# installJRMC

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

## Notes

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 like `createrepo` (see services section below for more information). Doing so may lead to permissions issues.
3.  I do my best to test on Fedora/CentOS/Ubuntu/Debian but there are a lot of quirks to support

## Options

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.

Here is a list of additional 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)
    DEB-based OSes: Official package repository
    RPM-based OSes: BryanC unofficial repository
--install-rpmbuild
     (RPM-based OSes only) Build RPM from source DEB and install it
--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: scrape the latest version from Interact)
--restorefile RESTOREFILE
    Restore file location for registration (Default: skip registration)
--betapass PASSWORD
    Enter beta team password for access to beta builds
--service-user USER
    Install systemd services and containers for USER
--service, -s SERVICE
    See SERVICES section below for a list of possible services to install
--container, -c CONTAINER
    See CONTAINERS section below for a list of possible services to install
--createrepo
    Build rpm, copy to webroot, and run createrepo
--createrepo-webroot PATH
    The webroot directory to install the repo (Default: /srv/jriver/)
--createrepo-user USER
    The web server user (Default: current user)
--version, -v
    Print this script version and exit
--debug, -d
    Print debug output
--force, -f
    Force reinstallation and ignore/overwrite previous 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)
```
**Some options are incompatible**, for example it is not possible to install the `mediaserver` service on Ubuntu/Debian when using `--rpmbuild` or `--createrepo` since those options do not actually install Media Center. `installJRMC` does perform sanity checks to automatically fix conflicting options, but it may not catch all edge cases.



#### 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.

It is possible to specify multiple services: `installJRMC --service x11vnc --service mediacenter`
```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)
    --vncpass and --display are also valid options (see below)
jriver-vnc-mediacenter
    Enable and start a vncserver running JRiver Media Center
    --vncpass PASSWORD
        Set vnc password for x11vnc/vncserver 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 vncserver/x11vnc (Default: The current display (x11vnc) or next
        available display (vncserver))
jriver-createrepo
    Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo
```
