Watchdog

When watching large amount of files you should increase max_user_watches if you encounter this error: "UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached"

In your docker host run:

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p

then check with

cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

If watching a network mount you should enable polling.

running with args

you can use a custom config.json:

node server -c /path/to/my/configfoldercontainingconfigjson/

or launch with arguments:

node server -w http://192.168.1.12/MyWebServerHostingFiles -d '/data/MyWebServerDirectory' -p 3001  -t mycustomtoken

running with docker image

in docker you have to provide a music folder and a config folder:

docker run --name juke-restainer -p 3000:3000 -v /host/Music:/music -v /hostConfigFilePath:/config maxill1/juke-restainer:latest
