Configuration

The following document is intended to provide a guide to configuring Partify to use in a home environment.

Getting There

To edit Partify's configuration, you must be logged in to a Partify user account that has administrator configuration modification privileges. If you have just installed Partify, you will get these rights when you register (provided you are the first user to register; subsequent users do not get administrative permissions by default). Once you are logged in, click the "admin" link at the top of any page. You will be taken to a page with, among other things, a section that is title "Configuration". It is in this section that you will want to make the relevant changes.

Setting Up Partify

Stuff You'll Need to Change

• MPD Server Hostname - If you aren't sure what to set this to and just installed Partify the Easy Way, simply enter localhost
• MPD Server Port - If you aren't sure what to set this to and just installed Partify the Easy Way, simply enter 6600
• Underlying Server Software - Set this to Tornado

Stuff You'll Want to Change

• Port to Listen to On - Set this to 80 if you want to be able to access your Partify installation by simply going to http://<your_server_with_partifys_hostname> instead of http://<your_server_with_partifys_hostname>:5000
• Last.fm API Key - Needed for retrieving images of the currently playing artist. Can be obtained from http://www.last.fm/api/account . If you don't have an API key from Last.fm, go ahead and apply for one. The application process is easy and will immediately approve you for a non-commercial account, which is all you need.

Stuff You Shouldn't Change

• Hostname to Listen On

Reference

MPD Server Hostname - Tells Partify what hostname to find the Mopidy server on. Required for playing music (Partify does not play music, but relies on Mopidy to do so.
