A few thoughts on SongKong

#1

Thought I’d share a few thoughts on my use of SongKong so far. Not sure how to categorize things but both feel like feature requests.

  1. On my Synology nas and running remote the app writes a lot of data to /root/.songkong. This filled up the / filesystem on my nas. I sym-linked this directory to a place on the data volume and worked around it. Not sure if this is the best approach or if there is a config file I could have tweaked but it did resolve the issue. The data files are ~1.4gb for my content - the entire / filesystem is only 2gb so :wink:
  2. The songkongremote.sh script, imo, should print a message about the http endpoint. I had to fumble around with the mac version on my laptop, tell it to enter remote mode which popped up a browser. I just changed the address to my nas and it worked fine from there. If the url is printed a command+click in iterm would magically take me to my browser

So far this looks like a pretty neat app - likely going to get the premium license and give it a run on my nas. Its busy making recommendations/change log while I write this!

Hi, it can get large, the Database subfolder consists of

  • Relational Database
  • Cache

These can be emptied using the Delete Database option, see here for more details

The Reports subfolder contains the reports created for each task, these can be deleted, see here for details.

There is no inbuilt way to move the location of these, but using a symbolic link on linux is the correct method.

So most of the information added to Database and Cache is only required durring the running of the task so maybe it would make sense for me to automatically clear most of it after task completion ?

And maybe I should have seperate option for Delete Database and Delete Cache, currently both are deleted with the Delete Database option, what do you think?

Okay i have raised an issue https://jthink.atlassian.net/browse/SONGKONG-2690
