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
c0c23a60 22control of multiple users.
00753f26
RK
23\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file; the web interface
24uses a number of others (see \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8)).
460b9539 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
c0c23a60
RK
32player.
33See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
460b9539 34.PP
c0c23a60
RK
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.
3d1452ab 38See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more details about these.
460b9539 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
c0c23a60
RK
42information.
43They can be overridden by setting preferences.
460b9539 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.
3d1452ab 51See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more information.
460b9539 52.SS "Users And Access Control"
c0c23a60
RK
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.
460b9539 56.PP
01a0f841 57Each user has an associated set of rights which control which commands they may
c0c23a60
RK
58execute.
59Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
eb5dc014
RK
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
c0c23a60
RK
107User can register new users.
108Normally only the
eb5dc014
RK
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
460b9539 123.PP
c0c23a60
RK
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.
460b9539 132.SS "Web Interface"
133The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
c0c23a60
RK
134kind of page, and a collection of option files.
135These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
5c1ae3bc
RK
136.PP
137See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
180dcdb0 138.SS "Searching And Tags"
c0c23a60
RK
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:".
180dcdb0
RK
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,
c0c23a60
RK
159the tags are separated by commas.
160Therefore tags may not contain commas.
460b9539 161.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
162.SS "General Syntax"
163Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
c0c23a60
RK
164feed, carriage return, form feed).
165Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
460b9539 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
c0c23a60
RK
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:
460b9539 172.TP
173.B \e\e
174Backslash
175.TP
176.B \e"
177Quotation mark
178.\" "
179.TP
863c04fa 180.B \e\(aq
460b9539 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
c0c23a60
RK
189further fields are parameters.
190Lines with no fields are ignored.
460b9539 191.PP
192After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
c0c23a60
RK
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.)
eb5dc014
RK
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
c0c23a60
RK
204Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
205Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
eb5dc014 206.TP
90ad6c6e 207.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
c0c23a60
RK
208Per-user client configuration.
209Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
210Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
5b14453f 211.TP
90ad6c6e 212.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
c0c23a60
RK
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.
5b14453f
RK
216.IP
217The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
c0c23a60 218\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
460b9539 219.SS "Global Configuration"
220.TP
221.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
c0c23a60
RK
222The home directory for state files.
223Defaults to
460b9539 224.IR pkgstatedir .
659d87e8 225The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
863c04fa
RK
226.IP
227This setting cannot be changed during the lifetime of the server.
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
238.B plugins
239is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
460b9539 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.
