Enabling https for Subsonic?

I am also looking for this one, and found the place to post it, but unfortunately could not get it to work..

In
/c/webroot/subsonic

edit
vi subsonic.sh

Change
-Dsubsonic.port=${SUBSONIC_PORT} \
to
-Dsubsonic.httpsPort=${SUBSONIC_PORT} \

run
/etc/frontview/addons/bin/SUBSONIC/stop.sh
/etc/frontview/addons/bin/SUBSONIC/start.sh

HTTPS seems to work just fine on the 4040 port, however i get following error:

HTTP ERROR: 404
NOT_FOUND
RequestURI=/login.view
Powered by jetty://

I have not investigated any further.. but there seems to be something missing still.....

Any news regarding this?

Do as Fred writes (almost):

fdullemond wrote:

In this file just change the line which says

SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT=0

to

SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT=4043

Then continue as Fred writes:

If you now try to access Subsonic with http on the standard port 4040 it will automatically redirect you to https on port 4043 (or whatever you choose).

I am running Subsonic 4.5.beta1 (build 2285).

Hi Bent,

How the heck I could have missed this !!!

Works perfectly, hopes https is also supported by the android client....

Thanks,

Fred

Im trying to enable HTTPS aswell. I don't have root-access to my Ultra 2, do I need to have it?
I can edit subsonic.sh as described in the thread, but since I lack root I'm not able to run stop.sh and start.sh.
I tried editing the subsonic.sh and then just restarting Subsonic in the Frontview UI. But after stoping the service I couldn't start it again.
Not even after editing the file back to normal. Must be a permissions thing I guess.
So, any tips on achieving this without root access?

After I change the destination address for the subsonic interface, how to I get the button in Frontview to point to the new location? I can get to it manually, just curious how to modify the button so it works too. Thanks guys.

Hey everyone!

Subsonic has been working 100% for me the last few months with HTTPS enabled but all of a sudden it refused to decode FLAC-->Mp3. I tried everything but I eventually gave up and did a clean install on my Readynas ultra 4.

Now I can't get HTTPS working again. I've tried editing the subsonic.sh but this time it simply doesn't work. I have these lines:
SUBSONIC_PORT=4040
SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT=4043

I've tried setting the SUBSONIC_PORT=0 but then everything failes. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

@honoka : Other than 'gain root access' ?... no
@xsspeed03 : hack thr frontview sources, but then you might mess up things.... why changing url anyway ?
@xophile : hmm... mine is running on a NVX, perhaps the Ultra 4 is lacking some SSL/TLS libraries ?

@fdullemond

I forgot I put that post here. I actually figured out how to change where the button in Frontview directs to. The reason for this is because the firewall at my workplace will not allow me to get to port 4040, but a higher port works fine. So I just changed the port that Subsonic uses.

Here's the how-to in case anyone is interested: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=59025#p331933

If you are running this from work, you might really consider running subsonic using https to avoid traffic monitoring...

With http your subsonic credentials will be transported in the clear.... not the most optimal arrangement to run over the internet.
