Rdio Scanner from Github

Sometimes you don't want to run a Docker image, so you can follow these instructions to clone the Rdio Scanner GitHub repository.

1. Prerequisites

Make sure your operating system is fully updated and that the prerequisites are installed. Also make sure that you have enough memory to compile the Angular web application.

curl
ffmpeg
git
Node.js LTS or higher (get it here if your distro doesn't have the required package)
npm
openssl
python (python is required to compile sqlite node package)
SQLite 3

$ which curl ffmpeg gcc g++ git make node npm python sqlite3
/usr/bin/curl
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/g++
/usr/bin/git

3. Start Rdio Scanner

$ node run server
Server is running at http://0.0.0.0:3000

You can also configure systemd to start the server, see the file docs/examples/rdio-scanner/rdio-scanner.service for an example.

4. Configure Rdio Scanner

Read the this document docs/config.md.

5. Update Rdio Scanner

If new commits have been pushed to the Rdio Scanner GitHub repository, you can easily update like this:

$ node update
Pulling new version from github... done
Updating node modules... done
Building client app... done
Please restart Rdio Scanner

6. Resetting the administrator password

Besides resetting the administrator password from the administrative dashboard, you can also reset the administrator password from the command line.

$ node server reset-admin-password newpassword
Admin password has been reset.

If you do not specify a password after the reset-admin-password command, the default password will be configured, which is rdio-scanner.

7. Finally

Remember that Rdio Scanner must be supplied with audio files from a recorder. Either you use a dirWatch to monitor a folder, or you use the API with an upload script. See the examples folder for some examples.
