specifically for DisOrder.
4. Create /etc/disorder/config. Start from examples/config.sample and adapt it
- to your own requirements. In particular, you should:
- * add 'player' commands for any file formats not supported natively
+ to your own requirements. The things you MUST do are:
* edit the 'collection' command to identify the location(s) of your own
digital audio files. These commands also specify the encoding of
filenames, which you should be sure to get right as recovery from an
error here can be painful (see BUGS).
+ Optionally you may also want to do the following:
+ * add 'player' commands for any file formats not supported natively
* edit the 'scratch' commands to supply scratch sounds (or delete them if
you don't want any).
- * edit the 'trust' command to reflect the user the web interface will
- eventually run as.
- * edit the 'url' command to give the URL of the web interface.
* add or remove 'stopword' entries as necessary (these words won't take
part in track name searches from the web interface).
See disorder_config(5) for more details.
- See README.raw for details on setting up "raw format" players, which allow
- for pausing and gapless play.
+ See README.streams for how to set up network play.
+
+ If adding new 'player' commands, see README.raw for details on setting up
+ "raw format" players. Non-raw players are still supported but not in all
+ configurations and they cannot support pausing and gapless play.
5. Make sure the server is started at boot time.
You need to configure a number of things to make this work:
-1. If you want to have a 'jukebox' virtual host, modify the DNS (or hosts file
- if you are somehow reading this in the 1980s) accordingly and use a fragment
- such as this one:

/etc/disorder/config.private accordingly. This file should be mode 640 and
owned by root:jukebox. The line should look something like this:

(You could also use ~www-data/.disorder/passwd for this but on some systems
the web server user's home directory is inside the document root, which
