Snakeoil 1.4.1 (High End U1)

[hkphantomgtr]

Server Down?
Something looks wrong with the server hosting the apt repository. Look like it's dead. You probably can't get the Snakeoil 1.4.1 until this is resolved. First time this happened with my host provider.

Will update as I can but unlikely to be resolved anything soon.
Looks like it's fixed now. Hopefully.


Introduction
Alright. A lot of changes since 1.4.0 was out (Just over 2 months ago?). New CMS software (Drupal), porting of contents over to Drupal, new IPS (CrowdSec). Lots of changes and updates. Frankly I'm flat out trying to catch up on the things that need to be done but I just don't have the time to do so before. It's been like this for me the past 2+ years - playing catch up. It is what it is...
 

Also - if people aren't aware I am left leaning politically. As such I really hate what X (Twitter) and FaceBook have become. This is mainly why I seldom post in FaceBook and never on X. I have just created an account over at BlueSky and hopefully I can keep that going. If you click on "Home" (top right) of this forums you will see the social buttons (Butterfly). Follow me over there if you have a BlueSky account. And if you are on YouTube, might as well follow me on that. While I am also feeling negative about Google - I gotta generate revenues to keep the infrastructure going.


Highlights
Several new highlights in this update:

1. Yet Another New Install method.
   Supposed to be introduced in 1.4.0 but just could not finish in time. Moving forward Snakeoil is now installed via the apt package manager. See the next section for details.
   
2. Tons of changes under the hood.
   Lots and lots of changes under the hood. The API backend is effectively completely re-written...
   
   E.g. you can see the snakeoil logs now in the System page. Hopefully this will give you some more insight when things are not working right. Note the default log level is only NOTICE, you will need to increase the verbosity levels for troubleshooting. There is no documentation on this just yet - it will come soon.
   

This should be one of the best releases yet. 


How To Install
SSH to your machine, and run this command:
 

Code:

wget -qLO - \
  https://install.snakeoil-os.net | sudo sh

Above will download a script and execute everything that's required to install Snakeoil OS. You have the chance to cancel installation via a 10 second delay. Computer will automatically reboot after installation. You only need to run this install script once.

Next time to update Snakeoil you simply go to the "System" page and click the "Update OS" button and future versions of Snakeoil will be installed as part of your OS update (official releases only).

Thanks for all your hard work AK!

Just updated to 1.4.1 (High End U1) on my Pi5. A few issues stood out for me:

1. Reboot on Webapp still doesnt work. 
2. Sample rate on Music player still not showing. 
3. LMS still not starting for me on boot up. Unable to start LMS on the Music tab on Webapp, even with saving. Have to SSH into Pi5 & run: systemctl start lyrionmusicserver for it to start.

Hey, alex87, I can't update to 1.4.1.  It's still alpha after running the update command.
