# installJRMC
|
|
|
|
This program will install [JRiver Media Center](https://www.jriver.com/) and associated helper services on Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and SUSE.
|
|
|
|
## README
|
|
|
|
1. This script will not point major upgrades 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. Typically `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-level 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. SUSE users will need to use the `--install rpm` install method until a SUSE repo becomes available. If any other option is specified, then the default install method will need to be specified using `--install`. This makes it possible to install services and containers independent of Media Center.
|
|
|
|

You can always find the latest supported options by running `installJRMC --help`.

|
### 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 installations (e.g. containers, servers) it may be necessary to run as root.
|
|
|
|
```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
|
|
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. )
|
|
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 --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.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: If `jriver-xvnc` finds an existing display it will attempt to increment the display number by 1. This should work fine in most 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 add port forwarding firewall rules enabling 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/SUSE 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 `sudo ufw enable` after running `installJRMC` and inspecting their configuration.
