This directory contains a bunch of stuff for my home server.

The server has the following primary goals:

* media server
* home automation and security
* hardware/system monitoring and alerting


Personal information and configuration are kept in a separate, private
repository. This contains everything that could potentially be reused
by others who would like to set up a similar system.


INSTALLING SERVICES
===================

Four services exist:

  alexa -- an Alexa Home Auto Skill that interacts with my system
  ripserver -- a job queue for media copying and ripping
  bridge -- move MQTT readings into an InfluxDB database
  mediamgmt -- handles filing of videos into Plex libraries
  talky -- webapp to talk to Alexa from a web page

To install these, and enable it for operation (example):

$ sudo systemctl enable PATH-TO/homesvr/ripserver/ripserver.service
$ sudo systemctl start ripserver

Double-check the configuration and proper operation:

$ systemctl status ripserver

Review logs:

$ journalctl -e -u ripserver

[ of course, s/ripserver/alexa/ or whatever ]


CONFIGURING UDEV
================

To call ripserver to copy/rip a disk when it is inserted, create
/etc/udev/rules.d/FOO.rules with something like:

#
# Automount the disk, then copy/rip it.
#
