Historically only the WAR target has been built, because that is what I maintain for myself. Other targets(Windows EXE, OS X PKG, Debian/Ubuntu Deb, RedHat/Fedora RPM, Standalone JAR booter) would be good to have, but there is a lot of work that is needed before they can become official:

• Package names must be changed to avoid potential conflicts(Move to new namespace #52 is a start)
• Documentation needs to be created for building against each OS
• Automated build environment
• Spring Boot(Migrate to SpringBoot #142)
• Rework packaging info to take advantage of new changes

Can I volunteer for this? I'd love to help setting up CI (Travis?), and I could even update the build process documentation in the meantime.

Yes, please feel free. @zifnab06 had a Jenkins instance up at one point, but I don't know if that is current.

Thanks! For now I'm setting up Travis on my own repo, I'll let you know once it's ready. I'm actually not familiar with Jenkins, but the build process should be easy to port once I get it up and running.

Got a working version here : https://travis-ci.org/fxthomas/libresonic (see this commit).

It's still weird for me that Maven can't pick up artifacts from inter-module dependencies automatically without installing, but other than that it appears to work for :

• Debian packages
• WAR package
• Standalone archive
• Source archive

Things that need progress :

• I had to add dependencies to ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependencies, not sure why I need this yet but I will find out. The really weren't used, see PR.
• RPM packages can't be generated on Travis because rpmlint is only available on Xenial. Fixed by cloning the source.
• Debian packages don't build on Xenial at the moment because lintian is complaining a lot more than on Precise. They build on Jessie and on the maven:latest Docker image, for now this should be fine.
• Mac packages need a Mac
• Windows packages need Windows

For the first 3 points it's only a matter of time, but the last two are quite annoying to setup on a CI server.

I have decided to put this off until after 6.2, due to the Spring Boot migration. We'll revisit this around 6.3.

For what it's worth, having the standalone JAR only would suffice, as it can be run with scripts on any platform. I have always used the JAR from Subsonic for this very reason, as it requires the least dependencies. That would be more useful/important than exe/pkg/deb/rpm.

If we get a standalone jar for libresonic, I would gladly submit a port based on www/subsonic-standalone to the FreeBSD ports repository.

@josh4trunks The current pre-release artifacts for 6.2 can be used standalone. Its a little counter intuitive because they are war files, but they are also standalone executables.

@muff1nman ohh, awesome. Are the startup flags documented somewhere. Sorry, I'm being lazy asking here.

https://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic/blob/develop/documentation/CONFIGURATION.md however that doc isnt really conclusive/complete yet. There are also the parameters to control the initial default music folder, playlist etc that would probably be helpful as a package maintainer. In addition there are some spring boot parameters that can be used as well.

Ok, can I assume the parameters are the same as the subsonic standalone ones?

Here's what we set for FreeBSD for subsonic

	-Dsubsonic.defaultMusicFolder=${subsonic_home}/music \
	-Dsubsonic.defaultPodcastFolder=${subsonic_home}/Podcast \
	-Dsubsonic.defaultPlaylistFolder=${subsonic_home}/playlists \

Is still relevant, except its now libresonic.X

	-Dsubsonic.host=${subsonic_host} \
	-Dsubsonic.port=${subsonic_port} \

Are no longer controlled directly by libresonic, but can be done via spring boot config:

-Dserver.port=4040
-Dserver.address=127.0.0.1

Here is the full reference on all settings for spring boot. Not all of them will apply, but definitely take a look at the # EMBEDDED SERVER CONFIGURATION section:

Awesome, that should give me everything I need. I'll try to get this in the FreeBSD ports tree once 6.2 is released.

This is being considered as a Goal for v6.3 in #373.
