Common issues

The server stopped

Updated

On a Mac

  • Down after a power cut. FileVault is probably on, so the Mac waits at the login screen. Log in, or set up automatic login: see Install on a Mac mini.
  • Stopped at logout. The service runs while its user is logged in. Locking the screen is fine; logging out stops it.
  • Restart it: launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.diune.media-server. Its log is ~/Library/Logs/Diune Media Server/server.log.

On Linux

  • Stops at logout. Lingering is off: sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER.
  • Check and restart: systemctl --user status diune-media-server, then systemctl --user restart diune-media-server. Read the log with journalctl --user -u diune-media-server -f.

After a Node.js upgrade

When Node.js moves to a new major version, run packaging/install.sh again: the server's database module is built for the Node it was installed with. See Update and uninstall.
