| # Debian Packaging | ||
|
mcfnord marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated
|
||
|
|
||
| `linux/deploy_deb.sh` (run from the repository root) uses this directory to build two packages with `debuild`: | ||
|
|
||
| - **jamulus** — the desktop client/server (built with `CONFIG+=noupcasename`, which renames the target from `Jamulus` to `jamulus`). | ||
| - **jamulus-headless** — a server-only binary (`CONFIG+=headless serveronly` with `TARGET=jamulus-headless`, so `noupcasename` is not needed) with no GUI library dependencies, plus a systemd service. | ||
|
|
||
| Most files here are standard Debian packaging (`control`, `rules`, `copyright`, `*.install`, …). `changelog` is regenerated at build time from the top-level `ChangeLog` — don't edit it by hand. | ||
|
|
||
| ## jamulus-headless.service | ||
|
|
||
| Installed to `lib/systemd/system` by the headless package. It runs `/usr/bin/jamulus-headless -s -n` as the unprivileged `jamulus` system user (created in `jamulus-headless.postinst`), restarts on failure, and raises CPU and I/O scheduling priority for real-time audio. | ||
|
|
||
| Start it with `sudo systemctl enable --now jamulus-headless`. To name, publish or otherwise configure the server, adjust the `ExecStart=` options — see https://jamulus.io/wiki/Running-a-Server#server-mode-related-options. | ||
