Description

Provide a default LMS configuration when one invokes the /with-lms Snakeoil install option. The default settings will

  • Pick material skin as default (Only if this can be done in server prefs)
  • Disable “report back” feature
  • Disable the metadata plugin
  • Music folder will be pointing to /media/music
  • Playlists folder will be pointing to /media/playlists

LMS installation via the Snakeoil software page will just install the package and not the configuration. As that will risk overriding any existing configuration.

:loudspeaker: This is live now. :cheer1:

Fresh install of Snakeoil (With LMS) will default to Material Skin now. Music and playlists folders are also automatically setup so in theory it will be good to go - just need to go to the Snakeoil WebApp and set Lyrion Music Server to start. :+1:

Tested and works in my setup. Refer to this article for installation details: 🎆 Install Snakeoil Package

Did a stretch test by manually removing LMS and running install script. And it brings up material skin from webapp. :clap:

In other words, if someone initially installed SO without LMS, they can rerun the script to get LMS.

Just tried a fresh install on Pi5 and everything working as intended.

I have updated install SO , clarifying the 2 install options. Not sure whether we should include warning that the LMS download is slow from the Lyrion server? And do you want me to update the Quick Start Guide yet?

Snakeoil (aka me) is hosting the LMS files to make it easier. I will add more versions to it so user has the option of switching LMS if needed.

Download is slow because the network connection on the bare metal host hosting these files is

  • slower
  • with a lower spec’ed CPU
  • but a lot more disk space

Contrast that to the bare metal host that’s running this forum and blog:

  • higher spec CPU
  • faster network connection
  • but smaller disk space

It’s all a compromise to keep the costs down I guess :sweating:

PSA :loudspeaker: This thread should auto-close any time now. 24 hours should come soon. Hopefully :crossed_fingers: .
