API & Web Controller on one RPi ??

[autofrank]

Hi,
Would there be any conflict if I wanted to install the web controller on a raspberry pi that is already running your sonos-http-api

Thanks

No, it should be fine. You will need to create a runner (for auto restarting) and a startup job to start at boot, you can copy the approach I used by looking at the approach I took:

/etc/local.d/http-api.start
/flash/apps/runner/start_http_api.sh

When you add or modify files outside of the /flash folder, you need to persist changes by calling lbu_commit, otherwise they will be lost when rebooting (since it runs from a RAM drive).

Can I add it within the /flash folder or do I have to install it outside that folder ?

You can add anything you want to the /flash folder. But, if you want it to autostart, you need to put the startup script in /etc/local.d or change stuff in /etc, that was what I was referring to.

btw - do you have any plans to add some more functionality
Specifically I'd be interested in he ability to select a line in or a playlist ?

To the web-controller? Haven't had time to focus on it in a long time. Those features are fairly trivial to fix, but first and foremost it must be updated to utilize the latest version of sonos-discovery which requires some work.
