The Mopidy Debian package is available from `apt.mopidy.com
|
|
<http://apt.mopidy.com/>`__ as well as from Debian, Ubuntu and other
|
|
Debian-based Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|

|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`debian-install`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running as a system service
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The Debian package comes with an init script. It starts Mopidy as a system
|
|
service running as the ``mopidy`` user, which is created by the package.
|
|
|
|
The Debian package version 0.18.3-1 and older starts Mopidy as a system
|
|
service by default. Version 0.18.3-2 and newer asks if you want to run Mopidy
|
|
as a system service, defaulting to not doing so.
|
|
|
|
If you're running 0.18.3-2 or newer, and you've changed your mind about whether
|
|
or not to run Mopidy as a system service, just run the following command to
|
|
reconfigure the package::
|
|
|
|
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mopidy
|
|
|
|
If you're running 0.18.3-1 or older, and don't want to use the init script to
|
|
run Mopidy as a system service, but instead just run Mopidy manually using your
|
|
own user, you need to disable the init script and stop Mopidy by running::
|
|
|
|
sudo update-rc.d mopidy disable
|
|
sudo service mopidy stop
|
|
|
|
This way of disabling the system service is compatible with the improved
|
|
0.18.3-2 or newer version of the Debian package, so if you later upgrade to a
|
|
newer version, you can change your mind using the ``dpkg-reconfigure`` command
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Differences when running as a system service
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
If you want to run Mopidy using the init script, there's a few differences
|
|
from a regular Mopidy setup you'll want to know about.
|
|
|
|
- All configuration is in :file:`/etc/mopidy`, not in your user's home
|
|
directory. The main configuration file is :file:`/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf`.
|
|
You can do all your changes in this file.
|
|
|
|
- Mopidy extensions installed from Debian packages will sometimes install
|
|
additional configuration files in :file:`/usr/share/mopidy/conf.d/`. These
|
|
files just provide different defaults for the extension when run as a system
|
|
service. You can override anything from :file:`/usr/share/mopidy/conf.d/` in
|
|
the :file:`/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf` configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Previously, the extension's default config was installed in
|
|
:file:`/etc/mopidy/extensions.d/`. This was removed with the Debian
|
|
package mopidy 0.19.4-3. If you have modified any files in
|
|
:file:`/etc/mopidy/extensions.d/`, you should redo your modifications in
|
|
:file:`/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf` and delete the
|
|
:file:`/etc/mopidy/extensions.d/` directory.
|
|
|
|
- The init script runs Mopidy as the ``mopidy`` user. The ``mopidy`` user will
|
|
need read access to any local music you want Mopidy to play.
|
|
|
|
- To run Mopidy subcommands with the same user and config files as the init
|
|
script uses, you can use ``sudo mopidyctl <subcommand>``. In other words,
|
|
where you'll usually run::
|
|
|
|
mopidy config
|
|
|
|
You should instead run the following to inspect the system service's
|
|
configuration::
|
|
|
|
sudo mopidyctl config
|
|
|
|
The same applies to scanning your local music collection. Where you'll
|
|
normally run::
|
|
|
|
mopidy local scan
|
|
|
|
You should instead run::
|
|
|
|
sudo mopidyctl local scan
|
|
|
|
Previously, you used ``sudo service mopidy run <subcommand>`` instead of
|
|
``mopidyctl``. This was deprecated in Debian package version 0.19.4-3 in
|
|
favor of ``mopidyctl``, which also work for systems using systemd instead of
|
|
sysvinit and traditional init scripts.
|
|
|
|
- Mopidy is started, stopped, and restarted just like any other system
|
|
service::
|
|
|
|
sudo service mopidy start
|
|
sudo service mopidy stop
|
|
sudo service mopidy restart
|
|
|
|
- You can check if Mopidy is currently running as a system service by running::
|
|
|
|
sudo service mopidy status
|
|
|
|
- Mopidy installed from a Debian package can use both Mopidy extensions
|
|
installed both from Debian packages and extensions installed with pip.
|
|
|
|
The other way around does not work: Mopidy installed with pip can use
|
|
extensions installed with pip, but not extensions installed from a Debian
|
|
package. This is because the Debian packages install extensions into
|
|
:file:`/usr/share/mopidy` which is normally not on your ``PYTHONPATH``.
|
|
Thus, your pip-installed Mopidy will not find the Debian package-installed
|
|
extensions.
