Import and Playlist Daemon

Tank implements an AURA import and playlist daemon.

Quickstart

To install tank, use the go get command:

$ go get gitlab.servus.at/autoradio/tank/...

Create configuration file see: https://gitlab.servus.at/autoradio/tank/blob/master/contrib/sample-cfg.yaml

Make sure that the directory pointed to by store.path exists and is writeable for the user running the daemon

And then run the tank binary:

$ $GOPATH/bin/tank --config config.yaml run --listen localhost:8040

Problem with some versions of MariaDB

If you start tank for the first time using MariaDB you may get the following error message:

running database migrations failed: Error 1071: Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

This most likely means you are using an older version of MariaDB with the default character-set set to utf8mb4. Please read contrib/mariadb-stretch-err1071.md for help.

If you encouter this problem on any other platform please let us know!

Development

Check out the repository and build the daemon:

$ git clone gitlab.servus.at/autoradio/tank
$ cd tank
$ make

You may run the daemon using the following command:

$ ./contrib/run.sh

This is using contrib/sample-cfg.yaml and depends on a mysql or postgres server running on localhost. You may use the scripts inside contrib/ to start docker containers for this purpose.

mysql

$ ./contrib/mysql/run_server.sh

Wait for the server to boot up and then initialize the database using a second terminal:

$ ./contrib/mysql/run_client.sh
mysql> source init.sql

This command can also be used to empty the database if you want to start with a new one. After the daemon has ran the initial migrations you may check out the schema of the database:

mysql> source info.sql

Once you are done with the database you can stop the server using:

$ ./contrib/mysql/stop_server.sh

postgres

$ ./contrib/postgres/run_server.sh

Wait for the server to boot up and then initialize the database using a second terminal:

$ ./contrib/postgres/run_client.sh
$$$ psql < init.sql

This command can also be used to empty the database if you want to start with a new one. After the daemon has ran the initial migrations you may check out the schema of the database:

$$$ psql < info.sql

Once you are done with the database you can stop the server by pressing CTRL-C inside the terminal of the server.
