Installation Notes

Python is required but not included as a dependency
to allow for user version preferences.

- python.tczl (current ver. 2.6.4) works as is without modification.

- python-2.5.2.tczl requires a symlink to /usr/local/bin/python which can
  be created like this:

  sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/bin/python

- python-2.5.2-minimal does not work at the moment.


Optional Extensions

pyogg-vorbis.tcz  - required if you want to stream ogg-vorbis files
tcp-wrappers.tczl - to filter network traffic
sshfs-fuse-2.2.tcz - to allow access via Secure Shell (SSH)


Configuration

Your configuration file is located at: /home/tc/.edna/edna.conf

The only option which must be set prior to use is the location
of your mp3 directory in the [sources] section. (default not set)

Other options you may want to change are:

1. The port number (default 8080)
2. User and password authentication (default none)
3. Logging options (default standard out)
3. Server customization and appearance


Running Edna

********************* Important ***********************
Make sure the directory pointed to in your config file
is mounted and accessible prior to starting edna.
*******************************************************

1. From the window manager menu:

applications -> Edna -> [Start] [Stop] [Restart]

2. From a terminal:

sudo edna start
sudo edna stop
sudo edna restart
 

Accessing Your Music

1. From the edna host:

localhost:8080
127.0.0.1:8080

2. From a local network client - enter the LAN address of edna host

ex. 192.168.0.100:8080

3. From a remote client - enter your IP address


Boot Startup

To start edna at system boot, add the following line to /opt/bootlocal.sh

/usr/local/bin/edna start

Note: make sure the command to mount your mp3 directory comes beforehand.


Addendum

The configuration template is located at: /usr/local/etc/edna.config

Should you accidentally erase the config file in your home directory
and find yourself without a backup copy, simply run:

sudo edna

... and a new one will be created, ready for modification.
