Building

Building an ePi server

• Download and burn base Raspbian-Lite OS build
• Clone and build the project
• Create new user epi_service

adduser epi_service --system --group

• Add epi_service to the audio group

sudo usermod -a -G audio epi_service

• Create the relevant directories

sudo mkdir /usr/local/etc/ePi
sudo chown epi_service /usr/local/etc/ePi
sudo mkdir /var/log/ePi
sudo chown epi_service /var/log/ePi
sudo mkdir /srv/ePi
sudo mkdir /srv/ePi/audio
sudo mkdir /srv/ePi/resources
sudo chown -r epi_service /srv/ePi

• Copy the default config.ini file from the files/ directory to /usr/local/etc/ePi
• Copy the episerver and player3 applications from the build directory to /home/epi_service
• Create a soft link to episerver

sudo ln -s /home/epi_service/episerver /usr/local/bin/episerver

• Copy the epi.service to /etc/systemctl/system
• Enable the epi.service to start automatically on boot up

sudo systemctrl enable epi.service
