Sockso Server Community
As of version 1.3 Sockso provides a way to make your Sockso server a part
of the larger community of Sockso servers people are running. This is an opt-in
feature and is not enabled by default.
The Goal
The purpose of this new functionality is to try and unite the disparate Sockso
servers that people have running, and allow people to browse and listen to
new music as easily as possible.
Sockso started as just a dedicated server
for personal use, for just one person, but hopefully
if the community takes off people will have a more connected experience.
What it Does
The main visible change is the new Community
page on the Sockso website. This page lists Sockso servers that have
chosen to be a part of the community. This page is live, so will only list
currently running servers should they go up or down.
How to Get Involved
If you'd like your server to become a part of the community just go to
the General tab in your Sockso GUI and click the checkbox at the
top of the page. As long as your server is publicly accessible you should
then shortly start showing up on the website for people to discover.
If you're running without a GUI then this can also be set from the console.
$> propset community.enabled yes
Troubleshooting
If you've tried to opt-in to the community and your server isn't getting listed
on the website then check that your setup is correct, and that the server is
available from the internet (if it's not it won't get listed). If it is and
you're still having problems try posting in the forum for help.
Beware of...
As with Sockso use in general, the music you make available is up to you, so
check you have the right permission to do so before you put it on the internet.
If you love using Sockso and would like to give a little back,
try a donation to help out and support open source development.
