Administering Subsonic
Note that the installer configures your system to start Subsonic automatically
when booting. After the installation, open the Subsonic web page at
http://localhost:4040
.
Changing users
The Subsonic process is run with the root user in the provided default configuration.
Therefore, you should the server as a dedicated user with fewer privileges. You
can specify these rights by setting the
SUBSONIC_USER
variable in
/etc/default/
subsonic
:
SUBSONIC_USER=debian
Note that nonroot users are by default not allowed to use ports below 1024 then use
ports above that. Also, make sure to grant write permissions to the user in the music
directories, otherwise changing the album art and tags will fail.
