Startup Configuration Guide

Libresonic has some system-wide configuration. These configurations are stored in the libresonic.properties file. There is one exception, which is the libresonic.home parameter which is supplied as a Java System Property.

libresonic.properties

These parameters are simple key-value pairs stored in a list. It is recommended that these parameters are changed through the web interface settings page. However, they can also be modified directly. Shutdown your server first, modify, then start it for changes to take effect.

Java Parameters

The libresonic.home parameter is a Java System Property that is not modifiable through the web interface. It must be configured via Java startup parameters. See below for steps to do this.

libresonic.home

This parameter dictates the folder where Libresonic will store its logs, settings, transcode binaries, index and database if using the default H2 database. As such it is recommended to backup this folder.

default: /var/libresonic or C:\\music

Setting Java Parameters on Tomcat

As described in the RUNNING.txt doc provided by tomcat, you can create a file named setenv.sh or for windows setenv.bat in the Tomcat home bin folder to modify the java args.

Here is an example of a setenv.sh file (setenv.bat has slightly different syntax):

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dlibresonic.home=/home/andrew/.cache/libresonic-test"

Setting Java Parameters for Standalone Package (SpringBoot)

When running the standalone package, add -Dlibresonic.home=YOUR_PATH_HERE to the java command line right before the -jar argument. Here is an example for linux (windows users will want to use their OS specific path syntax i.e. C:\\your\path)

java -Dlibresonic.home=/home/andrew/libresonichome -jar libresonic.war
