoding configuration <../transcoding>`.
::
[transcoding]
; Programs used to convert from one format/bitrate to another. Defaults: none
transcoder_mp3_mp3 = lame --quiet --mp3input -b %outrate %srcpath -
transcoder = ffmpeg -i %srcpath -ab %outratek -v 0 -f %outfmt -
decoder_mp3 = mpg123 --quiet -w - %srcpath
decoder_ogg = oggdec -o %srcpath
decoder_flac = flac -d -c -s %srcpath
encoder_mp3 = lame --quiet -b %outrate - -
encoder_ogg = oggenc2 -q -M %outrate -
``[mimetypes]`` section
-----------------------
Use this section if the system Supysonic is installed on has trouble guessing
the mimetype of some files. This might only be useful in some rare cases.
See the following links for a list of examples:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type#Common_examples
* https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
::
[mimetypes]
; Extension to mimetype mappings in case your system has some trouble guessing
; Default: none
;mp3 = audio/mpeg
;ogg = audio/vorbis
