supysonic-server command not available

[jimToo]

Hi,
I tried to setup supysonic on a debian (stable) server:

after install:
$ apt install supysonic gunicorn3

I cannot start the webserver:
"supysonic-server" command not found.

$ whereis supysonic-server
is empty...
"supysonic-cli" is working.

supysonic debian package in stable is "0.6.2"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for some hints!

Hello.
The supysonic-server command was added in version 0.7.0. You have several options to run Supysonic. If you want the to get the latest release (0.7.2) you can install pip with apt (the package is python3-pip) and then install Supysonic from pip:

# apt install python3-pip
# pip install supysonic

I don't know how pip behaves in that case but this might mess up your Python installation and mix libraries installed from Debian packages and from PyPI. So I wouldn't recommend installing Supysonic directly as described above without setting up a virtual environment beforehand.

Or, if you want to keep the Supysonic version provided by the debian repository, since you already installed Gunicorn you can run a Supysonic server by invoking Gunicorn:

$ gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:5000 "supysonic.web:create_application()"

This will listen on all interfaces on port 5000. You've got a few more details in the documentation.

I have no control over which version is published in the Debian packages, and I don't really know how this whole process works. But if I'm not mistaken the 0.7.2 is available for bookworm (Debian testing).

Hope this helps.

Thanks Alban, for fast response.

Starting standalone gunicorn "supysonic.web:create_application()" it says:
"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'supysonic'"

I will try to use the debian package from "testing". This makes it a lot more easier.

Greetings Jim
