Using in production
The full installation of liquidsoap will typically install
/etc/liquidsoap
, /etc/init.d/liquidsoap
and
/var/log/liquidsoap
. All these are meant for a particular
usage of liquidsoap when running a stable radio.
Your production .liq
files should go in
/etc/liquidsoap
. You’ll then start/stop them using the
init script, e.g. /etc/init.d/liquidsoap start
.
Your scripts don’t need to have the #!
line, and
liquidsoap will automatically be ran on daemon mode (-d
option) for them.
You should not override the log.file.path
setting
because a logrotate configuration is also installed so that log files
in the standard directory are truncated and compressed if they grow
too big.
It is not very convenient to detect errors when using the init
script. We advise users to check their scripts after modification (use
liquidsoap --check /etc/liquidsoap/script.liq
) before
effectively restarting the daemon.
