An Ansible role that installs MPD (Music Player Daemon) on Fedora.

The UnitedRPMs or rpmfusion-free repository has to be installed before running this role.

For configuring the firewall the service firewalld has to run and the package python-firewall needs to be installed.

Available variables are listed below, along with default values:

mpd_outputs:
  - name: "Null Output"
    type: "null"

mpd_name: Music Player Daemon
mpd_restore_paused: yes
mpd_auto_update: yes
mpd_follow_inside_symlinks: yes
mpd_follow_outside_symlinks: no

mpd_music_directory: /var/lib/mpd/music
mpd_playlist_directory: /var/lib/mpd/playlists

mpd_db_file: /var/lib/mpd/mpd.db
mpd_sticker_file: /var/lib/mpd/sticker.db
mpd_state_file: /var/lib/mpd/mpdstate

mpd_user: mpd
mpd_autostart: false

mpd_bind_to_address: any
mpd_firewall_zones: []

The outputs for MPD can be configured with the variable mpd_outputs. The properties of an output are written as is into the configuration file. See Configuring audio outputs and Output plugins for more details.

There are some variables to configure the behaviour of MPD like mpd_auto_update, mpd_name and more, see above for a complete list.

If you want to store your music and playlists in directories other than the default ones, change the variables mpd_music_directory and mpd_playlist_directory accordingly. Those directories won't be created, so make sure they exist and have correct permissions set.

With the variables mpd_db_file, mpd_sticker_file and mpd_state_file the paths to those files can be changed.

The variable mpd_user can be used to change the user which runs MPD. The group will also be set to this value.

Usually MPD will be activated using a systemd socket, so that it doesn't have to run permanetly. You can set mpd_autostart to yes to always start MPD on boot.

If you want that MPD only binds to a single interface, you can set that in the variable mpd_bind_to_address.

The variable mpd_firewall_zones can be used to declare firewall zones in which kodi should be accessible. This means the port 6600/tcp will be opened.

Currently only firewalld is supported which is default on Fedora.
