# installJRMC

This self-contained program will install [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated services on most major Linux distros.

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

## Executing

`installJRMC [--option [ARGUMENT]]`

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

## Options

```text
$ installJRMC --help
--install, -i repo|local
    repo: Install MC from repository, future updates will be handled by the system package manager
    local: Build and install MC package locally from official source package
--build[=suse|fedora|centos]
    Build RPM from source DEB but do not install
    Optionally, specify a target distro for cross-building (ex. --build=suse, note the '=')
--compat
    Build/install MC without minimum dependency version requirements
--mcversion VERSION
    Build or install a specific MC version, ex. "32.0.6" (default: latest version)

--outputdir PATH
    Generate rpmbuild output in this PATH (default: ./output)
--restorefile RESTOREFILE

--betapass PASSWORD
    Enter beta team password for access to beta builds
--service, -s SERVICE
    See SERVICES section below for the list of services to deploy
  --service-type user|system
      Starts services at boot (system) or user login (user) (default: per-service, see SERVICES)
--container, -c CONTAINER (TODO: Under construction)
    See CONTAINERS section below for a list of containers to deploy
--createrepo[=suse|fedora|centos]
    Build rpm, copy to webroot, and run createrepo.
    Optionally, specify a target distro for non-native repo (ex. --createrepo=fedora, note the '=')
  --createrepo-webroot PATH
      The webroot directory to install the repo (default: /var/www/jriver/)
  --createrepo-user USER
      The web server user if different from the current user
--yes, -y, --auto
    Always assume yes for questions
--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, service files, and firewall rules (does not remove library or media files)
```

## Services

```text
jriver-mediaserver (--service-type=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
```

### `--service-type`

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

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

### `jriver-x11vnc` versus `jriver-xvnc`

[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](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.

## Containers

**Coming soon!**

## Firewall

`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`.

**Note:** `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.

## Examples

* `installJRMC`

    Install the latest version of MC from the best available repository.

* `installJRMC --install local --compat`

    Install a more widely-compatible version of the latest MC (for older distros).

* `installJRMC --install repo --service jriver-mediacenter --service-type user`

    Install MC from the repository and start/enable `jriver-mediacenter.service` as a user service.

* `installJRMC --install local --compat --restorefile /path/to/license.mjr --mcversion 32.0.6`

    Build and install an MC 32.0.6 comptability RPM locally and activate it using the `/path/to/license.mjr`

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

     Build an RPM locally for the current distro, move it to the webroot, and run createrepo as `www-user`.

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

    Install 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"`

    Install services to share the existing local desktop via VNC and automatically run MC on startup.

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

    Install an Xvnc server on display ':2' that starts MC.

* `installJRMC --uninstall`

    Uninstall MC, services, and firewall rules. This will **not** remove your media, media library/database, or library backup folder.
