Problem Description: jvm arg for --default-music-folder aka -Dsubsonic.defaultMusicFolder is not working on Subsonic 6.1.5 but --default-podcast-folder and --default-playlist-folder are working fine. Apart from changing the root user, no other customisations have been made, so this is a vanilla install of subsonic 6.1.5 via the debian package on a fresh Ubuntu.
It retains the default value "/var/music" and does not get overridden via the jvm setting.
Documented in `/usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh --help` as

Code: Select all

  --default-music-folder=DIR    Configure Subsonic to use this folder for music.  This option
                                only has effect the first time Subsonic is started. Default '/var/music'
  --default-podcast-folder=DIR  Configure Subsonic to use this folder for Podcasts.  This option
                                only has effect the first time Subsonic is started. Default '/var/music/Podcast'
  --default-playlist-folder=DIR Configure Subsonic to use this folder for playlist imports.  This option
                                only has effect the first time Subsonic is started. Default '/var/playlists'

Troubleshooting Steps:

• `cat /etc/default/subsonic` looks fine
  

  Code: Select all

  SUBSONIC_ARGS="--max-memory=150 --default-music-folder=/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox --default-podcast-folder=/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox --default-playlist-folder=/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox"

• `systemctl status subsonic` shows
  

  Code: Select all

  `java -Xmx150m -Dsubsonic.home=/var/subsonic -Dsubsonic.host=0.0.0.0 -Dsubsonic.port=4040 -Dsubsonic.httpsPort=0 -Dsubsonic.contextPath=/ -Dsubsonic.db= -Dsubsonic.defaultMusicFolder=/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox -Dsubsonic.defaultPodcastFolder=/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox -Dsubsonic.defaultPlaylistFolder=/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox -Djava.awt.headless=true -verbose:gc -jar subsonic-booter-jar-with-dependencies.jar`

• `tail -n2000 -f /var/subsonic/subsonic.log` looks fine
• `tail -f /var/subsonic/subsonic_sh.log` looks fine
• Analyse GUI...
  - Navigate to Podcast, Save Podcasts in = “/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox”
  - Navigate to General, Import playlists from = “/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox”
  - Navigate to Media Folders,
  -- ACTUAL: Name “Music” = “/var/music”
  -- EXPECTED: Name “Music” = “/var/vcap/store/home/jumpbox”

After tearing down the entire set up, and rebuilding its fine now. My set up is automated so there was little room for manual error on my side, so I'm a bit baffled. Anyway it works now, so happy days..
