🔥 Deprecation and removal
Deprecation of Debian 8 (Jessie)
This info is an early warning that we're deprecating a major os version.
Debian 9 (Stretch) is now available and Jessie is EOL since June 2018.
⚠️ Known issues
The following issues may need a workaround for the time being. Please search the issues before reporting problems not listed below.
Installer Issues
The installer is generally a bit unstable, we hope to be able to offer some reasonable packages at some point. Some of the GUI driven parts before the first login are also in a somewhat questionable state.
For now the installer distro selection is pretty good at auto detecting your os and usually does an ok job depending on your distro. You should usually not need to pass a --distribution and --release parameter, those are still supported for the time being but their use isn't recommended.
The UI works best if you don't use it in an opinionated fashion and change just the bare minimal.
If you want to skip the installer GUI completely you can configure LibreTime using airtime_mvc/build/airtime.example.conf
as an template. Due to some python/PHP differences you must remove all comments from the example to use it 😞. You'll also have to create some folder structures manually and check if the music dir got properly created directly in the database. Referencing a second install -fiap
install on a non productive system for reference can help with this type of bootstrap.
Media-Monitor config needs manual removing
If you are using the install
script you should most likely remove the [media-monitor]
config section from your /etc/airtime/airtime.conf
file to ensure you don't run into the problems described in
https://github.com/libretime/libretime/issues/450. We recommend you do this before running the update since there are no known LibreTime releases that depend on the config value.
