Overriding MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT?

[eriqjaffe]

I run two separate instances of MPD and myMPD. With v7 I could set the host (each MPD instance uses a separate socket) and port in the appropriate .conf files. How do I do that in v8?

You should start each instance with a different workdir and http/ssl Port and change the mpd instance in the webgui. At first startup the environment MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT is respected.

This should work, refer to the documentation for all options.

export MPD_HOST=/run/mpd1/socket
export MYMPD_HTTP_PORT=8000
export MYMPD_SSL=false
mympd -w /var/lib/mympd1

I will add this scenario to the documentation.

Thanks, that got it - Additionally I was able to get both instances running as services by copying /usr/lib/systemd/system/mympd.service to mympd1.service, adding the appropriate workdir option to ExecStart and then enabling/starting the mympd1 service.
