A guide & script to create multiple instances of Mopidy and integrate it with Snapcast

mopidy_multiple-instances's Issues

Issue with the script

First issue that came up when running the script:
multiple_mopidy.sh: line 3: test: -eq: unary operator expected

What do you think is wrong? Looks like something wrong with the test function.

Another issue with test inside the script

Line 28 has an issue
if test $host -ne ""
result:
multiple_mopidy.sh: line 28: test: -ne: unary operator expected

2nd argument doesn't work

I receive this issue when executing without a 2nd argument (localhost hostname)
bashtest.sh: line 3: test: -eq: unary operator expected

Mopid-Iris

When using Mopidy-Iris to control Modipy then the Iris scripts to start local scan and restart server fails.

A simple solution is to edit the file /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/mopidy_iris/system.sh

The restart lines are these two:

RESTART="$(sudo service mopidy restart)"
echo -e "${RESTART}"

Change it to:

RESTART="$(sudo service mopidy_1 restart)"
echo -e "${RESTART}"
RESTART="$(sudo service mopidy_<n> restart)"
echo -e "${RESTART}"

And the start local scan is this lines:
SCAN=$(sudo mopidyctl local scan)

Change that to these:

SCAN=$(sudo mopidyctl_1 local scan)
SCAN=$(sudo mopidyctl_2 local scan)

Without this the start local scan will run on the original mopidy folders and not the extra instances and the restart will start the local mopidy and keep the extra instances running without a restart.
The downside to this quick fix is that there is no specific instance control.
A click on the restart button will restart all the instances and a click on the start local scan button will scan the media folder once for each instance. Especially the local scan might take some time with large media libraries and/or many instances.

Error when running

When I ran the script this happened:
chown: cannot access '/var/cache/mopidy_4': No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Missing directory

Found this when running the code
Executing Step 4 cat: /etc/mopidy.conf: No such file or directory
