At time of LibreTime 3.0.0~alpha.8-1u3 , I've tried "add-apt-repository ppa:libretime/libretime" as indicated, but no success in Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster - stable).

PPA has only repository for "xenial" and "bionic" versions of OS (Ubuntu-like), I've tried them anyway, but dependencies aren't satisfiable with Debian.

Please, create a "buster" repository in PPA, to make LibreTime installable in this essential distro.

The following javascript projects need packaging (separately from LT):

• blockui
• bootstrap-datetime (the package in Debian is not the same, can we migrate?)
• colorpicker

Hi,

Thank you for this project! I help run a community radio in Vilnius and we use these .deb packages to provision Libretime. Not sure where to direct this, so opening an issue, let me know if there is a more appropriate channel.

Is there any way I could contribute / help with the Debian / Ubuntu packaging of Libretime?

I've tried using the .deb's provided, but they are all broken in subtle ways, e.g. assume a specific version of apache accross all distro versions (e.g. here) or use incorrect user names in systemd files (e.g. libretime-playout vs airtime-playout in postinst).

I think the majority of these issues could be eliminated by setting up a simple CI environment which attempts to build + install + start the services and do some basic checks (e.g. all airtime systemd services are running).

Not an expert in .deb packaging myself, but a Debian user for many years, so have some decent experience with the overall ecosystem.

Let me know what are your / the Libretime maintainers thoughts regarding the overall direction of .deb packaging.

P.S. I realize this is also related to the more general install / packaging questions of the Libretime project, but it is perhaps worthwhile to create good .deb based packaging and then propose to eliminate the manual installation scripts from the overall project?

Hi
I have successfully installed LibreTime on a small OrangePi PC under Armbian (based on ubuntu 18.04). (OrangePi PC is like a RaspberryPi2)
I have used libretime-debian-packaging fron github, convinced that I would have prepared a .deb to install it in another machine, but I don't understand how the packagin system works.

After launching the ./build.sh script and resolving all the dependencies, I searched for a .deb and did not find it .... so I launched the ./install.sh script and I have installed libretime on the machine test.
It wasn't what I wanted, but anyway libretime works very well it seems to me.

So I can confirm that libretime can be installed under ARM processors with Armbian bionic.

Now some questions:

1. I would like to install libretime under a control panel such as ISPConfig, and have icecast on another server (this is why I want to use the version that I have compiled for me with SSL support)

2. Is it possible to use MySQL / MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL?

3. Ideally, a Wordpress-style installer should be inserted and then the icecast mount point can be indicated on another server.

Regards
MaX

Hello,

FLAC format is not playing (preview and stream) with latest git of libretime-debian-packaging with
https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/compare/master...radiorabe:feature/liquidsoap-1.3-for-3.0.0-alpha.7.patch implemented.

While scheduled FLAC file is played, ON AIR is not lit and stream is silent.

All I see in logs is :
2020/02/24 12:50:36 [decoder:3] Unable to decode 2020/02/24 12:50:36 [decoder:3] Unable to decode "/var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/15None" as {audio=1+;video=0;midi=0}!

I tried to raise the debug level to 5 for liquidsoap by changing the liquidsoap.cfg file, but the verbosity remained the same.

liquidsoap -r file.flac shows that liquidsoap is recognizing the format.

There was a long discussion on Debian Devel around how to package large complex applications like LibreTime for Debian. Currently the issue is that Debian packaging policies are difficult to adhere with and an update to any one dependency could break the entire app. For example, GitLab took a year to package and is very brittle, which makes supporting it for the duration of Stretch difficult. Even Salsa (the Debian GitLab instance) does not run this package, rather manually using upstream's install and upgrade methods.

Perhaps we need to look at a 3rd party deb as our packaging method (so host a Debian archive that users can add to apt and install from) or package as a snap/flatpack and distribute that through the repos provided by either project.

The custom archive approach is appealing as we already have the basis for it. We could just roll back some of the library packing commits here and it should just require some tweaking before it is usable. Obviously we would have to include some other packages such as the Zend 1 framework which is only available in unstable currently. The disadvantage is that we would need to maintain a custom apt archive.

A containerised snap (or flatpack I guess, though I am less familiar with flatpack) can be uploaded to the snap store where users can easily download it. It is automatically updated and can be automatically built from GitHub releases. The issue with this approach is that we would have to start from scratch and learn how to create a snap (apparently just a yaml file).

For maintenance purpose, more granular/advanced setup, simplicity, we could split the huge libretime package into multiple packages.

• libretime-playout (playout + liquidsoap)
• libretime-analyzer (analyzer)
• libretime-api (legacy + api + worker (celery))
• libretime (depends on all the packages above)

Maybe we want something even more fine grained ?

It does require more packaging steps for the initial creation, but maintenance will probably be easier.

We could also create packages such as:

• libretime-apache-conf
• libretime-nginx-conf

To provide either a nginx installation or a Apache installation.

I have some error

PHP Fatal error: Declaration of Zend_Rest_Route::assemble($data = Array, $reset = false, $encode = true) must be compatible with Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module::assemble($data = Array, $reset = false, $encode = true, $partial = false) in /srv/airtime/vendor/zendframework/zendframework1/library/Zend/Rest/Route.php on line 52

cannot avoid this error.
can you help?

Fresh Bionic install. Clue at the bottom.

LibreTime packaging is now on hold.

LibreTime is going through a big transformation, and we attempt to catch up with the latest dependencies. This put a lot of maintenance work on the packaging which is not the top priority.

Packaging LibreTime will be reconsidered once the project stabilize itself again.

Original discussion libretime/libretime#1892 (comment)

Everything was installing fine until it told me to go to visit Airtime webroot on my web server. The page to complete settings doesn't work and stays in step 1. Can't generate the configuration files.

Describe the bug
Installing LibreTime via. PPA returns error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-Kun8Kc/30-libretime_3.0.0~alpha.8-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

To Reproduce

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libretime/libretime
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libretime icecast2

LibreTime version:
Latest version, 3.0.8 alpha.

Additional context
Was trying to install in cloud VM at the time, if that's worth anything.

I told it to keep my airtime and LS config and got this: Note missing URL and interrupted message.
The Backend says it is running alpha 5

So I recently installed the Airtime 2.5.1 debian file and I noticed that it had a number of security features that we still don't currently have in LibreTime such as promtping the user to set the icecast password to something other than hackme and setting up SSL.

It also didn't have a install screen after you set it up. I'm thinking it would be easy to avoid this screen if we just wrote the /etc/airtime.conf during install. We could also set the rabbitmq password to something other than default.

I'm wondering if we could do something similar with our debian packages.

Also another question for future security etc would be the idea of setting up a repo on libretime.org so that people could install libretime that way and have it automatically updated to the newest version via apt-get upgrade - how much work is that ?

I would like to help with these things but I don't know whether the ramp up time to learn how to do the debian related package building tasks would be helpful compared with working on other code related tasks I'm already familiar with.

Hey @paddatrapper I saw we have Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial debian packages for the latest alpha.7 release and I was just curious if you were planning one for 18.04 - since it is LTS for 10 years it might be the best option.
