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: | |
14 | ||
15 | Build dependencies: | |
16 | Name Tested Notes | |
17 | libdb 4.3.21 4.2 and earlier won't work | |
18 | libgc 6.3 | |
19 | libvorbisfile 1.0.1 | |
20 | libpcre 4.5 need UTF-8 support | |
21 | libmad 0.15.1b | |
22 | libgcrypt 1.2.0 | |
23 | libao 0.8.6 | |
24 | libasound 1.0.8 | |
25 | Python 2.3 (optional) | |
26 | GNU C 3.3, 3.4 | |
27 | ||
28 | "Tested" means I've built against that version; earlier or later versions will | |
29 | often work too. | |
30 | ||
31 | Runtime dependencies: | |
32 | * Players: | |
33 | + ogg123 and mpg321 work for me, but you could potentially use others. | |
34 | * Web server: | |
35 | + Apache 1.3.x works for me, but anything that supports CGI and | |
36 | authentication should be suitable. | |
37 | ||
38 | Development dependencies (only developers will need these): | |
39 | Automake 1.9.4 AM_PATH_PYTHON not good enough in 1.7 | |
40 | Autoconf 2.59 | |
41 | Libtool 1.5.6 1.4 not good enough | |
39068fb4 | 42 | Bazaar (bzr) |
460b9539 | 43 | |
e9194ec6 | 44 | On Debian you might ensure you have the required packages as follows: |
45 | apt-get install gcc libc-dev automake autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev \ | |
46 | libgc-dev libgcrypt-dev libpcre3-dev libvorbis-dev \ | |
47 | libao-dev libmad0-dev libasound2-dev libdb-dev | |

56 | Installation | |
57 | ============ | |
58 | ||
59 | "This place'd be a paradise tomorrow, if every department had a supervisor | |
60 | with a machine-gun" | |
61 | ||
62 | NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades. | |
63 | ||
64 | 1. Build the software. Do something like this: | |
65 | ||
66 | ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var | |
67 | make | |
68 | ||
69 | See INSTALL for more details about driving configure. The precise set of | |
70 | options you pass to configure is up to you, if you like configuration being | |
71 | in /usr/local/etc or wherever then that should work. | |
72 | ||
73 | If you only want to build a subset of DisOrder, specify one or more of the | |
74 | following options: | |
75 | --without-server Don't build server or web interface | |
76 | --without-gtk Don't build GTK+ client (Disobedience) | |
77 | --without-python Don't build Python support | |
78 | ||
79 | See README.client for setting up a standalone client. | |
80 | ||
81 | 2. Install it. Most of the installation is done via the install target: | |
82 | ||
83 | make installdirs install | |
84 | ||
85 | The CGI interface has to be installed separately, and you must use Libtool | |
86 | to install it. For instance: | |
87 | ||
88 | ./libtool --mode=install install -m 755 progs/disorder.cgi /usr/local/lib/cgi-bin/disorder | |
89 | ||
90 | Depending on how your system is configured you may need to link the disorder | |
91 | libao driver into the right directory: | |
92 | ||
93 | ln -s /usr/local/lib/ao/plugins-2/libdisorder.so /usr/lib/ao/plugins-2/. | |
94 | ||
95 | 3. Create a 'jukebox' user and group, with the jukebox group being the default | |
96 | group of the jukebox user. The server will run as this user and group. | |
97 | Check that this user can read your music files and write to the audio | |
98 | device, e.g. by playing a track. The exact name doesn't matter, it could be | |
99 | 'jukebox' or 'disorder' or 'fred' or whatever. | |
100 | ||
101 | Do not use a general-purpose user or group, you must create ones | |
102 | specifically for DisOrder. | |
103 | ||
104 | 4. Create /etc/disorder/config. Start from examples/config.sample and adapt it | |
105 | to your own requirements. In particular, you should: | |
106 | * edit the 'player' commands to reflect the software you have installed. | |
107 | * edit the 'collection' command to identify the location(s) of your own | |
108 | digital audio files. These commands also specify the encoding of | |
109 | filenames, which you should be sure to get right as recovery from an | |
110 | error here can be painful (see BUGS). | |
111 | * edit the 'scratch' commands to supply scratch sounds (or delete them if | |
112 | you don't want any). | |
113 | * edit the 'trust' command to reflect the user the web interface will | |
114 | eventually run as. | |
115 | * edit the 'url' command to give the URL of the web interface. | |
116 | * add or remove 'stopword' entries as necessary (these words won't take | |
117 | part in track name searches from the web interface). | |
118 | ||
119 | See disorder_config(5) for more details. | |
120 | ||
6e2c9f5f RK |
121 | See README.raw for details on setting up "raw format" players, which allow |
122 | for pausing and gapless play. | |
123 | ||
460b9539 | 124 | 5. Create /etc/disorder/config.private. This should be readable only by the |
125 | jukebox group: | |
126 | ||
127 | touch /etc/disorder/config.private | |
128 | chown root:jukebox /etc/disorder/config.private | |
129 | chmod 640 /etc/disorder/config.private | |
130 | ||
131 | Set up a username and password for root, for example with line like this: | |
132 | ||
133 | allow root somepassword | |
134 | ||
135 | Use (for instance) pwgen(1) to create the password. DO NOT use your root | |
136 | password - this is a password to give root access to the server, not to give | |
137 | access to the root login. | |
138 | ||
139 | See disorderd(8) and disorder_config(5) for more details. | |
140 | ||
141 | 6. Make sure the server is started at boot time. On many Linux systems, | |
142 | examples/disorder.init should be more or less suitable; install it in | |
143 | /etc/init.d, adapting it as necessary, and make appropriate links from | |
144 | /etc/rc[0-6].d. If you have a BSD style init then you are on your own. | |
145 | ||
146 | 7. Make sure the state directory (/var/disorder or /usr/local/var/disorder or | |
147 | as determined by configure) exists and is writable by the jukebox user. | |
148 | ||
149 | mkdir -m 755 /var/disorder | |
150 | chown disorder:root /var/disorder | |
151 | ||
152 | 8. Start the server, for instance: | |
153 | ||
154 | /etc/init.d/disorder start | |
155 | ||
156 | By default disorderd logs to daemon.*; check your syslog.conf to see where | |
157 | this ends up and look for log messages from disorderd there. If it didn't | |
158 | start up correctly there should be an error message. Correct the problem | |
159 | and try again. | |
160 | ||
161 | 9. After a minute it should start to play something. Try scratching it, as any | |
162 | of the users you set up in step 5: | |
163 | ||
164 | disorder scratch | |
165 | ||
166 | The track should stop playing, and (if you set any up) a scratch sound play. | |
167 | ||
168 | 10. Add any other users you want to config.private. Each user's password | |
169 | should be stored in a file in their home directory, ~/.disorder/passwd, | |
170 | which should be readable only by them, and should take the form of a single | |
171 | line: | |
172 | ||
173 | password MYPASSWORD | |
174 | ||
175 | (root doesn't need this as the client can read it out of config.private | |
176 | when running as root.) | |
177 | ||
178 | Note that the server must be reloaded (e.g. by 'disorder reconfigure') | |
179 | when new users are added. | |
180 | ||
181 | Alternatively the administrator can create /etc/disorder/config.USERNAME | |
182 | containing the same thing as above. It can either be owned by the user and | |
183 | mode 400, or owned by root and the user's group (if you have per-user | |
184 | groups) and mode 440. | |
185 | ||
186 | You can use 'disorder authorize' to automatically pick passwords and | |
187 | create these files. | |
188 | ||
189 | 11. Optionally source completion.bash from /etc/profile or similar, for | |
190 | example: | |
191 | ||
192 | . /usr/local/share/disorder/completion.bash | |
193 | ||
194 | This provides completion over disorder command and option names. | |
195 | ||
196 | ||
197 | Web Interface | |
198 | ============= | |
199 | ||
200 | "Thought I was a gonner baby, but I'm bullet proof" | |
201 | ||
202 | These instructions assumes you are using Apache 1.3.x. | |
203 | ||
204 | You need to configure a number of things to make this work: | |
205 | ||
206 | 1. If you want to have a 'jukebox' virtual host, modify the DNS (or hosts file | |
207 | if you are somehow reading this in the 1980s) accordingly and use a fragment | |
208 | such as this one: | |
209 | ||
210 | <VirtualHost HOSTNAME> | |
211 | DocumentRoot /home/jukebox/public_html | |
212 | ServerName jukebox.DOMAIN | |
213 | ServerAlias jukebox | |
214 | ServerAdmin webmaster@DOMAIN | |
215 | ErrorLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/error.log | |
216 | TransferLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/access.log | |
217 | Alias /static/ /usr/local/share/disorder/static/ | |
218 | </VirtualHost> | |
219 | ||
220 | /static/ should point to the 'static' directory installed by DisOrder. If | |
221 | you don't want to use the name 'static' then you can change the url.static | |
222 | label in the web interface configuration to your preferred URL; see | |
223 | disorder_config(5) for details. | |
224 | ||
225 | Don't forget to reload Apache after modifying its configuration. | |
226 | ||
227 | Separate logging is not required but I find it convenient. Up to you. | |
228 | ||
229 | 2. disorder.cgi assumes it is subject to access control (and in particular uses | |
230 | the username to report who did what). Here's how I configured Apache, given | |
231 | the above VirtualHost settings: | |
232 | ||
233 | <Directory /home/jukebox> | |
234 | Require valid-user | |
235 | AuthType basic | |
236 | AuthName jukebox | |
237 | AuthUserFile /home/jukebox/http.users | |
238 | </Directory> | |
239 | ||
240 | Adjust this according to wherever you're going to install disorder.cgi and | |
241 | its expected URL. | |
242 | ||
243 | Don't forget to reload apache after modifying its configuration. If you got | |
244 | it wrong, fix it and restart Apache. | |
245 | ||
246 | 3. Create the password file configured above. Something like this: | |
247 | ||
248 | # htpasswd -b -c /home/jukebox/http.users myusername mypassword | |
249 | Adding password for user myusername | |
250 | # htpasswd -b /home/jukebox/http.users othername otherpass | |
251 | Adding password for user othername | |
252 | ||
253 | 4. The jukebox must be configured to trust the web user. I added the following | |
254 | line to my /etc/disorder/config: | |
255 | ||
256 | trust www-data | |
257 | ||
258 | This might not be the same on your system! You have to specify the user | |
259 | that the CGI script runs as, whatever that is. | |
260 | ||
261 | 5. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it | |
262 | executable. With the above configuration I installed it as | |
263 | ~jukebox/public_html/index.cgi. | |
264 | ||
265 | 6. Give www-data (or whatever user it is) a password and edit | |
266 | /etc/disorder/config.private accordingly. This file should be mode 640 and | |
267 | owned by root:jukebox. The line should look something like this: | |
268 | ||
269 | allow www-data MYPASSWORD | |
270 | ||
271 | After editing the config file, you must make the daemon re-read it: | |
272 | ||
273 | disorder reconfigure | |
274 | ||
275 | 7. Teach www-data its password, by putting it in /etc/disorder/config.www-data. | |
276 | This file should be mode 640 and owned by root:www-data. | |
277 | ||
278 | password MYPASSWORD | |
279 | ||
280 | (You could also use ~www-data/.disorder/passwd for this but on some systems | |
281 | the web server user's home directory is inside the document root, which | |
282 | would have rather unfortunate consequences.) | |
283 | ||
284 | 8. Try it out. You should be asked for a username and password that you | |
285 | configured earlier, and be shown details of what is playing and what other | |
286 | tracks have been configured for future play. | |
287 | ||
288 | 9. Some features take time to start working, for instance those involving | |
289 | reporting the length of tracks. This is because the server starts up as | |
290 | quickly as possible even if the full track data has not yet been gathered; | |
291 | the track data is then calculated in the background. | |
292 | ||
293 | 10. If you run into problems, always look at the appropriate error log; the | |
294 | message you see in your web browser will usually not be sufficient to | |
295 | diagnose the problem all by itself. | |
296 | ||
297 | 11. If you have a huge number of top level directories, then you might find | |
298 | that the 'Choose' page is unreasonably large. If so add the following line | |
299 | to /etc/disorder/options.user: | |
300 | label sidebar.choosewhich choosealpha | |
301 | ||
302 | This will make 'Choose' be a link for each letter of the 26-letter Roman | |
303 | alphabet; follow the link and you just get the directories which start with | |
304 | that letter. The "*" link at the end gives you directories which don't | |
305 | start with a letter. | |
306 | ||
307 | You can copy choosealpha.html to /etc/disorder and edit it to change the | |
308 | set of initial choices to anything that can be expressed with regexps. The | |
309 | regexps must be URL-encoded UTF-8 PCRE regexps. | |
