mediamonkeyserver v0.1.4

mediamonkey server

MediaMonkey Server is a cross-platform media server written in Node.js.

The code is based on upnpserver package.

Installation

$ npm install mediamonkeyserver

• 'uws' package needs binary modules, for platforms where we can't compile (some NAS devices) we might want to replace it by 'ws' in engine.io

Running

$ npm start
Server will start on port 10222

Running as a Service with Systemd

Below is a systemd script that can be created and placed in /etc/systemd/system/mediamonkeyserver.service so that the server can be run on system startup. Make sure you change your paths/variables for your system.

#Path for Node and your individual server location may be different, change paths appropriately
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/username/programs/mms/server.js

Finish the setup with the following steps:

• Enable the service
