For a detailed documentation please see the README file which is distrib- uted with Gerbera or visit https://gerbera.io. OPTIONS -i, --ip The server will bind to the given IP address, currently we can not bind to multiple interfaces so binding to 0.0.0.0 will not be possible. -e, --interface The server will bind to the given network interface, currently we can only bind to one interface at a time. -p, --port Specify the server port that will be used for the web user in- terface, for serving media and for UPnP requests, minimum al- lowed value is 49152. If this option is omitted a default port will be chosen, however, in this case it is possible that the port will change upon server restart. -u, --user Drop privs to user on startup. Make sure all mediafiles are readable by this user. Also make sure that home directory is writable for this user. -c, --config By default Gerbera will search for a file named "config.xml" in the ~/.config/gerbera directory. This option allows you to specify a config file by the name and location of your choice. The file name must be absolute. -m, --home Specify an alternative home directory. By default Gerbera will try to retrieve the users home directory from the environment (HOME), then it will look for the .config/gerbera directory in users home. If .config/gerbera was found we will try to find the default configuration file (config.xml). This option is useful in two cases: when the home directory can- not be retrieved from the environment (in this case you could also use -c to point Gerbera to your configuration file) or when you want to test a new configuration in a non standard location (for example, when setting up daemon mode). In the latter case you can combine this parameter with the parameter described in "Config Directory" -f, --cfgdir The default configuration directory is combined by the users home and the default that equals to .config/gerbera, this option allows you to override the default directory naming. This is useful when you want to set up the server in a nonstandard loca- tion. -f, --magic The magic file is set/overwritten. By default it is read from environment variables GERBERA_MAGIC_FILE or MEDIATOMB_MAG- IC_FILE. --add-file Add the specified file name to the database without UI interac- tion. The path must be absolute, if path is a directory then it will be added recursively. If path is a file, then only the giv- en file will be imported. --print-options Print all option numbers available for use with --set-option. --set-option Set the specified option number to its proper value like in con- fig.xml. This overwrites values from config.xml. See --print-op- tions for valid options. Multiple options can either be speci- fied sperated by commas or with another use of --set-option. -l, --logfile Do not output log messages to stdout, but redirect everything to a specified file. -l, --rotatelog Do not output log messages to stdout, but redirect everything to a specified rotating file. It will rotate 10 files at 5MB. -l, --syslog Do not output log messages to stdout, but redirect everything to syslog. The optional argument contains the syslog facility. If no argument is given LOG_USER is used. -D, --debug Enable debug log output. -d, --daemon Daemonize after startup. --compile-info Print the compilation configuration (defaults for used libraries and enabled features) and exit. --create-config=Section --create-example-config=Section Output the default/example con- figuration to stdout and exit. Copy the output to your con- fig.xml and adjust to your needs. You can provide the names of sections separated by | to get the section only. --check-config Check the current configuration before running the service and exit. Helpful in conjunction with --debug. --offline Do not answer UPnP requests like browse. This is helpful when running a large scan to initialize the database so no client can slow down the import by accessing the database. --version Print version information and exit. -h, --help Print a summary about the available command line options. 2021-11-04 gerbera(1)
