[size=20pt]installJRMC[/size]

This program will install [url=https://www.jriver.com/]JRiver Media Center[/url] and associated services on most major Linux distros.

You can always find the latest version of installJRMC, changelog, and documentation in [url=https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC]my repository[/url].

[size=18pt]Instructions[/size]

Download and unzip installJRMC from the attachment below or grab the latest stable version directly from my repo and execute it:

[code]curl -O https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC/raw/master/installJRMC && 
chmod +x ./installJRMC && 
./installJRMC [--option [ARGUMENT]][/code]

Running `installJRMC` without any options will install the latest version of JRiver Media Center from the official JRiver repository (Ubuntu/Debian) or my [url=https://repos.bryanroessler.com/jriver/]unofficial repository[/url] (Fedora/CentOS) using the system package manager ([i]i.e.[/i] --install repo). If any other option is passed, then the install method (--install repo or --install local) must be specified, to make it possible to install services and containers independent of MC.

[size=18pt]Services[/size]

[code]jriver-mediaserver (user)
    Enable and start a mediaserver systemd service (requires an existing X server)
jriver-mediacenter (user)
    Enable and start a mediacenter systemd service (requires an existing X server)
jriver-x11vnc (user)
    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 (system)
    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
    Manually specify display to use for x11vnc/Xvnc (ex. ':1')
jriver-createrepo (system)
    Install hourly service to build latest MC RPM and run createrepo
    By default installs as root service to handle www permissions more gracefully
[/code]

By default, MC services use a sane `--service-type` listed next to the service name in the Services description. User services can be manipulated as an unprivileged user, for example: [i]systemctl --user stop jriver-mediacenter[/i] and begin at user login. System services are manipulable as root, for example: [i]sudo systemctl stop jriver-servicename@username.service[/i] and begin at system boot. Note that it is possible to run all services of a particular user at boot using [url=https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/loginctl.html]sudo loginctl enable-linger username[/url].

Multiple services (but not --service-types) can be installed at one time using multiple --service blocks: [code]installJRMC --install repo --service jriver-x11vnc --service jriver-mediacenter[/code]

[size=14pt]jriver-x11vnc versus jriver-xvnc[/size]

[url=http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/]jriver-x11vnc[/url] shares your existing X display via VNC and can be combined with additional services to start Media Center or Media Server. Conversely, [url=https://tigervnc.org/doc/Xvnc.html]jriver-xvnc[/url] creates a new Xvnc display and starts a JRiver Media Center service in the foreground of the new VNC display.

[size=18pt]Containers[/size]

[b]Coming soon![/b]

[size=18pt]Firewall[/size]

`installJRMC` automatically creates port forwarding firewall rules for remote access to Media Network (52100-52200/tcp, 1900/udp DLNA) and Xvnc/x11vnc (if selected), using `firewall-cmd` or `ufw`.
[b]Note:[/b] `ufw` is not installed by default on Debian but will be installed by `installJRMC`. To prevent SSH lock-out, Debian users that have not already enabled `ufw` will need to `sudo ufw enable` after running `installJRMC` and inspecting their configuration.
