# installJRMC

This program will install [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated helper services on Fedora (>=29), CentOS (>=8), Ubuntu (>=16.04), and Debian (>=9).

## README

1.  This script will not point major upgrades (i.e. from v25 to v26) to your old library. You should **first perform a library backup**, install the new major version, and then restore the library backup in the new version.
2.  In *most* cases `installJRMC` should be **executed as your normal user** (i.e. don't run it with `sudo`). Services are installed for the user that executes the script so do not execute as root unless you want to install system-wide services. Doing so may lead to permissions issues. `installJRMC` will prompt you for your `sudo` password as necessary to install dependencies and services.

## Executing

`installJRMC [--option [ARGUMENT]]`

Running `installJRMC` without any options will install the latest version of JRiver Media Center from the official JRiver repository (Ubuntu/Debian) or my [unofficial repository](https://repos.bryanroessler.com/jriver/) (Fedora/CentOS) using the system package manager. If any other option is specified then the default install method will need to be specified using `--install-repo` (or `--install-rpm`). This makes it possible to install services, containers, repos, etc. independent from Media Center.

## Options

Here is a list of possible options that can be passed to the script. You can always find the latest supported options by running `installJRMC --help`.

```text
--install-repo
    Install JRiver Media Center from repository using package manager (Default)

--rpmbuild
    Build RPM from source DEB
--outputdir PATH
    Generate rpmbuild output in this directory (Default: $PWD/outputdir)
--mcversion VERSION
    Build or install a specific version (Default: install the latest version)
--restorefile RESTOREFILE
    Restore file location for registration (Default: skip registration)
--betapass PASSWORD

--service, -s SERVICE
    See SERVICES section below for a list of possible services to install

    TODO: Containers are a work-in-progress

--createrepo-webroot PATH
    The webroot directory to install the repo (Default: /srv/jriver/)

    The web server user (Default: current user)
--version, -v
    Print this script version and exit
--debug, -d
    Print debug output
--help, -h
    Print help dialog and exit
--uninstall, -u
    Uninstall JRiver MC, cleanup service files, and remove firewall rules (does not remove library files)
```


### services
When installing systemd services it is important to execute `installJRMC` as the user you wish to run the services. Typically this is your normal user account but for some server installations it may be necessary to execute the script as root. If so, use `--service-user root` to override sanity checks.


```text
jriver-mediaserver
    Enable and start a mediaserver systemd service (requires an existing X server)
jriver-mediacenter
    Enable and start a mediacenter systemd service (requires an existing X server)
jriver-x11vnc
    Enable and start x11vnc for the local desktop (requires an existing X server, does NOT support Wayland)
    --vncpass and --display are also valid options (see below)
jriver-xvnc-mediacenter
    Enable and start a new Xvnc session running JRiver Media Center
    --vncpass PASSWORD
        Set vnc password for x11vnc/Xvnc access. If no password is set, the script
        will either use existing password stored in ~/.vnc/jrmc_passwd or use no password
    --display DISPLAY
        Display to start x11vnc/Xvnc (Default: The current display (x11vnc) or the
        current display incremented by 1 (Xvnc))
jriver-createrepo
    Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo
```

It is possible to install multiple services at one time using multiple `--service` blocks: `installJRMC --install-repo --service jriver-x11vnc --service jriver-mediacenter`

##### `jriver-x11vnc` versus `jriver-xvnc-mediacenter`
[jriver-x11vnc](http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/) shares your existing X display via VNC and can be combined with additional services to start Media Center or Media Server. Conversely, [jriver-xvnc-mediacenter](https://tigervnc.org/doc/Xvnc.html) creates a new Xvnc display and starts a JRiver Media Center service in the foreground of the new VNC display. The requisite firewall rules will also be added to the system firewall to enable remote access.

**Notes**:
1.   If `jriver-xvnc-mediacenter` finds an existing display it will attempt to increment the display number by 1. This should work fine in 99% of cases, but if you have multiple running X servers on your host machine you should use the `--display` option to specify a free display.

### Firewall Rules

`installJRMC` will automatically install and enable port forwarding firewall rules to enable remote access to Media Server (52100-52200/tcp, 1900/udp DLNA) and Xvnc/x11vnc (depends on port selection). `installJRMC` uses `firewall-cmd` on Fedora/CentOS and `ufw` on Ubuntu/Debian.

**Note:** `ufw` is not installed by default on Debian but will be installed by `installJRMC`. To prevent user lock-out (i.e. SSH), Debian users that have not already enabled `ufw` will need to do so (`sudo ufw enable`) after running `installJRMC` and inspecting their rules.

### containers

**Coming soon!**

## Examples

*   `installJRMC`

    Installs the latest version of JRiver Media Center from the repository.

*   `installJRMC --install-repo --service jriver-mediaserver`

    Installs JRiver Media Center from the repository and starts/enables the /MediaServer service.

*   `installJRMC --install-rpm --restorefile /path/to/license.mjr --mcversion 26.0.56`

    Builds JRiver Media Center version 26.0.56 RPM from the source DEB, installs it (RPM distros only), and activates it using the specified .mjr license file.

*   `installJRMC --createrepo --createrepo-webroot /srv/jriver/repo --createrepo-user www-user`

     Builds the RPM, moves it to the webroot, and runs createrepo as `www-user`.

*   `installJRMC --service jriver-createrepo --createrepo-webroot /srv/jriver/repo --createrepo-user www-user`

    Installs the jriver-createrepo timer and service to build the RPM, move it to the webroot, and run createrepo as `www-user` hourly.

*   `installJRMC --install-repo --service jriver-x11vnc --service jriver-mediacenter --vncpass "letmein"`

    Installs services to share the existing local desktop via VNC and automatically run Media Center on startup.

*   `installJRMC --install-repo --service jriver-xvnc-mediacenter --display ":2"`

    Installs an Xvnc server on display ':2' that starts Media Center.

*   `installJRMC --uninstall`

    Uninstalls JRiver Media Center and its associated services and firewall rules. This will **not** remove your media, media library/database, or automated library backup folder.
