Feedback 9.0.3

[Phil35]

Hi,
First a huge thanks to Tim and all the team  

I just use rpi-imager to create a new SD Card with 9.0.3 bookworm (12) for the Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 with 1GB of memory which previously ran the 8.3.9 version under OS bulleye(11).

After a few tuning/installations, everything is Ok.

What I have done:
- installation of some additionnal packages:
   * nmon  for monitoring
   * neofetch Linux System Information
   * lsof   to visualize connections
   * sshfs  to be able to mount remote directory from a NAS
- Activation of http streaming on port 8000, not activated by default
- put a password for the hotspot (SSID  Moodeaudio)
- mount the remote directory by sshfs and update library
- add previous radios. Some were no more there in /var/lib/mpd/music/RADIO/
- volume from software to hardware for Creative BT-W4 usb key in menu Configure -> audio -> audio ouput

and now music

That's all.
Kind regards
Phil

It feels like you intend to use the Pi for more than "just" a host for moOde, especially since you installed neofetch and sshfs.

I;m curious to know what your use case is for using sshfs to mount remote directories instead of (or in addition to?) letting moOde handle the job.

Hi Kent,

no only moode audio, this is pi3 with only 1GB ... and It works very well with moode audio,
it was the case with version 8.3.9, I installed today and then listen music, it seems fine with 9.0.3.
neofetch, I add this command at the end of the .bashrc, once login, all the system information in a sumup is displayed, nice and useful.

Beginning of 2023 I opened an idea about sshfs [ https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=5309 ]
I don't want to use SMB and NFS, sshfs is cool only one port to use, and secure communication, even if it is on the local network. And It works nicely.

The goal today (since 2023, when I discovered moode audio) is to mount remote directory from a NAS synology.
In the futur, I think to remove the synology. The data will be stored on a SSD localy connected to the pi.

Regards
Phil
