Writing JSON config files by hand is tedious and leads to errors. mStream comes with a command line tools to manage your config file.

Init

Use the --init flag to generate a json file or reset the file to an empty state

mstream --init config.json

Add a folder

mstream -j config.json --addpath /path/to/music

Add a user

You need to add a folder before adding users

mstream -j config.json --adduser

Change Port

mstream -j config.json --editport

Generate Secret

The secret is used to sign all JSON Web Tokens. If you don't have a secret, a random one will be generated on server boot and all previous JWTs will be invalidated. Having a secret in the config will keep JWTs valid between server reboots

mstream -j config.json --makesecret

Add SSL Key

mstream -j config.json --addkey /path/to/key

Add SSL Cert

mstream -j config.json --addcert /path/to/cert

Delete User

mstream -j config.json --removeuser
