-====== Debian Installation Guide ======
+<note important>This guide assumes you have installed Debian 8 (Jessie) and need a new Serviio install.</note>
-==== Prerequisites ====
+<note warning>The new Serviio 1.9 requires Java 8.  The old Serviio 1.4 required Java 7</note>
-To ensure flawless operation of Serviio, additional codecs and libraries must be installed not available in current Debian distribution. The packages containing the additional codecs and libraries can be installed from [[http://deb-multimedia.org]].
-For instructions how to install packages from [[http://deb-multimedia.org]] follow the the next steps.
+Update:  If you are interested in installing the newest version than go to http://serviio.org/download to see which is the newest version at the time.  As of Nov 27, 2017 the newest version is Serviio 1.9
-=== 1. Install missing codecs ===
+Debian 8 (Jessie) adds back ffmpeg, so there is no need for an extra PPA. Install required software if not already installed:
+<code>sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
+sudo apt-get install dcraw
+</code>
-== 1.1 Preparation ==
+Install Java 8. You can tell which, if any, versions are installed via:
+<code>dpkg --get-selections | grep jre
+</code>
-Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.list and add one of the following lines according to your distribution:
+You may see openjdk-7-jre. If you see both openjdk-7-jre and openjdk-8-jre, check which is the default version via:
+<code>java -version
+</code>
-**testing**
+If openjdk-8-jre is installed and "java -version" yields "1.9.0_xx", you are done. If Java is not installed or only Java 7, run:
-<code>deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free</code>
+<code>sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
-or
+</code>
-<code>deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free</code>
-**unstable**
-<code>deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org unstablemain non-free</code>
-or
-<code>deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org unstablemain non-free</code>
-Next update your list of packages
+If you get an error like this:
+<code>
+The following packages have unmet dependencies:
+ openjdk-8-jre-headless : Depends: ca-certificates-java but it is not going to be installed
+E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
+</code>
-<code>apt-get update</code>
+do not despair, this command will help you:
+<code>
+apt install -t jessie-backports  openjdk-8-jre-headless ca-certificates-java
+</code>
-and in first place install the deb-multimedia-keyring
+After that, try run the previous command again.
-<code>apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring</code>
+If both Java 7 and 8 are installed, you may have to adjust the default via update-java-alternatives or edit scripts to specify the full path, e.g., /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java.
-== 1.2 Install ffmpeg ==
+There are various ways to install Serviio, but this installs it in /opt and runs it as user serviio. The useradd option -r creates a system account and does not create a home directory. This will result in warnings in serviio.log, but there seems to be no ill effect. The first line logs in as root to make a few things easier:
-<code>sudo apt-get install ffmpeg</code>
+<code>sudo -H bash
+useradd -r -s /bin/false serviio
+mkdir -p /opt
+cd /opt
+wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.9-linux.tar.gz
+tar zxvf serviio-1.9-linux.tar.gz
+rm serviio-1.9-linux.tar.gz
+ln -s serviio-1.9 serviio
+chown -R root:root serviio-1.9
+cd serviio-1.9
+mkdir log
+chown -R serviio:serviio library log
+</code>
+Use your favorite text editor and create /lib/systemd/system/serviio.service with:
+<code>
+[Unit]
+Description=Serviio Media Server
+After=syslog.target local-fs.target network.target
-=== 2. Install Serviio  ===
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=serviio
+Group=serviio
+ExecStart=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh
+ExecStop=/opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh -stop
+KillMode=none
+Restart=on-abort
-== 2.1 Download Serviio Debian package ==
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+</code>
-Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.i-matrixx.list and the following line
+Lastly, start serviio and have it run automatically at boot via:
+<code>
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable serviio
+systemctl start serviio
+</code>
-<code>deb http://debian.i-matrixx.de debian main</code>
+Now, launch the configuration console by typing the following into the Terminal
+<code>
+sudo /opt/serviio-1.9/bin/serviio-console.sh
+</code>
-and add the APT key with the following command
-<code>wget -O - http://debian.i-matrixx.de/52CE883E.asc | sudo apt-key add -</code>
-== 2.2 Download source package and build package yourself ==
-== 2.3 Manual installation from [[http://www.serviio.org/download]] ==
