18.SH NAME
19pkgconfdir/config - DisOrder jukebox configuration
20.SH DESCRIPTION
21The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the
22control of multiple users.
23\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file; the web interface
24uses a number of others (see \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8)).
25.SS Tracks
26DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them
27by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for
28instance, "*.mp3").
29.PP
30Although the model is of filenames, it is not inherent that there are
31corresponding real files - merely that they can be interpreted by the chosen
32player.
33See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
34.PP
35Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it.
36These are simple key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you
37like, but a number of keys have specific meanings.
38See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more details about these.
39.SS "Track Names"
40Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular
41expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name
42information.
43They can be overridden by setting preferences.
44.PP
45Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right
46underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if
47the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted.
48.SS "Server State"
49A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
50random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
51See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more information.
52.SS "Users And Access Control"
53DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
54This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
55views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
56.PP
57Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
58execute.
59Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
60cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
61.PP
62The full set of rights are:
63.TP
64.B read
65User can perform read-only operations
66.TP
67.B play
68User can add tracks to the queue
69.TP
70.B "move any"
71User can move any track
72.TP
73.B "move mine"
74User can move their own tracks
75.TP
76.B "move random"
77User can move randomly chosen tracks
78.TP
79.B "remove any"
80User can remove any track
81.TP
82.B "remove mine"
83User can remove their own tracks
84.TP
85.B "remove random"
86User can remove randomly chosen tracks
87.TP
88.B "scratch any"
89User can scratch any track
90.TP
91.B "scratch mine"
92User can scratch their own tracks
93.TP
94.B "scratch random"
95User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
96.TP
97.B volume
98User can change the volume
99.TP
100.B admin
101User can perform admin operations
102.TP
103.B rescan
104User can initiate a rescan
105.TP
106.B register
107User can register new users.
108Normally only the
109.B guest
110user would have this right.
111.TP
112.B userinfo
113User can edit their own userinfo
114.TP
115.B prefs
116User can modify track preferences
117.TP
118.B "global prefs"
119User can modify global preferences
120.TP
121.B pause
122User can pause/resume
123.PP
124Access control is entirely used-based.
125If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
126accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
127available.
128Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
129but everything else is.
130The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
131the network layer.
132.SS "Web Interface"
133The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
134kind of page, and a collection of option files.
135These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
136.PP
137See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
138.SS "Searching And Tags"
139Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
140A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
141.PP
142Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
143of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
144.PP
145.nf
146 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
147 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
148 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
149 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
150 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
151 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
152.fi
153.PP
154The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
155disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
156as internal whitespace.
157.PP
158Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
159the tags are separated by commas.
160Therefore tags may not contain commas.
161.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
162.SS "General Syntax"
163Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
164feed, carriage return, form feed).
165Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
166.PP
167Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
168may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
169quotation marks or apostrophes.
170Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
171a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
172.TP
173.B \e\e
174Backslash
175.TP
176.B \e"
177Quotation mark
178.\" "
179.TP
180.B \e\(aq
181Apostrophe
182.TP
183.B \en
184Line feed
185.PP
186No other escape sequences are allowed.
187.PP
188Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
189further fields are parameters.
190Lines with no fields are ignored.
191.PP
192After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
193it re-read it.
194If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
195message and ignore the new config file.
196(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
197as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
198.SS "Configuration Files"
199Configuration files are read in the following order:
200.TP
201.I pkgconfdir/config
202.TP
203.I pkgconfdir/config.private
204Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
205Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
206.TP
207.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
208Per-user client configuration.
209Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
210Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
211.TP
212.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
213Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
214Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
215Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
216.IP
217The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
218\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
219.SS "Global Configuration"
220.TP
221.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
222The home directory for state files.
223Defaults to
224.IR pkgstatedir .
225The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
226.IP
227This setting cannot be changed during the lifetime of the server.
228.TP
229.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
230Adds a directory to the plugin path.
231(This is also used by the web interface.)
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.
236.IP
237If
238.B plugins
239is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
240.SS "Server Configuration"
241.TP
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.
255.IP
256The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.
257.IP
258This setting cannot be changed during the lifetime of the server.
259.TP
260.B api \fINAME\fR
261Selects the backend used to play sound and to set the volume.
262The following options are available:
263.RS
264.TP
265.B alsa
266Use the ALSA API.
267This is only available on Linux systems, on which it is the default.
268.TP
269.B coreaudio
270Use Apple Core Audio.
271This only available on OS X systems, on which it is the default.
272.TP
273.B oss
274Use the OSS (/dev/dsp) API.
275Not available on all platforms.
276.TP
277.B command
278Execute a command.
279This is the default if
280.B speaker_command
281is specified, or if no native is available.
282.IP
283You might want to set
284.B pause_mode
285with this backend.
286.TP
287.B rtp
288Transmit audio over the network.
289This is the default if \fBbroadcast\fR is specified.
290You can use
291.BR disorder-playrtp (1)
292to receive and play the resulting stream on Linux and OS X.
293.B network
294is a deprecated synonym for this API.
295.RE
296.TP
297.B authorization_algorithm \fIALGORITHM\fR
298Defines the algorithm used to authenticate clients.
299The valid options are sha1 (the default), sha256, sha384 and sha512.
300See
301.BR disorder_protocol (5)
302for more details.
303.TP
304.B broadcast \fR[\fIFAMILY\fR] \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
305Transmit sound data to \fIADDRESS\fR using UDP port \fIPORT\fR.
306This implies \fBapi rtp\fR.
307.IP
308\fIFAMILY\fR can be \fB-4\fR or \fB-6\fR to force IPv4 or IPv6, if this is not
309implied by \fIADDRESS\fR.
310Note that IPv6 is not currently well tested.
311.IP
312See also \fBmulticast_loop\fR and \fBmulticast_ttl\fR.
313.TP
314.B broadcast_from \fR[\fIFAMILY\fR] \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
315Sets the (local) source address used by \fBbroadcast\fR.
316.IP
317\fIFAMILY\fR can be \fB-4\fR or \fB-6\fR to force IPv4 or IPv6, if this is not
318implied by \fIADDRESS\fR.
319Note that IPv6 is not currently well tested.
320.TP
321.B channel \fICHANNEL\fR
322The mixer channel that the volume control should use.
323.IP
324For \fBapi oss\fR the possible values are:
325.RS
326.TP 8
327.B pcm
328Output level for the audio device.
329This is probably what you want and is the default.
330.TP
331.B speaker
332Output level for the PC speaker, if that is connected to the sound card.
333.TP
334.B pcm2
335Output level for alternative codec device.
336.TP
337.B vol
338Master output level.
339The OSS documentation recommends against using this, as it affects all
340output devices.
341.RE
342.IP
343You can also specify channels by number, if you know the right value.
344.IP
345For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the name of the mixer control to use.
346The default is \fBPCM\fR.
347Use \fBamixer scontrols\fR or similar to get a full list.
348.IP
349For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
350.TP
351.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIENCODING\fR \fIROOT\fR
352.TP
353.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIROOT\fR
354.TP
355.B collection \fIROOT\fR
356Define a collection of tracks.
357.IP
358\fIMODULE\fR defines which plugin module should be used for this
359collection.
360Use the supplied \fBfs\fR module for tracks that exist as ordinary
361files in the filesystem.
362If no \fIMODULE\fR is specified then \fBfs\fR is assumed.
363.IP
364\fIENCODING\fR defines the encoding of filenames in this collection.
365For \fBfs\fR this would be the encoding you use for filenames.
366Examples might be \fBiso\-8859\-1\fR or \fButf\-8\fR.
367If no encoding is specified then the current locale's character encoding
368is used.
369.IP
370NB that this default depends on the locale the server runs in, which is not
371necessarily the same as that of ordinary users, depending how the system is
372configured.
373It's best to explicitly specify it to be certain.
374.IP
375\fIROOT\fR is the root in the filesystem of the filenames and is
376passed to the plugin module.
377It must be an absolute path and should not end with a "/".
378.TP
379.B cookie_key_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
380Lifetime of the signing key used in constructing cookies. The default is one
381week.
382.IP
383If this is changed during the lifetime of the server, the current key doesn't
384hvave its lifetime retroactively changed.
385.TP
386.B cookie_login_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
387Lifetime of a cookie enforced by the server. When the cookie expires the user
388will have to log in again even if their browser has remembered the cookie that
389long. The default is one day.
390.IP
391If this is changed during the lifetime of the server, cookies that have already
392een generated don't hvave their lifetime retroactively changed.
393.TP
394.B default_rights \fIRIGHTS\fR
395Defines the set of rights given to new users.
396The argument is a comma-separated list of rights.
397For the possible values see
398.B "Users And Access Control"
399above.
400.IP
401The default is to allow everything except \fBadmin\fR and \fBregister\fR
402(modified in legacy configurations by the obsolete \fBrestrict\fR directive).
403.TP
404.B device \fINAME\fR
405Sound output device.
406.IP
407For \fBapi oss\fR this is the path to the device to use.
408If it is set to \fBdefault\fR then \fI/dev/dsp\fR and \fI/dev/audio\fR
409will be tried.
410.IP
411For \fBapi alsa\fR this is the device name to use.
412.IP
413For \fBapi coreaudio\fR this can be either the UID or the human-readable
414name of the desired device.
415For a list of names, visit System Preferences -> Sound and look at the Type column.
416For example, you might use "Built-in Output" for the built-in speaker
417or "Built-in Line Output" if you have connected external speakers.
418Remember to quote the name.
419.IP
420The default is \fBdefault\fR, which is intended to map to whatever the system's
421default is.
422.TP
423.B gap \fISECONDS\fR
424This option no longer does anything and will be removed in a future version.
425.TP
426.B history \fIINTEGER\fR
427Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including
428failed tracks and scratches).
429.IP
430If this is changed during the lifetime of the server, it won't actually reduce
431the size of the list until it is next modified.
432.TP
433.B listen \fR[\fIFAMILY\fR] \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
434Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port
435specified by \fISERVICE\fR.
436If \fIHOST\fR is omitted, or is \fB*\fR, then listens on all local addresses.
437.IP
438\fIFAMILY\fR can be \fB-4\fR or \fB-6\fR to force IPv4 or IPv6, if this is not
439implied by \fIHOST\fR.
440Note that IPv6 is not currently well tested.
441.IP
442Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket.
443.TP
444.B lock yes\fR|\fBno
445This option no longer does anything and will be removed in a future version.
446.TP
447.B mixer \fIDEVICE\fR
448The mixer device name, if it needs to be specified separately from
449\fBdevice\fR.
450.IP
451For \fBapi oss\fR this should be the path to the mixer device and the default
452is \fI/dev/mixer\fR.
453.IP
454For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the index of the mixer control to use.
455The default is 0.
456.IP
457For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
458.TP
459.B mount_rescan yes\fR|\fBno
460Determines whether mounts and unmounts will cause an automatic rescan.
461The default is \fByes\fR.
462.TP
463.B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno
464Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host.
465The default is \fByes\fR.
466This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBrtp\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR
467is actually a multicast address.
468.TP
469.B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR
470Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets.
471This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBrtp\fR and
472\fBbroadcast\fR is actually a multicast address.
473The default is 1.
474.TP
475.B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
476Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a
477track name (with the collection root part removed).
478Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR.
479.IP
480Track names can be different in different contexts.
481For instance the sort string might include an initial track number,
482but this would be stripped for the display string.
483\fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the
484contexts in which this directive will be used.
485.IP
486Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR.
487.IP
488All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order.
489The first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context,
490and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that
491matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from
492\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
493.IP
494Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
495not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
496that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
497.IP
498If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be
499supplied automatically.
500But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
501The defaults are equivalent to:
502.PP
503.nf
504namepart title "/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
505namepart title "/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
506namepart album "/([^/]+)/[^/]+$" $1 *
507namepart artist "/([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+$" $1 *
508namepart ext "(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)$" $1 *
509.fi
510.IP
511This setting cannot be changed during the lifetime of the server.
512.TP
513.B new_bias \fIWEIGHT\fR
514The weight for new tracks.
515The default is 450000, i.e. recently added tracks are a fifty times as likely
516to be picked as normal.
517.IP
518New values of this option may be picked up from the configuration file even
519without a reload.
520.TP
521.B new_bias_age \fISECONDS\fR
522The maximum age of tracks that \fBnew_bias\fR applies to, in seconds.
523The default is one week.
524.IP
525New values of this option may be picked up from the configuration file even
526without a reload.
527.TP
528.B new_max \fIMAX\fR
529The maximum number of tracks to list when reporting newly noticed tracks.
530The default is 100.
531.TP
532.B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR
533Set the recan subprocess priority.
534The default is 10.
535.IP
536(Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority
537values are backwards.)
538.TP
539.B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR
540Set the server priority.
541This is applied to the server at startup time (and not when you reload
542configuration).
543The server does not use much CPU itself but this value is inherited
544by programs it executes.
545If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
546negative value.
547The default is 0.
548.IP
549Changes to this value during the lifetime of the server are ignored.
550.TP
551.B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR
552Set the speaker process priority.
553This is applied to the speaker process at startup time (and not when
554you reload the configuration).
555The speaker process is not massively CPU intensive by today's
556standards but depends on reasonably timely scheduling.
557If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
558negative value.
559The default is 0.
560.IP
561Changes to this value during the lifetime of the server are ignored.
562.TP
563.B noticed_history
564The maximum days that a track can survive in the database of newly added
565tracks.
566The default is 31.
567.TP
568.B pause_mode \fIMODE
569Sets the pause mode for the \fBcommand\fR backend.
570The possible values are:
571.RS
572.TP

647.B queue_pad \fICOUNT\fR
648The target size of the queue.
649If random play is enabled then randomly picked tracks will be added until
650the queue is at least this big.
651The default is 10.
652.IP
653If this is reduced during the lifetime of the server, the queue won't be

656However, if it is increased, new tracks will start being added immediately.
657.TP
658.B reminder_interval \fISECONDS\fR

678.RS
679.TP 10
680.I BITS
681The number of bits per sample.
682Optionally, may be suffixed by \fBb\fR or \fBl\fR for big-endian and

716the generation is 0) or \fB\-\fIbits\fR, \fB\-L\fR etc (if it is 1).
717See the documentation for your installed copy of \fBsox\fR to determine
718which you need.
719The default is set according to the version of sox found when DisOrder was

740.TP
741.B scratch \fIPATH\fR
742Specifies a scratch.
743When a track is scratched, a scratch track is played at random.
744Scratches are played using the same logic as other tracks.
745.IP
746At least for the time being, path names of scratches must be encoded using
747UTF-8 (which means that ASCII will do).
748.IP
749If \fBscratch\fR is used without arguments then the list of scratches is
750cleared.

756If \fBstopword\fR is used without arguments then the list of stopwords is
757cleared.
758.IP
759There is a default set of stopwords built in, but this option can be used to

777Only makes sense if invoked as root (or the target user).
778.IP
779This setting cannot be changed during the lifetime of the server
780(and if it is changed with a restart, you will need to adjust file permissions
781on the server's database).

835.B transform \fITYPE\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
836Determines how names are sorted and displayed in track choice displays.
837.IP
838\fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or
839\fBdir\fR but you can define your own.
840.IP
841\fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context.
842Standard contexts are \fBsort\fR (which determines how directory names
843are sorted) and \fBdisplay\fR (which determines how they are displayed).
844Again, you can define your own.
845.IP
846All the \fBtransform\fR directives are considered in order.
847If the \fITYPE\fR, \fIREGEXP\fR and the \fICONTEXT\fR match
848then a new track name is constructed from
849\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
850If several match then each is executed in order.
851.IP
852If you supply no \fBtransform\fR directives at all then a default set will be
853supplied automatically.
854But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.

865.B url \fIURL\fR
866Specifies the URL of the web interface.
867This URL will be used in generated web pages.
868The default is inferred at runtime, so this option no
869longer needs to be specified.
870.IP
871This must be the full URL, e.g. \fBhttp://myhost/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR and not
872\fB/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR.
873.SH "REGEXP SUBSTITUTION RULES"
874Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3).
875The only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR.
876Remember that the configuration file syntax means you have to
877escape backslashes and quotes inside quoted strings.
878.PP
879In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted
880specially:
881.TP
882.B $1 \fR... \fB$9
883These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression.
884.TP
885.B $&
886This expands to the matched part of the subject string.
887.TP
888.B $$
889This expands to a single \fB$\fR symbol.
890.PP
891All other pairs starting with \fB$\fR are undefined (and might be used
892for something else in the future, so don't rely on the current
893behaviour.)
894.PP
895If \fBi\fR is present in \fIREFLAGS\fR then the match is case-independent.
896If \fBg\fR is present then all matches are replaced, otherwise only the first
897match is replaced.
898.SH "TRACK NAME PARTS"
899The traditional track name parts are \fBartist\fR, \fBalbum\fR and \fBtitle\fR,
900with the obvious intended meaning.
901These are controlled by configuration and by \fBtrackname_\fR preferences.
902.PP
903In addition there are two built-in parts, \fBpath\fR which is the whole path
904name and \fBext\fR which is the filename extension, including the initial dot
