You also need wt4, that is not packaged yet on Debian. See installation instructions.

git clone https://github.com/epoupon/lms.git lms
cd lms
autoreconf -vfi
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc

configure will report any missing library.

make

make install

This command requires root privileges.

Configuration

LMS uses a configuration file, installed in '/etc/lms.conf'. It is recommended to edit this file and change the relevant settings (working directory, listen port, etc.)

All other settings are set using the web interface.

It is highly recommended to run LMS as a non root user. Therefore make sure the user has write permissions on the working directory.

Reverse proxy settings

You have to set the 'behind-reverse-proxy' option to 'true' in the configuration file.

Here is an example to make LMS properly work on myserver.org using nginx.

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name myserver.org;

    access_log            /var/log/nginx/myserver.access.log;

    proxy_request_buffering off;
    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_buffer_size 4k;

    location / {

      proxy_set_header        Host $host;
      proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

      proxy_pass          http://localhost:5091;
      proxy_read_timeout  120;
    }
}

Running

lms [config_file]

Logs are output in the working directory, in the file 'lms.log'.

To connect to LMS, just open your favorite browser and go to http://localhost:5082
