The daemon
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Supysonic comes with an optional daemon service that currently provides the
|
|
following features:
|
|
|
|
- background scans
|
|
- library changes detection
|
|
- jukebox mode
|
|
|
|
Background scans
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
First of all, the daemon allows running backgrounds scans, meaning you can start
|
|
scans from the :doc:`command-line interface <../man/supysonic-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.
|
|
|
|
Library watching
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
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. Please refer to :ref:`conf-daemon` of the configuration to
|
|
enable or disable it.
|
|
|
|
Jukebox
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Finally, the daemon acts as a backend for the jukebox mode, allowing to play
|
|
audio on the machine running Supysonic. More details on the :doc:`../jukebox`
|
|
page.
|
|
|
|
Running it
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The daemon is :doc:`../man/supysonic-daemon`, it is a non-exiting process.
|
|
If you want to keep it running in background, either use the old
|
|
:command:`nohup` or :command:`screen` methods, or start it as a systemd unit.
|
|
|
|
Below is a basic service file to load it through systemd. Modify it to match
|
|
your installation and save it as
|
|
:file:`/etc/systemd/system/supysonic-daemon.service`.
