Invite system
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On closed instances, it has always been a little bit painful to create accounts
by hand for new users. This release solve that by adding invitations.
You can generate invitation codes via the "users" admin interface (you'll find a
link in the sidebar). Those codes are valid for 14 days, and can be used once
to create a new account on the instance, even if registrations are closed.
By default, we generate a random code for invitations, but you can also use custom codes
if you need to print them or make them fancier ;)
Invitations generation and management requires the "settings" permission.
Removed front-end and back-end coupling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Eventhough Funkwhale's front-end has always been a Single Page Application,
talking to an API, it was only able to talk to an API on the same domain.
There was no real technical justification behind this (only lazyness), and it was
also blocking interesting use cases:
- Use multiple customized versions of the front-end with the same instance
- Use a customized version of the front-end with multiple instances
- Use a locally hosted front-end with a remote API, which is especially useful in development
From now on, Funkwhale's front-end can connect to any Funkwhale server. You can
change the server you are connecting to in the footer.
Fixing this also unlocked a really interesting feature in our development/review workflow:
by leveraging Gitlab CI and review apps, we are now able to deploy automatically live versions of
a merge request, making it possible for anyone to review front-end changes easily, without
the need to install a local environment.

Permission issues on radios
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because of an error in the way we checked user permissions on radios,
public radios could be deleted by any logged-in user, even if they were not
the owner of the radio.
We recommend instances owners to upgrade as fast as possible to avoid any abuse
and data loss.
Funkwhale is now licenced under AGPL-3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Following the recent switch made by PixelFed
(https://github.com/dansup/pixelfed/issues/143), we decided along with
the community to relicence Funkwhale under the AGPL-3 licence. We did this
switch for various reasons:
- This is better aligned with other fediverse software
- It prohibits anyone to distribute closed-source and proprietary forks of Funkwhale
As end users and instance owners, this does not change anything. You can
continue to use Funkwhale exactly as you did before :)
Apache support for websocket
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Up until now, our Apache2 configuration was not working with websockets. This is now
solved by adding this at the beginning of your Apache2 configuration file::
Define funkwhale-api-ws ws://localhost:5000
And this, before the "/api" block::
# Activating WebSockets
ProxyPass "/api/v1/instance/activity" ${funkwhale-api-ws}/api/v1/instance/activity
Websockets may not be supported in older versions of Apache2. Be sure to upgrade to the latest version available.
Serving album covers in https (Apache2 proxy)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Two issues are addressed here. The first one was about Django replying with
mixed content (http) when queried for covers. Setting up the `X-Forwarded-Proto`
allows Django to know that the client is using https, and that the reply must
be https as well.
Second issue was a problem of permission causing Apache a denied access to
album cover folder. It is solved by adding another block for this path in
the Apache configuration file for funkwhale.
Here is how to modify your `funkwhale.conf` apache2 configuration::
<VirtualHost *:443>
...
#Add this new line
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
...
# Add this new block below the other <Directory/> blocks
# replace /srv/funkwhale/data/media with the path to your media directory
# if you're not using the standard layout.
<Directory /srv/funkwhale/data/media/albums>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
...
</VirtualHost>
About the makemigrations warning
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You may sometimes get the following warning while applying migrations::
"Your models have changes that are not yet reflected in a migration, and so won't be applied."
This is a warning, not an error, and it can be safely ignored.
Never run the ``makemigrations`` command yourself.

0.14.1 (2018-06-06)
-------------------
Upgrade instructions are available at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/upgrading.html
Enhancements:
- Display server version in the footer (#270)
- fix_track_files will now update files with bad mimetype (and not only the one
with no mimetype) (#273)
- Huge performance boost (~x5 to x7) during CLI import that queries MusicBrainz
(#288)
- Removed alpha-state transcoding support (#271)
Bugfixes:
- Broken logging statement during import error (#274)

- Removed hardcoded size limit in file upload widget (#275)
Documentation:
- Added warning about _protected/music location in nginx configuration (#247)
Removed alpha-state transcoding (#271)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A few months ago, a basic transcoding feature was implemented. Due to the way
this feature was designed, it was slow, CPU intensive on the server side,
and very tightly coupled to the reverse-proxy configuration, preventing
it to work Apache2, for instance. It was also not compatible with Subsonic clients.
Based on that, we're currently removing support for transcoding
**in its current state**. The work on a better designed transcoding feature
can be tracked in https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/issues/272.
You don't have to do anything on your side, but you may want to remove
the now obsolete configuration from your reverse proxy file (nginx only)::
# Remove those blocks:
# transcode cache
proxy_cache_path /tmp/funkwhale-transcode levels=1:2 keys_zone=transcode:10m max_size=1g inactive=7d;
# Transcoding logic and caching
location = /transcode-auth {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
# needed so we can authenticate transcode requests, but still
# cache the result
internal;
set $query '';
# ensure we actually pass the jwt to the underlytin auth url
if ($request_uri ~* "[^\?]+\?(.*)$") {
set $query $1;
}
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/api/v1/trackfiles/viewable/?$query;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
}
location /api/v1/trackfiles/transcode/ {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
# this block deals with authenticating and caching transcoding
# requests. Caching is heavily recommended as transcoding
# is a CPU intensive process.
auth_request /transcode-auth;
if ($args ~ (.*)jwt=[^&]*(.*)) {
set $cleaned_args $1$2;
}
proxy_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$uri$is_args$cleaned_args";
proxy_cache transcode;
proxy_cache_valid 200 7d;
proxy_ignore_headers "Set-Cookie";
proxy_hide_header "Set-Cookie";
add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api;
}
# end of transcoding logic

Files management interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the first bit of an ongoing work that will span several releases, to
bring more powerful library management features to Funkwhale. This iteration
includes a basic file management interface where users with the "library"
permission can list and search available files, order them using
various criterias (size, bitrate, duration...) and delete them.
New "upload" permission
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This new permission is helpful if you want to give upload/import rights
to some users, but don't want them to be able to manage the library as a whole:
although there are no controls yet for managing library in the fron-end,
subsequent release will introduce management interfaces for artists, files,
etc.
Because of that, users with the "library" permission will have much more power,
and will also be able to remove content from the platform. On the other hand,
users with the "upload" permission will only have the ability to add new
content.
Also, this release also includes a new feature called "default permissions":
those are permissions that are granted to every users on the platform.
On public/open instances, this will play well with the "upload" permission
since everyone will be able to contribute to the instance library without
an admin giving the permission to every single user.
Smarter album cover importer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In earlier versions, covers where only imported when launching a YouTube import.
Starting from this release, covers will be imported regardless of the import mode
(file upload, youtube-dl, CLI, in-place...). Funkwhale will look for covers
in the following order:
1. In the imported file itself (FLAC/MP3 only)
2. In a cover.jpg or cover.png in the file directory
3. By fetching cover art from Musibrainz, assuming the file is tagged correctly
This will only work for newly imported tracks and albums though. In the future,
we may offer an option to refetch album covers from the interface, but in the
meantime, you can use the following snippet:
.. code-block:: python
# Store this in /tmp/update_albums.py
from funkwhale_api.music.models import Album, TrackFile
from funkwhale_api.music.tasks import update_album_cover
albums_without_covers = Album.objects.filter(cover='')
total = albums_without_covers.count()
print('Found {} albums without cover'.format(total))
for i, album in enumerate(albums_without_covers.iterator()):
print('[{}/{}] Fetching cover for {}...'.format(i+1, total, album.title))
f = TrackFile.objects.filter(track__album=album).filter(source__startswith='file://').first()
update_album_cover(album, track_file=f)
Then launch it::
# docker setups
cat /tmp/update_albums.py | docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py shell -i python
# non-docker setups
source /srv/funkwhale/load_env
source /srv/funkwhale/virtualenv/bin/activate
cat /tmp/update_albums.py | python manage.py shell -i python
# cleanup
rm /tmp/update_albums.py
.. note::
Depending on your number of albums, the previous snippet may take some time
to execute. You can interrupt it at any time using ctrl-c and relaunch it later,
as it's idempotent.
Music API changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This release includes an API break. Even though the API is advertised
as unstable, and not documented, here is a brief explanation of the change in
case you are using the API in a client or in a script. Summary of the changes:
- ``/api/v1/artists`` does not includes a list of tracks anymore. It was to heavy
to return all of this data all the time. You can get all tracks for an
artist using ``/api/v1/tracks?artist=artist_id``
- Additionally, ``/api/v1/tracks`` now support an ``album`` filter to filter
tracks matching an album
- ``/api/v1/artists/search``, ``/api/v1/albums/search`` and ``/api/v1/tracks/search``
endpoints are removed. Use ``/api/v1/{artists|albums|tracks}/?q=yourquery``
instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
filters and ordering options.
- ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/search`` endpoint is removed as well.
Use ``/api/v1/requests/import-requests/?q=yourquery``
instead. It's also more powerful, since you can combine search with other
filters and ordering options.
Of course, the front-end was updated to work with the new API, so this should
not impact end-users in any way, apart from slight performance gains.
.. note::
The API is still not stable and may evolve again in the future. API freeze
will come at a later point.
Flac files imports via upload
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You have nothing to do to benefit from this, however, since Flac files
tend to be a lot bigger than other files, you may want to increase the
``client_max_body_size`` value in your Nginx configuration if you plan
to upload flac files.
Missing subsonic configuration bloc in vhost files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Because of a missing bloc in the sample Nginx and Apache configurations,
instances that were deployed after the 0.13 release are likely to be unable
to answer to Subsonic clients (the missing bits were properly documented
in the changelog).
Ensure you have the following snippets in your Nginx or Apache configuration
if you plan to use the Subsonic API.
Nginx::
location /rest/ {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/api/subsonic/rest/;
}
Apache2::
<Location "/rest">
ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
</Location>

Instance settings interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Prior to this release, the only way to update instance settings (such as
instance description, signup policy, federation configuration, etc.) was using
the admin interface provided by Django (the back-end framework which power the API).
This interface worked, but was not really-user friendly and intuitive.
Starting from this release, we now offer a dedicated interface directly
in the front-end. You can view and edit all your instance settings from here,
assuming you have the required permissions.
This interface is available at ``/manage/settings` and via link in the sidebar.
Storage of bitrate, size and length in database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Starting with this release, when importing files, Funkwhale will store
additional information about audio files:
- Bitrate
- Size (in bytes)
- Duration
This change is not retroactive, meaning already imported files will lack those
informations. The interface and API should work as before in such case, however,
we offer a command to deal with legacy files and populate the missing values.
On docker setups:
.. code-block:: shell
docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py fix_track_files
On non-docker setups:
.. code-block:: shell
# from your activated virtualenv
python manage.py fix_track_files
.. note::
The execution time for this command is proportional to the number of
audio files stored on your instance. This is because we need to read the
files from disk to fetch the data. You can run it in the background
while Funkwhale is up.
It's also safe to interrupt this command and rerun it at a later point, or run
it multiple times.
Use the --dry-run flag to check how many files would be impacted.
Simpler permission system
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Starting from this release, the permission system is much simpler. Up until now,
we were using Django's built-in permission system, which was working, but also
quite complex to deal with.
The new implementation relies on simpler logic, which will make integration
on the front-end in upcoming releases faster and easier.
If you have manually given permissions to users on your instance,
you can migrate those to the new system.
On docker setups:
.. code-block:: shell
docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py script django_permissions_to_user_permissions --no-input
On non-docker setups:
.. code-block:: shell
# in your virtualenv
python api/manage.py script django_permissions_to_user_permissions --no-input
There is still no dedicated interface to manage user permissions, but you
can use the admin interface at ``/api/admin/users/user/`` for that purpose in
the meantime.

0.12 (2018-05-09)
-----------------
Upgrade instructions are available at
https://docs.funkwhale.audio/upgrading.html
Features:
- Subsonic API implementation to offer compatibility with existing clients such
as DSub (#75)
- Use nodeinfo standard for publishing instance information (#192)
Enhancements:
- Play button now play tracks immediately instead of appending them to the
queue (#99, #156)
Bugfixes:
- Fix broken federated import (#193)
Documentation:
- Up-to-date documentation for upgrading front-end files on docker setup (#132)
Subsonic API
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This release implements some core parts of the Subsonic API, which is widely
deployed in various projects and supported by numerous clients.
By offering this API in Funkwhale, we make it possible to access the instance
library and listen to the music without from existing Subsonic clients, and
without developping our own alternative clients for each and every platform.
Most advanced Subsonic clients support offline caching of music files,
playlist management and search, which makes them well-suited for nomadic use.
Please head over :doc:`users/apps` for more informations about supported clients
and user instructions.
At the instance-level, the Subsonic API is enabled by default, but require
and additional endpoint to be added in you reverse-proxy configuration.
On nginx, add the following block::
location /rest/ {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/api/subsonic/rest/;
}
On Apache, add the following block::
<Location "/rest">
ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/api/subsonic/rest
</Location>
The Subsonic can be disabled at the instance level from the django admin.
.. note::
Because of Subsonic's API design which assumes cleartext storing of
user passwords, we chose to have a dedicated, separate password
for that purpose. Users can generate this password from their
settings page in the web client.
Nodeinfo standard for instance information and stats
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. warning::
The ``/api/v1/instance/stats/`` endpoint which was used to display
instance data in the about page is removed in favor of the new
``/api/v1/instance/nodeinfo/2.0/`` endpoint.
In earlier version, we where using a custom endpoint and format for
our instance information and statistics. While this was working,
this was not compatible with anything else on the fediverse.
We now offer a nodeinfo 2.0 endpoint which provides, in a single place,
all the instance information such as library and user activity statistics,
public instance settings (description, registration and federation status, etc.).
We offer two settings to manage nodeinfo in your Funkwhale instance:
1. One setting to completely disable nodeinfo, but this is not recommended
as the exposed data may be needed to make some parts of the front-end
work (especially the about page).
2. One setting to disable only usage and library statistics in the nodeinfo
endpoint. This is useful if you want the nodeinfo endpoint to work,
but don't feel comfortable sharing aggregated statistics about your library
and user activity.
To make your instance fully compatible with the nodeinfo protocol, you need to
# before
...
location /.well-known/webfinger {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/.well-known/webfinger;
}
...
# after
...
location /.well-known/ {
include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
proxy_pass http://funkwhale-api/.well-known/;
}
...
# before
...
<Location "/.well-known/webfinger">
ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/webfinger
ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/webfinger
</Location>
...
# after
...
<Location "/.well-known/">
ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/
ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/.well-known/
</Location>
...
This will ensure all well-known endpoints are proxied to funkwhale, and
not just webfinger one.

-----------------
Upgrade instructions are available at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/upgrading.html
Special thanks for this release go to @renon:matrix.org (@Hazmo on Gitlab)
for bringing Apache2 support to Funkwhale and contributing on other issues.
Thank you!
Features:
- Funkwhale now works behind an Apache2 reverse proxy (!165)
check out the brand new documentation at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/index.html#apache2
if you want to try it!
- Users can now request password reset by email, assuming a SMTP server was
correctly configured (#187)
Enhancements:
- Added a fix_track_files command to run checks and fixes against library
(#183)
- Avoid fetching Actor object on every request authentication
- Can now relaunch errored jobs and batches (#176)
- List pending requests by default, added a status filter for requests (#109)
- More structured menus in sidebar, added labels with notifications
- Sample virtual-host file for Apache2 reverse-proxy (!165)
- Store high-level settings (such as federation or auth-related ones) in
database (#186)
Bugfixes:
- Ensure in place imported files get a proper mimetype (#183)
- Federation cache suppression is now simpler and also deletes orphaned files
(#189)
- Fixed small UI glitches/bugs in federation tabs (#184)
- X-sendfile not working with in place import (#182)
Documentation:
- Added a documentation area for third-party projects (#180)
- Added documentation for optimizing Funkwhale and reduce its memory footprint.
- Document that the database should use an utf-8 encoding (#185)
- Foundations for API documentation with Swagger (#178)
Database storage for high-level settings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Due to the work done in #186, the following environment variables have been
deprecated:
- FEDERATION_ENABLED
- FEDERATION_COLLECTION_PAGE_SIZE
- FEDERATION_MUSIC_NEEDS_APPROVAL
- FEDERATION_ACTOR_FETCH_DELAY
- PLAYLISTS_MAX_TRACKS
- API_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
Configuration for this settings has been moved to database, as it will provide
a better user-experience, by allowing you to edit these values on-the-fly,
without restarting Funkwhale processes.
You can leave those environment variables in your .env file for now, as the
values will be used to populate the database entries. We'll make a proper
announcement when the variables won't be used anymore.
Please browse https://docs.funkwhale.audio/configuration.html#instance-settings
for more information about instance configuration using the web interface.
System emails
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Starting from this release, Funkwhale will send two types
of emails:
- Email confirmation emails, to ensure a user's email is valid
- Password reset emails, enabling user to reset their password without an admin's intervention
Email sending is disabled by default, as it requires additional configuration.
In this mode, emails are simply outputed on stdout.
If you want to actually send those emails to your users, you should edit your
.env file and tweak the EMAIL_CONFIG variable. See :ref:`setting-EMAIL_CONFIG`
for more details.
.. note::
As a result of these changes, the DJANGO_EMAIL_BACKEND variable,
which was not documented, has no effect anymore. You can safely remove it from
your .env file if it is set.
Proxy headers for non-docker deployments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For non-docker deployments, add ``--proxy-headers`` at the end of the ``daphne``
command in :file:`/etc/systemd/system/funkwhale-server.service`.
This will ensure the application receive the correct IP address from the client
and not the proxy's one.

In-place import
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This release includes in-place imports for the CLI import. This means you can
load gigabytes of music into funkwhale without worrying about about Funkwhale
copying those music files in its internal storage and eating your disk space.
`This new feature is documented here <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/importing-music.html#in-place-import>`_
and require additional configuration to ensure funkwhale and your webserver can
serve those files properly.

----------------
Features:
- Add internationalization support (#5)
- Can now follow and import music from remote libraries (#136, #137)
Enhancements:
- Added a i18n-extract yarn script to extract strings to PO files (#162)
- User admin now includes signup and last login dates (#148)
- We now use a proper user agent including instance version and url during

Federation is here!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is for real this time, and includes:
- Following other Funkwhale libraries
- Importing tracks from remote libraries (tracks are hotlinked, and only cached for a short amount of time)
- Searching accross federated catalogs
Note that by default, federation is opt-in, on a per-instance basis:
instances will request access to your catalog, and you can accept or refuse
those requests. You can also revoke the access at any time.
