Subsonic is a java application that should run on all supported platforms. When used as a server there are no additional hardware requirements. When run as a jukebox, audio out would be a requirement.
Some form of (external) storage is desirable to hold the media library.
Security considerations
Apart from some autoconnected interfaces, the removable-media interface is consumed by the Subsonic snap. This would need to be autoconnected in the appliance.
The snap is regularly updated to incorporate security patches and updates to the Ubuntu packages the software depends on. Upstream for Subsonic is also monitored regularly.
Great idea! Thanks for maintaining your snap of subsonic - especially for keeping it up to date for over two years. Have you spoken to upstream about making an ‘official’ subsonic (using the real name, rather than the name-spaced one) snap?
I think it would be good to re-visit conversations with upstream both on the subject of an official snap - which may well be co-maintained by yourself (?) and an appliance based on it. What do you think?
Wow, has it been two years already? Wasn’t completely my idea though. The thought did cross my mind when I heard about appliances, but @wimpy provided the final nudge to make this a reality.
I wholeheartedly agree. I will attempt to establish contact with upstream again to get the ball rolling…
Unfortunately not. I was just now checking my mailbox to see if I had been replied to.
It has been two months, and I unfortunately have had zero reaction.
I have despaired of ever getting in contact with the maker of Subsonic. Also since there hasn’t been a new release in quite some time, I wonder if it is even in active development still.
I have started snapping Airsonic. When it is ready I will submit a new proposal for an AirSonic appliance.
Of course, if you run into issues with the snap let us know, here or on
