icecast2 for Debian ------------------- In relation to the comment below by Jonas Smedegaard and chroot issues, I've modified the debian package so that it will install xsl pages as well as icecast.xml under /usr/share/icecast2, and symlink from there to /etc/icecast2. I've no idea why it would be necessary to symlink admin/ and web/ into /etc/icecast2, but the config file icecast.xml should be there at least as it's a standard location for config files. However the *real* file now lives in /usr/share/icecast2/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml because it must be available to the server when it runs in a jail (chroot) otherwise config reload won't work as /etc/icecast2 would normally be outside the jail. The only issue pending of solution is the resolver within the jail, which will be required mostly for the YP servers name resolution. I'm researching this right now. -- Rama <rama@r23.cc> Sun, 2 Jul 2006 10:24:43 +0200 In the Debian packaging the configuration files have been symlinked from the upstream location below /usr/share to /etc. This is needed to satisfy FHS (/usr/share are for static content only). If running icecast2 in a chroot environment, beware that the symlinks to /etc will break. A possible (untestet!) solution might be to manually put the configuration files back below /usr/share - and revert the hack again before updating the package! -- Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk> Thu, 20 May 2004 21:04:27 +0200 It is recommended to run icecast under a dedicated user account, which only has access to write the log files. The Debian package creates such an account, named 'icecast2', and uses it by default, but you are free to reconfigure it and remove the account. Edit /etc/default/icecast2 to change the init-script configuration. It is possible (but discouraged for security reasons) to bind to a priviledged port (like standard web port 80). Edit /etc/init.d/icecast2 to not change userid and instead set the correct userid and group in /etc/icecast2/icecast2.xml. Beware that this way you rely on the icecast2 binary to properly drop priviledges (instead of the much more thoroughly audited start-stop-daemon). Thanks to Jürgen A. Erhard <jae@jerhard.org> for the tip. -- Keegan Quinn <ice@thebasement.org>
