460b9539 | 1 | DisOrder |
2 | ======== | |
3 | ||
4 | This program is used to play random and chosen tracks from a collection of | |
5 | digital audio files (for instance MP3 and OGG files). If you just set it going | |
6 | it plays random tracks from your collection, but you can also ask for specific | |
7 | tracks to be played, either via a command line program or a web interface, and | |
8 | you can 'scratch' the current track. | |
9 | ||
10 | See CHANGES for details of recent changes to DisOrder. | |
11 | ||
12 | Currently it only runs on Linux. It could probably be ported to other UNIX | |
13 | variants in some cases without too much effort. Things you will need: | |

35 | Runtime dependencies: | |
460b9539 | 36 | * Web server: |
37 | + Apache 1.3.x works for me, but anything that supports CGI and | |
38 | authentication should be suitable. | |
1a0d3568 | 39 | * Separate player programs are no longer required (but may still be used) |
460b9539 | 40 | |

60 | Installation | |
61 | ============ | |
62 | ||
63 | "This place'd be a paradise tomorrow, if every department had a supervisor | |
64 | with a machine-gun" | |
65 | ||
66 | NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades. | |
67 | ||
68 | 1. Build the software. Do something like this: | |
69 | ||
70 | ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var | |
71 | make | |
72 | ||
73 | See INSTALL for more details about driving configure. The precise set of | |
74 | options you pass to configure is up to you, if you like configuration being | |
75 | in /usr/local/etc or wherever then that should work. | |
76 | ||
77 | If you only want to build a subset of DisOrder, specify one or more of the | |
78 | following options: | |
79 | --without-server Don't build server or web interface | |
80 | --without-gtk Don't build GTK+ client (Disobedience) | |
81 | --without-python Don't build Python support | |
82 | ||
655cae67 RK |
83 | See README.client for setting up a standalone client (or read the |
84 | disobedience man page). | |
85 | ||
86 | The server is only built by default under Linux. See README.mac concerning | |
87 | its use under OS X. | |
460b9539 | 88 | |
89 | 2. Install it. Most of the installation is done via the install target: | |
90 | ||
91 | make installdirs install | |
92 | ||
655cae67 | 93 | The CGI interface has to be installed separately: |
460b9539 | 94 | |
655cae67 | 95 | install -m 755 clients/disorder.cgi /usr/local/lib/cgi-bin/disorder |
460b9539 | 96 | |
460b9539 | 97 | 3. Create a 'jukebox' user and group, with the jukebox group being the default |
98 | group of the jukebox user. The server will run as this user and group. | |
99 | Check that this user can read your music files and write to the audio | |
100 | device, e.g. by playing a track. The exact name doesn't matter, it could be | |
101 | 'jukebox' or 'disorder' or 'fred' or whatever. | |
102 | ||
103 | Do not use a general-purpose user or group, you must create ones | |
104 | specifically for DisOrder. | |
105 | ||
106 | 4. Create /etc/disorder/config. Start from examples/config.sample and adapt it | |
107 | to your own requirements. In particular, you should: | |
75db8354 | 108 | * add 'player' commands for any file formats not supported natively |
460b9539 | 109 | * edit the 'collection' command to identify the location(s) of your own |
110 | digital audio files. These commands also specify the encoding of | |
111 | filenames, which you should be sure to get right as recovery from an | |
112 | error here can be painful (see BUGS). | |
113 | * edit the 'scratch' commands to supply scratch sounds (or delete them if | |
114 | you don't want any). | |
115 | * edit the 'trust' command to reflect the user the web interface will | |
116 | eventually run as. | |
117 | * edit the 'url' command to give the URL of the web interface. | |
118 | * add or remove 'stopword' entries as necessary (these words won't take | |
119 | part in track name searches from the web interface). | |
120 | ||
121 | See disorder_config(5) for more details. | |
122 | ||
6e2c9f5f RK |
123 | See README.raw for details on setting up "raw format" players, which allow |
124 | for pausing and gapless play. | |
125 | ||
36be7e6a | 126 | 5. Make sure the server is started at boot time. |
e83d0967 RK |
127 | |
128 | On many Linux systems, examples/disorder.init should be more or less | |
129 | suitable; install it in /etc/init.d, adapting it as necessary, and make | |
130 | appropriate links from /etc/rc[0-6].d. | |
131 | ||
36be7e6a | 132 | 6. Start the server. |
e83d0967 RK |
133 | |
134 | On Linux systems with sysv-style init: | |
460b9539 | 135 | |
136 | /etc/init.d/disorder start | |
137 | ||
138 | By default disorderd logs to daemon.*; check your syslog.conf to see where | |
139 | this ends up and look for log messages from disorderd there. If it didn't | |
140 | start up correctly there should be an error message. Correct the problem | |
141 | and try again. | |
142 | ||
36be7e6a | 143 | 7. After a minute it should start to play something. Try scratching it, as any |
460b9539 | 144 | of the users you set up in step 5: |
145 | ||
146 | disorder scratch | |
147 | ||
148 | The track should stop playing, and (if you set any up) a scratch sound play. | |
149 | ||
8ae47ac8 | 150 | 8. Add any other users you want. These easiest way to do this is: |
460b9539 | 151 | |
8ae47ac8 | 152 | disorder authorize USERNAME |
460b9539 | 153 | |
8ae47ac8 RK |
154 | This will automatically choose a random password and add new line to |
155 | /etc/disorder/config.private and create /etc/disorder/config.USERNAME. | |
460b9539 | 156 | |
36be7e6a RK |
157 | 9. Optionally source completion.bash from /etc/profile or similar, for |
158 | example: | |
460b9539 | 159 | |
36be7e6a | 160 | . /usr/local/share/disorder/completion.bash |
460b9539 | 161 | |
36be7e6a | 162 | This provides completion over disorder command and option names. |
460b9539 | 163 | |

165 | Web Interface | |
166 | ============= | |
167 | ||
168 | "Thought I was a gonner baby, but I'm bullet proof" | |
169 | ||
170 | These instructions assumes you are using Apache 1.3.x. | |
171 | ||
172 | You need to configure a number of things to make this work: | |
173 | ||
174 | 1. If you want to have a 'jukebox' virtual host, modify the DNS (or hosts file | |
175 | if you are somehow reading this in the 1980s) accordingly and use a fragment | |
176 | such as this one: | |
177 | ||
178 | <VirtualHost HOSTNAME> | |
179 | DocumentRoot /home/jukebox/public_html | |
180 | ServerName jukebox.DOMAIN | |
181 | ServerAlias jukebox | |
182 | ServerAdmin webmaster@DOMAIN | |
183 | ErrorLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/error.log | |
184 | TransferLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/access.log | |
185 | Alias /static/ /usr/local/share/disorder/static/ | |
186 | </VirtualHost> | |
187 | ||
188 | /static/ should point to the 'static' directory installed by DisOrder. If | |
189 | you don't want to use the name 'static' then you can change the url.static | |
190 | label in the web interface configuration to your preferred URL; see | |
191 | disorder_config(5) for details. | |
192 | ||
193 | Don't forget to reload Apache after modifying its configuration. | |
194 | ||
195 | Separate logging is not required but I find it convenient. Up to you. | |
196 | ||
197 | 2. disorder.cgi assumes it is subject to access control (and in particular uses | |
198 | the username to report who did what). Here's how I configured Apache, given | |
199 | the above VirtualHost settings: | |
200 | ||
201 | <Directory /home/jukebox> | |
202 | Require valid-user | |
203 | AuthType basic | |
204 | AuthName jukebox | |
205 | AuthUserFile /home/jukebox/http.users | |
206 | </Directory> | |
207 | ||
208 | Adjust this according to wherever you're going to install disorder.cgi and | |
209 | its expected URL. | |
210 | ||
211 | Don't forget to reload apache after modifying its configuration. If you got | |
212 | it wrong, fix it and restart Apache. | |
213 | ||
214 | 3. Create the password file configured above. Something like this: | |
215 | ||
216 | # htpasswd -b -c /home/jukebox/http.users myusername mypassword | |
217 | Adding password for user myusername | |
218 | # htpasswd -b /home/jukebox/http.users othername otherpass | |
219 | Adding password for user othername | |
220 | ||
221 | 4. The jukebox must be configured to trust the web user. I added the following | |
222 | line to my /etc/disorder/config: | |
223 | ||
224 | trust www-data | |
225 | ||
226 | This might not be the same on your system! You have to specify the user | |
227 | that the CGI script runs as, whatever that is. | |
228 | ||
229 | 5. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it | |
230 | executable. With the above configuration I installed it as | |
231 | ~jukebox/public_html/index.cgi. | |
232 | ||
233 | 6. Give www-data (or whatever user it is) a password and edit | |
234 | /etc/disorder/config.private accordingly. This file should be mode 640 and | |
235 | owned by root:jukebox. The line should look something like this: | |
236 | ||
237 | allow www-data MYPASSWORD | |
238 | ||
239 | After editing the config file, you must make the daemon re-read it: | |
240 | ||
241 | disorder reconfigure | |
242 | ||
243 | 7. Teach www-data its password, by putting it in /etc/disorder/config.www-data. | |
244 | This file should be mode 640 and owned by root:www-data. | |
245 | ||
246 | password MYPASSWORD | |
247 | ||
248 | (You could also use ~www-data/.disorder/passwd for this but on some systems | |
249 | the web server user's home directory is inside the document root, which | |
250 | would have rather unfortunate consequences.) | |
251 | ||
252 | 8. Try it out. You should be asked for a username and password that you | |
253 | configured earlier, and be shown details of what is playing and what other | |
254 | tracks have been configured for future play. | |
255 | ||
256 | 9. Some features take time to start working, for instance those involving | |
257 | reporting the length of tracks. This is because the server starts up as | |
258 | quickly as possible even if the full track data has not yet been gathered; | |
259 | the track data is then calculated in the background. | |
260 | ||
261 | 10. If you run into problems, always look at the appropriate error log; the | |
262 | message you see in your web browser will usually not be sufficient to | |
263 | diagnose the problem all by itself. | |
264 | ||
265 | 11. If you have a huge number of top level directories, then you might find | |
266 | that the 'Choose' page is unreasonably large. If so add the following line | |
267 | to /etc/disorder/options.user: | |
268 | label sidebar.choosewhich choosealpha | |
269 | ||
270 | This will make 'Choose' be a link for each letter of the 26-letter Roman | |
271 | alphabet; follow the link and you just get the directories which start with | |
272 | that letter. The "*" link at the end gives you directories which don't | |
273 | start with a letter. | |
274 | ||
275 | You can copy choosealpha.html to /etc/disorder and edit it to change the | |
276 | set of initial choices to anything that can be expressed with regexps. The | |
277 | regexps must be URL-encoded UTF-8 PCRE regexps. | |
278 | ||
