How to enable SSL?

[reticent]

Might be a silly question, but how do you enable SSl on subsonic. I'm running the newest version but the option to turn it on is fairly non apparent (Unless I'm blind). I've done a search here and looked on your wiki, can someone help me out?

reticent,

I answered your question yesterday underneath dotpyfe's thread "replace SSL cert (Ubuntu)", but I'll paste it in here as well so there's a separate thread for it:


--------------------
The HTTPS setting is in the shell script that starts up Subsonic: subsonic.sh

The 3rd and 4th lines in the main config section are the two to look for, the ones that go:

SUBSONIC_PORT=4040
SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT=0

A "0" = disabled. So to enable HTTPS, just change the SUBSONIC_PORT value to 0, and change the SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT to whatever you'd like, typically 443 or 8443.

All there is to it, just be sure that whatever port you choose (443, 8443, etc.) is opened up on both the server itself (ie, iptables) and your router (if desiring external access).

Hope this helps, and cheers,
Supra92

Oh, didn't see that. Thanks, works like a charm

Where is the subsonic.sh file located on a default install on Ubuntu? I used the .WAR file to install.

Thanks

Hmm, thanks.

This is what I see:

Code: Select all

#
# This is the configuration file for the Subsonic service
# (/etc/init.d/subsonic)
#
# To change the startup parameters of Subsonic, modify
# the SUBSONIC_ARGS variable below.
#
# Type "subsonic --help" on the command line to read an
# explanation of the different options.
#
# For example, to specify that Subsonic should use port 7070
# and use a Java memory heap size of 80 MB, use the following:
#
# SUBSONIC_ARGS="--port=7070 --max-memory=80"

I don't see a subsonic.sh file but there is a file called subsonic which the code is posted above. Is this the right file for adding the https port?

Usage: subsonic.sh [options]
  --help               This small usage guide.
  --home=DIR           The directory where Subsonic will create files.
                       Make sure it is writable. Default: /var/subsonic
  --host=HOST          The host name or IP address on which to bind Subsonic.
                       Only relevant if you have multiple network interfaces and want
                       to make Subsonic available on only one of them. The default value
                       will bind Subsonic to all available network interfaces. Default: 0.0.0.0
  --port=PORT          The port on which Subsonic will listen for
                       incoming HTTP traffic. Default: 4040
  --https-port=PORT    The port on which Subsonic will listen for
                       incoming HTTPS traffic. Default: 0 (disabled)
  --context-path=PATH  The context path, i.e., the last part of the Subsonic
                       URL. Typically '/' or '/subsonic'. Default '/'
  --max-memory=MB      The memory limit (max Java heap size) in megabytes.
                       Default: 100
  --pidfile=PIDFILE    Write PID to this file. Default not created.
  --quiet              Don't print anything to standard out. Default false.
  --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 playlists.  This option
                                only has effect the first time Subsonic is started.

Odd question....what if /usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh doesn't exist on my box? I have a /usr/share/subsonic/subsonic.sh.swp file though.

In Debian / Ubuntu the file is located:

Code: Select all

/etc/default/subsonic

In Red Hat / Fedora the file is located:

Code: Select all

/etc/sysconfig/subsonic

You need to remove the # to enable the option and add the --https-port argument.
# SUBSONIC_ARGS="--port=7070 --https-port=443 --max-memory=80"

It should look at follows and don't forget to restart subsonic or may be better restart your computer.

Code: Select all

This is my config.. I use only SSL:

Code: Select all

SUBSONIC_ARGS="--https-port=443 --max-memory=400"

File with extension "war" also found in deb, standalone and war package. What is your installation? What is your server: Jetty, Tomcat or other? What ... ? If you like help post some word about your SS installation... You post only: Ubuntu and WAR...
