20.SH NAME
21pkgconfdir/config - DisOrder jukebox configuration
22.SH DESCRIPTION
23The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the
c0c23a60 24control of multiple users.
00753f26
RK
25\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file; the web interface
26uses a number of others (see \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8)).
460b9539 27.SS Tracks
28DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them
29by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for
30instance, "*.mp3").
31.PP
32Although the model is of filenames, it is not inherent that there are
33corresponding real files - merely that they can be interpreted by the chosen
c0c23a60
RK
34player.
35See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
460b9539 36.PP
c0c23a60
RK
37Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it.
38These are simple key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you
39like, but a number of keys have specific meanings.
40See \fBdisorder\fR(1) for more details about these.
460b9539 41.SS "Track Names"
42Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular
43expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name
c0c23a60
RK
44information.
45They can be overridden by setting preferences.
460b9539 46.PP
47Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right
48underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if
49the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted.
50.SS "Server State"
51A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
52random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
53.SS "Users And Access Control"
c0c23a60
RK
54DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
55This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
56views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
460b9539 57.PP
eb5dc014 58Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
c0c23a60
RK
59execute.
60Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
eb5dc014
RK
61cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
62.PP
63The full set of rights are:
64.TP
65.B read
66User can perform read-only operations
67.TP
68.B play
69User can add tracks to the queue
70.TP
71.B "move any"
72User can move any track
73.TP
74.B "move mine"
75User can move their own tracks
76.TP
77.B "move random"
78User can move randomly chosen tracks
79.TP
80.B "remove any"
81User can remove any track
82.TP
83.B "remove mine"
84User can remove their own tracks
85.TP
86.B "remove random"
87User can remove randomly chosen tracks
88.TP
89.B "scratch any"
90User can scratch any track
91.TP
92.B "scratch mine"
93User can scratch their own tracks
94.TP
95.B "scratch random"
96User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
97.TP
98.B volume
99User can change the volume
100.TP
101.B admin
102User can perform admin operations
103.TP
104.B rescan
105User can initiate a rescan
106.TP
107.B register
c0c23a60
RK
108User can register new users.
109Normally only the
eb5dc014
RK
110.B guest
111user would have this right.
112.TP
113.B userinfo
114User can edit their own userinfo
115.TP
116.B prefs
117User can modify track preferences
118.TP
119.B "global prefs"
120User can modify global preferences
121.TP
122.B pause
123User can pause/resume
460b9539 124.PP
c0c23a60
RK
125Access control is entirely used-based.
126If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
127accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
128available.
129Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
130but everything else is.
131The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
132the network layer.
460b9539 133.SS "Web Interface"
134The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
c0c23a60
RK
135kind of page, and a collection of option files.
136These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
5c1ae3bc
RK
137.PP
138See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
180dcdb0 139.SS "Searching And Tags"
c0c23a60
RK
140Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
141A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
180dcdb0
RK
142.PP
143Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
144of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
145.PP
146.nf
147 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
148 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
149 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
150 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
151 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
152 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
153.fi
154.PP
155The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
156disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
157as internal whitespace.
158.PP
159Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
c0c23a60
RK
160the tags are separated by commas.
161Therefore tags may not contain commas.
460b9539 162.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
163.SS "General Syntax"
164Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
c0c23a60
RK
165feed, carriage return, form feed).
166Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
460b9539 167.PP
168Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
169may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
c0c23a60
RK
170quotation marks or apostrophes.
171Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
172a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
460b9539 173.TP
174.B \e\e
175Backslash
176.TP
177.B \e"
178Quotation mark
179.\" "
180.TP
181.B \e'
182Apostrophe
183.TP
184.B \en
185Line feed
186.PP
187No other escape sequences are allowed.
188.PP
189Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
c0c23a60
RK
190further fields are parameters.
191Lines with no fields are ignored.
460b9539 192.PP
193After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
c0c23a60
RK
194it re-read it.
195If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
196message and ignore the new config file.
197(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
198as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
eb5dc014
RK
199.SS "Configuration Files"
200Configuration files are read in the following order:
201.TP
202.I pkgconfdir/config
203.TP
204.I pkgconfdir/config.private
c0c23a60
RK
205Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
206Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
eb5dc014 207.TP
90ad6c6e 208.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
c0c23a60
RK
209Per-user client configuration.
210Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
211Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
5b14453f 212.TP
90ad6c6e 213.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
c0c23a60
RK
214Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
215Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
216Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
5b14453f
RK
217.IP
218The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
c0c23a60 219\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
460b9539 220.SS "Global Configuration"
221.TP
222.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
c0c23a60
RK
223The home directory for state files.
224Defaults to
460b9539 225.IR pkgstatedir .
659d87e8 226The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
460b9539 227.TP
0c6bcae0 228.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
c0c23a60
RK
229Adds a directory to the plugin path.
230(This is also used by the web interface.)
460b9539 231.IP
232Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
233so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
234guaranteed to take effect.
40c30921
RK
235.IP
236If
237.B plugins
238is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
460b9539 239.SS "Server Configuration"
240.TP
241.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
242Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
243preferences.
244.IP
245Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
246to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
247\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
248.IP
249The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
250second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
251.IP
252The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
253automatically included, but should include the proper extension.
254.IP
255The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.

461.IP
462Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
463not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
