This manual page describes the command line parameters for
Gerbera. For a detailed documentation please see the README file which is
distributed with Gerbera or visit https://gerbera.io.
- -i, --ip
- The server will bind to the given IP address, currently we can not bind to
multiple interfaces so binding to 0.0.0.0 will not be possible.
- -e,
--interface
- The server will bind to the given network interface, currently we can only
bind to one interface at a time.
- -p, --port
- Specify the server port that will be used for the web user interface, for
serving media and for UPnP requests, minimum allowed value is 49152. If
this option is omitted a default port will be chosen, however, in this
case it is possible that the port will change upon server restart.
- -c, --config
- By default Gerbera will search for a file named "config.xml" in
the ~/.config/gerbera directory. This option allows you to specify a
config file by the name and location of your choice. The file name must be
absolute.
- -m, --home
- Specify an alternative home directory. By default Gerbera will try to
retrieve the users home directory from the environment, then it will look
for a .gerbera directory in users home. If .gerbera was found we will try
to find the default configuration file (config.xml), if not found we will
create both, the .Gerbera directory and the default config file.
This option is useful in two cases: when the home directory
can not be retrieved from the environment (in this case you could also
use -c to point Gerbera to your configuration file or when you want to
create a new configuration in a non standard location (for example, when
setting up daemon mode). In the latter case you can combine this
parameter with the parameter described in Section 5.6, "Config
Directory"
- -f, --cfgdir
- The default configuration directory is combined out of the users home and
the default that equals to .gerbera, this option allows you to override
the default directory naming. This is useful when you want to setup the
server in a nonstandard location, but want that the default configuration
to be written by the server.
- -P, --pidfile
- Specify a file that will hold the server process ID, the filename must be
absolute.
- -a, --add
- Add the specified directory or file name to the database without UI
interaction. The path must be absolute, if path is a directory then it
will be added recursively. If path is a file, then only the given file
will be imported.
- -l, --logfile
- Do not output log messages to stdout, but redirect everything to a
specified file.
- -D, --debug
- Enable debug log output.
- --compile-info
- Print the configuration summary (used libraried and enabled features) and
exit.
- --version
- Print version information and exit.
- -h, --help
- Print a summary about the available command line options.
