4 | DisOrder is a multi-user software jukebox. |
5 | * It can play either selected tracks or pick tracks at random. | |
6 | * It supports OGG, MP3, FLAC and WAV files, and can be configured to support | |
7 | anything you can supply a player for (up to a point). | |
8 | * It supports both ALSA and OSS and can also broadcast an RTP stream over a | |
9 | LAN; a player for the latter is included. | |
10 | * Tracks may be selected either via a hierarchical interface or by a fast | |
11 | word search. | |
12 | * It has a web interface (allowing access from graphical web browsers) and a | |
13 | GTK+ interface that runs on Linux and Mac systems. | |
14 | * Playing tracks can be paused or cancelled ("scratched"). | |

18 | The server supports Linux and can be made to on a Mac (see README.mac). The |
19 | clients work on both Linux and the Mac. It could probably be ported to some | |
20 | other UNIX variants without too much effort. Things you will need: | |

22 | Build dependencies: | |
23 | Name Tested Notes | |
1a0d3568 | 24 | libdb 4.3.29 4.2 and earlier won't work |
25 | libgc 6.8 | |
26 | libvorbisfile 1.1.2 | |
27 | libpcre 6.7 need UTF-8 support | |
460b9539 | 28 | libmad 0.15.1b |

38 | GLIB 2.12.4 (if you want the GTK+ client) | |
460b9539 | 39 | |
40 | "Tested" means I've built against that version; earlier or later versions will | |
41 | often work too. | |
42 | ||
43 | Runtime dependencies: | |
460b9539 | 44 | * Web server: |
45 | + Apache 1.3.x works for me, but anything that supports CGI and | |
46 | authentication should be suitable. | |
1a0d3568 | 47 | * Separate player programs are no longer required (but may still be used) |
460b9539 | 48 | |
49 | Development dependencies (only developers will need these): | |
1a0d3568 | 50 | Automake 1.10 AM_PATH_PYTHON not good enough in 1.7 |
51 | Autoconf 2.61 | |
52 | Libtool 1.5.22 1.4 not good enough | |
39068fb4 | 53 | Bazaar (bzr) |
460b9539 | 54 | |

68 | Installation | |
69 | ============ | |
70 | ||
71 | "This place'd be a paradise tomorrow, if every department had a supervisor | |
72 | with a machine-gun" | |
73 | ||
74 | NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see README.upgrades. | |
75 | ||
76 | 1. Build the software. Do something like this: | |
77 | ||
78 | ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var | |
79 | make | |
80 | ||
81 | See INSTALL for more details about driving configure. The precise set of | |
82 | options you pass to configure is up to you, if you like configuration being | |
83 | in /usr/local/etc or wherever then that should work. | |
84 | ||
85 | If you only want to build a subset of DisOrder, specify one or more of the | |
86 | following options: | |
87 | --without-server Don't build server or web interface | |
88 | --without-gtk Don't build GTK+ client (Disobedience) | |
89 | --without-python Don't build Python support | |
90 | ||
655cae67 RK |
91 | See README.client for setting up a standalone client (or read the |
92 | disobedience man page). | |
93 | ||
460b9539 | 94 | 2. Install it. Most of the installation is done via the install target: |
95 | ||
96 | make installdirs install | |
97 | ||
813070ec RK |
98 | The CGI interface has to be installed separately; see under 'Web Interface' |
99 | below. | |
460b9539 | 100 | |
460b9539 | 101 | 3. Create a 'jukebox' user and group, with the jukebox group being the default |
102 | group of the jukebox user. The server will run as this user and group. | |
103 | Check that this user can read your music files and write to the audio | |
104 | device, e.g. by playing a track. The exact name doesn't matter, it could be | |
105 | 'jukebox' or 'disorder' or 'fred' or whatever. | |
106 | ||
107 | Do not use a general-purpose user or group, you must create ones | |
108 | specifically for DisOrder. | |
109 | ||
110 | 4. Create /etc/disorder/config. Start from examples/config.sample and adapt it | |
be2d9f37 | 111 | to your own requirements. The things you MUST do are: |
460b9539 | 112 | * edit the 'collection' command to identify the location(s) of your own |
113 | digital audio files. These commands also specify the encoding of | |
114 | filenames, which you should be sure to get right as recovery from an | |
115 | error here can be painful (see BUGS). | |
be2d9f37 RK |
116 | Optionally you may also want to do the following: |
117 | * add 'player' commands for any file formats not supported natively | |
460b9539 | 118 | * edit the 'scratch' commands to supply scratch sounds (or delete them if |
119 | you don't want any). | |
460b9539 | 120 | * add or remove 'stopword' entries as necessary (these words won't take |
121 | part in track name searches from the web interface). | |
122 | ||
123 | See disorder_config(5) for more details. | |
124 | ||
da6f7693 RK |
125 | See README.streams for how to set up network play. |
126 | ||
127 | If adding new 'player' commands, see README.raw for details on setting up | |
128 | "raw format" players. Non-raw players are still supported but not in all | |
129 | configurations and they cannot support pausing and gapless play. | |
6e2c9f5f | 130 | |
36be7e6a | 131 | 5. Make sure the server is started at boot time. |
e83d0967 RK |
132 | |
133 | On many Linux systems, examples/disorder.init should be more or less | |
134 | suitable; install it in /etc/init.d, adapting it as necessary, and make | |
135 | appropriate links from /etc/rc[0-6].d. | |
136 | ||
36be7e6a | 137 | 6. Start the server. |
e83d0967 RK |
138 | |
139 | On Linux systems with sysv-style init: | |
460b9539 | 140 | |
141 | /etc/init.d/disorder start | |
142 | ||
143 | By default disorderd logs to daemon.*; check your syslog.conf to see where | |
144 | this ends up and look for log messages from disorderd there. If it didn't | |
145 | start up correctly there should be an error message. Correct the problem | |
146 | and try again. | |
147 | ||
9025afab | 148 | 7. After a minute it should start to play something. Try scratching it: |
460b9539 | 149 | |
150 | disorder scratch | |
151 | ||
152 | The track should stop playing, and (if you set any up) a scratch sound play. | |
153 | ||
8ae47ac8 | 154 | 8. Add any other users you want. These easiest way to do this is: |
460b9539 | 155 | |
8ae47ac8 | 156 | disorder authorize USERNAME |
460b9539 | 157 | |
8ae47ac8 RK |
158 | This will automatically choose a random password and add new line to |
159 | /etc/disorder/config.private and create /etc/disorder/config.USERNAME. | |
460b9539 | 160 | |
9025afab RK |
161 | Those users should now be able to access the server from the same host as it |
162 | runs on, either via the disorder command or Disobedience. To run | |
163 | Disobedience from some other host, File->Login allows hostnames, passwords | |
164 | etc to be configured. | |
165 | ||
36be7e6a RK |
166 | 9. Optionally source completion.bash from /etc/profile or similar, for |
167 | example: | |
460b9539 | 168 | |
36be7e6a | 169 | . /usr/local/share/disorder/completion.bash |
460b9539 | 170 | |
36be7e6a | 171 | This provides completion over disorder command and option names. |
460b9539 | 172 | |
173 | ||
174 | Web Interface | |
175 | ============= | |
176 | ||
177 | "Thought I was a gonner baby, but I'm bullet proof" | |
178 | ||
179 | These instructions assumes you are using Apache 1.3.x. | |
180 | ||
181 | You need to configure a number of things to make this work: | |
182 | ||
be2d9f37 RK |
183 | 1. If you want to have a 'jukebox' virtual host, modify the DNS accordingly and |
184 | use a fragment such as this one: | |
460b9539 | 185 | |
186 | <VirtualHost HOSTNAME> | |
187 | DocumentRoot /home/jukebox/public_html | |
188 | ServerName jukebox.DOMAIN | |
189 | ServerAlias jukebox | |
190 | ServerAdmin webmaster@DOMAIN | |
191 | ErrorLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/error.log | |
192 | TransferLog /var/log/apache/jukebox/access.log | |
193 | Alias /static/ /usr/local/share/disorder/static/ | |
194 | </VirtualHost> | |
195 | ||
196 | /static/ should point to the 'static' directory installed by DisOrder. If | |
197 | you don't want to use the name 'static' then you can change the url.static | |
198 | label in the web interface configuration to your preferred URL; see | |
199 | disorder_config(5) for details. | |
200 | ||
201 | Don't forget to reload Apache after modifying its configuration. | |
202 | ||
203 | Separate logging is not required but I find it convenient. Up to you. | |
204 | ||
205 | 2. disorder.cgi assumes it is subject to access control (and in particular uses | |
206 | the username to report who did what). Here's how I configured Apache, given | |
207 | the above VirtualHost settings: | |
208 | ||
209 | <Directory /home/jukebox> | |
210 | Require valid-user | |
211 | AuthType basic | |
212 | AuthName jukebox | |
213 | AuthUserFile /home/jukebox/http.users | |
214 | </Directory> | |
215 | ||
216 | Adjust this according to wherever you're going to install disorder.cgi and | |
217 | its expected URL. | |
218 | ||
219 | Don't forget to reload apache after modifying its configuration. If you got | |
220 | it wrong, fix it and restart Apache. | |
221 | ||
222 | 3. Create the password file configured above. Something like this: | |
223 | ||
224 | # htpasswd -b -c /home/jukebox/http.users myusername mypassword | |
225 | Adding password for user myusername | |
226 | # htpasswd -b /home/jukebox/http.users othername otherpass | |
227 | Adding password for user othername | |
228 | ||
813070ec RK |
229 | 4. The jukebox must be configured to trust the web user. The example |
230 | configuration assumes that this is www-data, but it might be something else | |
231 | on your system. Edit the 'trust' line if necessary. | |
460b9539 | 232 | |
233 | 5. Install disorder.cgi in an appropriate location. Remember to make it | |
813070ec RK |
234 | executable. For example: |
235 | ||
236 | install -m 755 clients/disorder.cgi ~jukebox/public_html/index.cgi | |
460b9539 | 237 | |
be2d9f37 RK |
238 | 6. The config file must also allow the web interface to be any user, and it |
239 | must list the URL of the web interface explicitly: | |
240 | ||
241 | trust www-data | |
242 | url http://jukebox.DOMAIN/ | |
243 | ||
244 | 7. Give www-data (or whatever user it is) a password and edit | |
460b9539 | 245 | /etc/disorder/config.private accordingly. This file should be mode 640 and |
246 | owned by root:jukebox. The line should look something like this: | |
247 | ||
248 | allow www-data MYPASSWORD | |
249 | ||
250 | After editing the config file, you must make the daemon re-read it: | |
251 | ||
252 | disorder reconfigure | |
253 | ||
be2d9f37 | 254 | 8. Teach www-data its password, by putting it in /etc/disorder/config.www-data. |
460b9539 | 255 | This file should be mode 640 and owned by root:www-data. |
256 | ||
257 | password MYPASSWORD | |
258 | ||
259 | (You could also use ~www-data/.disorder/passwd for this but on some systems | |
260 | the web server user's home directory is inside the document root, which | |
be2d9f37 | 261 | would have rather unfortunate consequences!) |
460b9539 | 262 | |
be2d9f37 | 263 | 9. Try it out. You should be asked for a username and password that you |
460b9539 | 264 | configured earlier, and be shown details of what is playing and what other |
265 | tracks have been configured for future play. | |
266 | ||
be2d9f37 RK |
267 | 10. If you run into problems, always look at the appropriate error log; the |
268 | message you see in your web browser will usually not be sufficient to | |
269 | diagnose the problem all by itself. | |
460b9539 | 270 | |
be2d9f37 | 271 | 11. If you have a huge number of top level directories, then you might find |
460b9539 | 272 | that the 'Choose' page is unreasonably large. If so add the following line |
273 | to /etc/disorder/options.user: | |
274 | label sidebar.choosewhich choosealpha | |
275 | ||
276 | This will make 'Choose' be a link for each letter of the 26-letter Roman | |
277 | alphabet; follow the link and you just get the directories which start with | |
278 | that letter. The "*" link at the end gives you directories which don't | |
279 | start with a letter. | |
280 | ||
281 | You can copy choosealpha.html to /etc/disorder and edit it to change the | |
282 | set of initial choices to anything that can be expressed with regexps. The | |
283 | regexps must be URL-encoded UTF-8 PCRE regexps. | |
