✨ squeezelite.service ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the squeezelite.service(7) page — it's from the Miscellaneous Information Manual section of the man pages, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little units you'll ever meet. 💖

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

squeezelite.service — systemd units for Squeezelite, aka the little files that make your music player show up on time, every time. no cap.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This thing does exactly one job and it does it iconically: it automatically starts the Squeezelite music streaming client every single time a user logs in, or every single time the system boots. pick your lane, bestie, both are valid. 🦋

---

💅 EXAMPLES 💅

run it with your user desktop session

want squeezelite to come up with your desktop session? say less:

systemctl --user enable squeezelite
systemctl --user start squeezelite

configure it for your user desktop session

if you wanna change stuff, you edit the command line options that get passed to it:

systemctl --user edit --full squeezelite

start it at system boot

want it up before anyone even logs in? main character energy:

systemctl enable squeezelite
systemctl start squeezelite

configure the system-boot one

to configure the squeezelite that starts at system boot, go edit this file:

/etc/sysconfig/squeezelite

ngl, if you're running outside of a user session, you'll probably need to tell it which ALSA output device to use, via squeezelite's -o option. you don't get to skip this one. 🙈

and to get a list of the available devices, just run:

squeezelite -l
