Upgrade to Libresonic from Subsonic

This guide helps you to migrate your data from Subsonic to Libresonic. It has been tested with Subsonic 5 to Libresonic 6.

Install Libresonic as described in INSTALL.md. The author of this guide used the standalone solution without Java Tomcat.

After installation of Libresonic, the database needs to be migrated. In preperation for that, stop the Libresonic service

sudo service libresonic stop

If you ran Subsonic before, your data will be (by default) stored in /var/subsonic. Assuming you did not use Libresonic before, we will delete all data from Libresonic

sudo rm -r /var/libresonic # WARNING: DELETES all Libresonic data (Subsonic data will be kept)

We then copy Subsonic data to Libresonic location. Be aware that a couple of files need to be renamed:

sudo cp -a /var/subsonic /var/libresonic
sudo mv /var/libresonic/subsonic_sh.log libresonic_sh.log
sudo mv /var/libresonic/subsonic.log libresonic.log
sudo mv /var/libresonic/subsonic.properties libresonic.properties
sudo mv /var/libresonic/db/subsonic.backup /var/libresonic/db/libresonic.backup
sudo mv /var/libresonic/db/subsonic.data /var/libresonic/db/libresonic.data
sudo mv /var/libresonic/db/subsonic.lck /var/libresonic/db/libresonic.lck
sudo mv /var/libresonic/db/subsonic.log /var/libresonic/db/libresonic.log
sudo mv /var/libresonic/db/subsonic.properties /var/libresonic/db/libresonic.properties
sudo mv /var/libresonic/db/subsonic.script /var/libresonic/db/libresonic.script

Then start Libresonic service again.

sudo service libresonic start

Your old settings will be there. If you wish, you can delete subsonic data

sudo rm -r /var/subsonic # Optional, THIS WILL DELETE SUBSONIC DATA
