Ampache - How to add a catalog / media with custom storage? -
Ampache - How to add a catalog / media with custom storage?Hi,
I have a similar problem of @necrevistonnezr here.
I installed Ampache with the docker, although I am not familiar with the docker infrastructure, nor with the issue that can arise with it.
My docker is in
/home/cocconat/ampache/
Once I installed the service all run smooth, and I can add the two test songs in the
/home/cocconat/ampache/data/media/
All amazing.
Now I would like to add to the Catalog my entire music library. It lives in an external storage mounted in
/home/cocconat/data/Music
I tried to make a link to the folder with
sudo ln -s /home/cocconat/Music ampache/data/media/music
but the catalogue does not see the linked folder,
I also tried to add a custom path in the
Admin -> Add Catalog
, I choseLocal
catalog and use the abs path of my folder/home/cocconat/data/Music
or the relative path../../Music
which seems a bit silly ehehe.Anyway, no way to find this folder.
My storage is anexfat
mounted with fstab options:defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 1
which should be fine if I do not want to upload/change the files.Is this a problem? shall I add www-data to my group?
And how am I supposed to add the folder? via the link or somehow else?
Thanks,
cocconat
