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.
3d1452ab 40See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) 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.
3d1452ab 53See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more information.
460b9539 54.SS "Users And Access Control"
c0c23a60
RK
55DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
56This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
57views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
460b9539 58.PP
eb5dc014 59Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
c0c23a60
RK
60execute.
61Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
eb5dc014
RK
62cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
63.PP
64The full set of rights are:
65.TP
66.B read
67User can perform read-only operations
68.TP
69.B play
70User can add tracks to the queue
71.TP
72.B "move any"
73User can move any track
74.TP
75.B "move mine"
76User can move their own tracks
77.TP
78.B "move random"
79User can move randomly chosen tracks
80.TP
81.B "remove any"
82User can remove any track
83.TP
84.B "remove mine"
85User can remove their own tracks
86.TP
87.B "remove random"
88User can remove randomly chosen tracks
89.TP
90.B "scratch any"
91User can scratch any track
92.TP
93.B "scratch mine"
94User can scratch their own tracks
95.TP
96.B "scratch random"
97User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
98.TP
99.B volume
100User can change the volume
101.TP
102.B admin
103User can perform admin operations
104.TP
105.B rescan
106User can initiate a rescan
107.TP
108.B register
c0c23a60
RK
109User can register new users.
110Normally only the
eb5dc014
RK
111.B guest
112user would have this right.
113.TP
114.B userinfo
115User can edit their own userinfo
116.TP
117.B prefs
118User can modify track preferences
119.TP
120.B "global prefs"
121User can modify global preferences
122.TP
123.B pause
124User can pause/resume
460b9539 125.PP
c0c23a60
RK
126Access control is entirely used-based.
127If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
128accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
129available.
130Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
131but everything else is.
132The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
133the network layer.
460b9539 134.SS "Web Interface"
135The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
c0c23a60
RK
136kind of page, and a collection of option files.
137These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
5c1ae3bc
RK
138.PP
139See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
180dcdb0 140.SS "Searching And Tags"
c0c23a60
RK
141Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
142A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
180dcdb0
RK
143.PP
144Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
145of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
146.PP
147.nf
148 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
149 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
150 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
151 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
152 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
153 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
154.fi
155.PP
156The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
157disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
158as internal whitespace.
159.PP
160Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
c0c23a60
RK
161the tags are separated by commas.
162Therefore tags may not contain commas.
460b9539 163.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
164.SS "General Syntax"
165Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
c0c23a60
RK
166feed, carriage return, form feed).
167Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
460b9539 168.PP
169Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
170may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
c0c23a60
RK
171quotation marks or apostrophes.
172Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
173a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
460b9539 174.TP
175.B \e\e
176Backslash
177.TP
178.B \e"
179Quotation mark
180.\" "
181.TP
182.B \e'
183Apostrophe
184.TP
185.B \en
186Line feed
187.PP
188No other escape sequences are allowed.
189.PP
190Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
c0c23a60
RK
191further fields are parameters.
192Lines with no fields are ignored.
460b9539 193.PP
194After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
c0c23a60
RK
195it re-read it.
196If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
197message and ignore the new config file.
198(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
199as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
eb5dc014
RK
200.SS "Configuration Files"
201Configuration files are read in the following order:
202.TP
203.I pkgconfdir/config
204.TP
205.I pkgconfdir/config.private
c0c23a60
RK
206Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
207Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
eb5dc014 208.TP

c0c23a60
RK
210Per-user client configuration.
211Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
212Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
5b14453f 213.TP
90ad6c6e 214.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
c0c23a60
RK
215Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
216Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
217Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
5b14453f
RK
218.IP
219The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
c0c23a60 220\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
460b9539 221.SS "Global Configuration"
222.TP
223.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
c0c23a60
RK
224The home directory for state files.
225Defaults to
460b9539 226.IR pkgstatedir .
659d87e8 227The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
460b9539 228.TP
0c6bcae0 229.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
c0c23a60
RK
230Adds a directory to the plugin path.
231(This is also used by the web interface.)
460b9539 232.IP
233Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
234so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
235guaranteed to take effect.
40c30921
RK
236.IP
237If

242.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
243Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
244preferences.
245.IP
246Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
247to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
248\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
249.IP
250The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
251second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
252.IP
253The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
254automatically included, but should include the proper extension.

462.IP
463Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
464not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
465that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
