Ubuntu Server Installation Guide

Based on bigfatostrich's Howto and Forum members contributions

Prerequisites

  • Java
    apt-get install default-jre
  • FFmpeg
    apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53
  • dcraw for digital pictures
    apt-get install dcraw

1.Download Serviio

Always check what the latest version is on the website, it is currently 1.2.1 and update accordingly
Here is link to serviio.org download page.
http://www.serviio.org/download

wget http://download.serviio.org/releases/serviio-1.2.1-linux.tar.gz

2.Extract Serviio

tar xvf serviio-1.2.1-linux.tar.gz

3.Ubuntu Server Startup Script (credit to forum member jonolafur)

Create and save the following script in the directory /etc/init/ and call it serviio.conf

start on started networking
script
   /<path-to-serviio>/serviio.sh
end script

and replace <path-to-serviio> with the actual path to your serviio installation.

If any problems should arise with the system locales, a specific locale can be added to the script right before the path to serviio.

start on started networking
script
   LANG=da_DK.utf8 /<path-to-serviio>/serviio.sh
end script

The system specific locale can be found using the following command.

locale -a

This should yeild a list like this.

$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
da_DK.utf8
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8

Replace “LANG=da_DK.UTF8” in the script with the desired locale.

The upstart system now starts the serviio server as soon as all networking jobs have been started:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

If you need it to start earlier or later, please check the excellent documentation on upstart for example here:

Upstart Cookbook

You can now get a list of all jobs registered with upstart by issuing:

initctl list

and you should get something like:

serviio start/running, process 1009

if it is already running, otherwise it says:

serviio stop/waiting

You can start and stop the job via:

sudo start serviio

and

sudo stop serviio

4.Enabling Remote Console Access From Windows (credit to forum member tvkdlna)

Create a firewall rule to allow TCP data on port 23423 on both the client and server

Edit C:\Program Files\Serviio\bin\ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions adding:

-Dserviio.remoteHost=XXX.XXX.X.XXX

Replacing XXX.XXX.X.XXX with the IP Address of the remote server
