    0.21 "Agate" (2020-04-24)
    -------------------------
    
    This 0.21 release is dedicated to Agate, to thank her, for both having created the Funkwhale project, being the current lead developer, and for her courage of coming out. Thank you Agate from all the members of the Funkwhale community <3
    
    We are truly grateful as well to the dozens of people who contributed to this release with translations, development, documentation, reviews, design, testing, feedback, financial support, third-party projects and integrations… You made it possible!
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/upgrading.html, there are also additional operations you need to execute, listed in the changelog below (search "Manual action").
    
    Channels and podcasts
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale 0.21 includes a brand new feature: Channels!
    
    Channels can be used as a replacement to public libraries,
    to publish audio content, both musical and non-musical. They federate with other Funkwhale pods, but also other
    fediverse software, in particular Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica and Reel2Bits, meaning people can subscribe to your channel
    from any of these software. To get started with publication, simply visit your profile and create a channel from there.
    
    Each Funkwhale channel also comes with RSS feed that is compatible with existing podcasting applications, like AntennaPod
    on Android and, within Funkwhale, you can also subscribe to any podcast from its RSS feed!
    
    Many, many thanks to the numerous people who helped with the feature design, development and testing, and in particular
    to the members of the working group who met every week for months in order to get this done, and the members of other third-party
    projects who took the time to work with us to ensure compatibility.
    
    Redesigned navigation, player and queue
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release includes a full redesign of our navigation, player and queue. Overall, it should provide
    a better, less confusing experience, especially on mobile devices. This redesign was suggested
    14 months ago, and took a while, but thanks to the involvement and feedback of many people, we got it done!
    
    Improved search bar for searching remote objects
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The search bar now support fetching arbitrary objects using a URL. In particular, you can use this to quickly:
    
    - Subscribe to a remote library via its URL
    - Listen a public track from another pod
    - Subscribe to a channel
    
    Screening for sign-ups and custom sign-up form
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Instance admins can now configure their pod so that registrations required manual approval from a moderator. This
    is especially useful on private or semi-private pods where you don't want to close registrations completely,
    but don't want spam or unwanted users to join your pod.
    
    When this is enabled and a new user register, their request is put in a moderation queue, and moderators
    are notified by email. When the request is approved or refused, the user is also notified by email.
    
    In addition, it's also possible to customize the sign-up form by:
    
    - Providing a custom help text, in markdown format
    - Including additional fields in the form, for instance to ask the user why they want to join. Data collected through these fields is included in the sign-up request and viewable by the mods
    
    Federated reports
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    It's now possible to send a copy of a report to the server hosting the reported object, in order to make moderation easier and more distributed.
    
    This feature is inspired by Mastodon's current design, and should work with at least Funkwhale and Mastodon servers.
    
    Improved search performance
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Our search engine went through a full rewrite to make it faster. This new engine is enabled
    by default when using the search bar, or when searching for artists, albums and tracks. It leverages
    PostgreSQL full-text search capabilities.
    
    During our tests, we observed huge performance improvements after the switch, by an order of
    magnitude. This should be especially perceptible on pods with large databases, more modest hardware
    or hard drives.
    
    We plan to remove the old engine in an upcoming release. In the meantime, if anything goes wrong,
    you can switch back by setting ``USE_FULL_TEXT_SEARCH=false`` in your ``.env`` file.
    
    Enforced email verification
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The brand new ``ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_ENFORCE`` setting can be used to make email verification
    mandatory for your users. It defaults to ``false``, and doesn't apply to superuser accounts created through
    the CLI.
    
    If you enable this, ensure you have a SMTP server configured too.
    
    More reliable CLI importer [manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Our CLI importer is now more reliable and less prone to Out-of-Memory issues, especially when scanning large libraries. (hundreds of GB or bigger)
    
    We've also improved the directory crawling logic, so that you don't have to use glob patterns or specify extensions when importing. As a result, the syntax for providing directories to the command as changed slightly.
    
    If you use the ``import_files`` command, this means you should replace scripts that look like this::
    
        python api/manage.py import_files $LIBRARY_ID "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/**/*.ogg" "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/**/*.mp3" --recursive --noinput
    
    By this::
    
        python api/manage.py import_files $LIBRARY_ID "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/" --recursive --noinput
    
    And Funkwhale will happily import any supported audio file from the specified directory.
    
    User management through the server CLI
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    We now support user creation (incl. non-admin accounts), update and removal directly
    from the server CLI. Typical use cases include:
    
    - Changing a user password from the command line
    - Creating or updating users from deployments scripts or playbooks
    - Removing or granting permissions or upload quota to multiple users at once
    - Marking multiple users as inactive
    
    All user-related commands are available under the ``python manage.py fw users`` namespace.
    Please refer to the `Admin documentation <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/commands.html#user-management>`_ for
    more information and instructions.
    
    Progressive web app [Manual action suggested, non-docker only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    We've made Funkwhale's Web UI a Progressive Web Application (PWA), in order to improve the user experience
    during offline use, and on mobile devices.
    
    In order to fully benefit from this change, if your pod isn't deployed using Docker, ensure
    the following instruction is present in your nginx configuration::
    
        location /front/ {
            # Add the following line in the /front/ location
            add_header Service-Worker-Allowed "/";
        }
    
    Postgres docker changed environment variable [manual action required, docker multi-container only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    If you're running with docker and our multi-container setup, there was a breaking change starting in the 11.7 postgres image (https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/pull/658)
    
    You need to add this to your .env file: ``POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust``
    
    Newer deployments aren't affected.
    
    Upgrade from Postgres 10 to 11 [manual action required, docker all-in-one only]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    With our upgrade to Alpine 3.10, the ``funkwhale/all-in-one`` image now includes PostgreSQL 11.
    
    In order to update to Funkwhale 0.21, you will first need to uprade Funkwhale's PostgreSQL database, following the steps below::
    
        # open a shell as the Funkwhale user
        sudo -u funkwhale -H bash
    
        # move to the funkwhale data directory
        # (replace this with your own if you used a different path)
        cd /srv/funkwhale/data
    
        # stop the funkwhale container
        docker stop funkwhale
    
        # backup the database files
        cp -r data/ ../postgres.bak
    
        # Upgrade the database
        docker run --rm \
            -v $(pwd)/data:/var/lib/postgresql/10/data \
            -v $(pwd)/upgraded-postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql/11/data \
            -e PGUSER=funkwhale \
            -e POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS="-U funkwhale --locale C --encoding UTF8" \
            tianon/postgres-upgrade:10-to-11
    
        # replace the Postgres 10 files with Postgres 11 files
        mv data/ postgres-10
        mv upgraded-postgresql/ data
    
    Once you have completed the Funkwhale upgrade with our regular instructions and everything works properly,
    you can remove the backups/old files::
    
        sudo -u funkwhale -H bash
        cd /srv/funkwhale/data
        rm -rf ../postgres.bak
        rm -rf postgres-10

    -------------------
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/index.html
    
    Denormalized audio permission logic in a separate table to enhance performance
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    With this release, we're introducing a performance enhancement that should reduce the load on the database and API
    servers (cf https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/merge_requests/939).
    
    Under the hood, we now maintain a separate table to link users to the tracks they are allowed to see. This change is **disabled**
    by default, but should be enabled by default starting in Funkwhale 0.21.
    
    If you want to try it now, add
    ``MUSIC_USE_DENORMALIZATION=True`` to your ``.env`` file, restart Funkwhale, and run the following command::
    
        python manage.py rebuild_music_permissions
    
    This shouldn't cause any regression, but we'd appreciate if you could test this before the 0.21 release and report any unusual
    behaviour regarding tracks, albums and artists visibility.
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added a retry option for failed uploads (#942)
    - Added feedback via loading spinner when searching a remote library
    - Denormalized audio permission logic in a separate table to enhance performance
    - Placeholders will now be shown if no content is available across the application (#750)
    - Reduce the number of simultaneous DB connections under some deployment scenario
    - Support byYear filtering in Subsonic API (#936)
    
    Bugfixes:
    
    - Ensure password input doesn't overflow outside of container (#933)
    - Fix audio serving issues under S3/nginx when signatures are enabled
    - Fix import crash when importing M4A file with no embedded cover (#946)
    - Fix tag exclusion in custom radios (#950)
    - Fixed an issue with embed player CSS being purged during build (#935)

  • 0.19.0
    0.19.0 (2019-05-16)
    -------------------
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/index.html
    
    Edits on tracks, albums and artists
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale was a bit annoying when it camed to metadata. Tracks, albums and artists profiles
    were created from audio file tags, but basically immutable after that (unless you had
    admin access to Django's UI, which wasn't ideal to do this kind of changes).
    
    With this release, everyone can suggest changes on track, album and artist pages. Users
    with the "library" permission can review suggested edits in a dedicated interface
    and apply/reject them.
    
    Approved edits are broadcasted via federation, to ensure other instances get the information
    too.
    
    Not all fields are currently modifiable using this feature. Especially, it's not possible
    to suggest a new album cover, or reassign a track to a different album or artist. Those will
    be implemented in a future release.
    
    Admin UI for tracks, albums, artists, libraries and uploads
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    As part of our ongoing effort to make Funkwhale easier to manage for instance owners,
    this release includes a brand new administration interface to deal with:
    
    - tracks
    - albums
    - artists
    - libraries
    - uploads
    
    You can use this UI to quickly search for any object, delete objects in batch, understand
    where they are coming from etc. This new UI should remove the need to go through Django's
    admin in the vast majority of cases (but also includes a link to Django's admin when needed).
    
    Artist hiding in the interface
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    It's now possible for users to hide artists they don't want to see.
    
    Content linked to hidden artists will not show up in the interface anymore. Especially:
    
    - Hidden artists tracks are removed from the current queue
    - Starting a playlist will skip tracks from hidden artists
    - Recently favorited, recently listened and recently added widgets on the homepage won't include content from hidden artists
    - Radio suggestions will exclude tracks from hidden artists
    - Hidden artists won't appear in Subsonic apps
    
    Results linked to hidden artists will continue to show up in search results and their profile page remains accessible.
    
    OAuth2 authorization for better integration with third-party apps
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale now support the OAuth2 authorization and authentication protocol which will allow
    third-party apps to interact with Funkwhale on behalf of users.
    
    This feature makes it possible to build third-party apps that have the same capabilities
    as Funkwhale's Web UI. The only exception at the moment is for actions that requires
    special permissions, such as modifying instance settings or moderation (but this will be
    enabled in a future release).
    
    If you want to start building an app on top of Funkwhale's API, please check-out
    `https://docs.funkwhale.audio/api.html`_ and `https://docs.funkwhale.audio/developers/authentication.html`_.
    
    Better error handling and display during import
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale should now be more resilient to missing tags in imported files, and give
    you more insights when something goes wrong, including the specific tags that were missing
    or invalid, and additional debug information to share in your support requests.
    
    This information is available in all pages that list uploads, when clicking on the button next to the upload status.
    
    Support for S3-compatible storages to store media files
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Storing all media files on the Funkwhale server itself may not be possible or desirable
    in all scenarios. You can now configure Funkwhale to store those files in a S3
    bucket instead.
    
    Check-out `https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/external-storages.html`_ if you want to use
    this feature.
    
    Prune library command
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Users are often surprised by Funkwhale's tendency to keep track, album and artist
    metadata even if no associated files exist.
    
    To help with that, we now offer a ``prune_library`` management command you can run
    to purge your database from obsolete entries. `Please refer to our documentation
    for usage instructions <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/commands.html#pruning-library>`_.
    
    Check in-place files command
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    When using in-place import with a living audio library, you'll quite often rename or
    remove files from the file system. Unfortunately, Funkwhale keeps a reference to those
    files in the database, which results in unplayable tracks.
    
    To help with that, we now offer a ``check_inplace_files`` management command you can run
    to purge your database from obsolete files. `Please refer to our documentation
    for usage instructions <https://docs.funkwhale.audio/admin/commands.html#remove-obsolete-files-from-database>`_.

    Avoid mixed content when deploying mono-container behind proxy [Manual action required]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    *You are only concerned if you use the mono-container docker deployment behind a reverse proxy*
    
    Because of `an issue in our mono-container configuration <https://github.com/thetarkus/docker-funkwhale/issues/19>`_, users deploying Funkwhale via docker
    using our `funkwhale/all-in-one` image could face some mixed content warnings (and possibly other troubles)
    when browsing the Web UI.
    
    This is fixed in this release, but on existing deployments, you'll need to add ``NESTED_PROXY=1`` in your container
    environment (either in your ``.env`` file, or via your container management tool), then recreate your funkwhale container.
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added title on hover for truncated content (#766)
    - Ask for confirmation before leaving upload page if there is a an upload in process (#630)
    - Exclude in-place imported files from quota computation (#570)
    - Truncate filename in library file table to ensure correct display of the table. (#735)
    
    Bugfixes:
    
    - Avoid mixed content when deploying mono-container behind HTTPS proxy (thetarkus/docker-funkwhale#19)
    - Display new notifications immediatly on notifications page (#729)
    - Ensure cover art from uploaded files is picked up properly on existing albums (#757)
    - Fixed a crash when federating a track with unspecified position
    - Fixed broken Activity and Actor modules in django admin (#767)
    - Fixed broken sample apache configuration (#764)
    - Fixed constant and unpredictable reordering during file upload (#716)
    - Fixed delivering of local activities causing unintended side effects, such as rollbacking changes (#737)
    - Fixed escaping issues in translated strings (#652)
    - Fixed saving moderation policy when clicking on "Cancel" (#751)
    - i18n: Update page title when changing the App's language. (#511)
    - Include disc number in Subsonic responses (#765)

    Fix Gzip compression to avoid BREACH exploit [security] [manual action required]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    In the 0.18 release, we've enabled Gzip compression by default for various
    content types, including HTML and JSON. Unfortunately, enabling Gzip compression
    on such content types could make BREACH-type exploits possible.
    
    We've removed the risky content-types from our nginx template files, to ensure new
    instances are safe, however, if you already have an instance, you need
    to double check that your host nginx virtualhost do not include the following
    values for the ``gzip_types`` settings::
    
       application/atom+xml
       application/json
       application/ld+json
       application/activity+json
       application/manifest+json
       application/rss+xml
       application/xhtml+xml
       application/xml
    
    For convenience, you can also replace the whole setting with the following snippet::
    
       gzip_types
          application/javascript
          application/vnd.geo+json
          application/vnd.ms-fontobject
          application/x-font-ttf
          application/x-web-app-manifest+json
          font/opentype
          image/bmp
          image/svg+xml
          image/x-icon
          text/cache-manifest
          text/css
          text/plain
          text/vcard
          text/vnd.rim.location.xloc
          text/vtt
          text/x-component
          text/x-cross-domain-policy;
    
    Many thanks to @jibec for the report!
    
    Fix Apache configuration file for 0.18 [manual action required]
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    The way front is served has changed since 0.18. The Apache configuration can't serve 0.18 properly, leading to blank screens.
    
    If you are on an Apache setup, you will have to replace the `<Location "/api">` block with the following::
    
       <Location "/">
          # similar to nginx 'client_max_body_size 100M;'
          LimitRequestBody 104857600
    
          ProxyPass ${funkwhale-api}/
          ProxyPassReverse ${funkwhale-api}/
       </Location>
    
    And add some more `ProxyPass` directives so that the `Alias` part of your configuration file looks this way::
    
       ProxyPass "/front" "!"
       Alias /front /srv/funkwhale/front/dist
    
       ProxyPass "/media" "!"
       Alias /media /srv/funkwhale/data/media
    
       ProxyPass "/staticfiles" "!"
       Alias /staticfiles /srv/funkwhale/data/static
    
    In case you are using custom css and theming, you also need to match this block::
    
       ProxyPass "/settings.json" "!"
       Alias /settings.json /srv/funkwhale/custom/settings.json
    
       ProxyPass "/custom" "!"
       Alias /custom /srv/funkwhale/custom
    
    Enhancements:
    
    - Added name attributes on all inputs to improve UX, especially with password managers (#686)
    - Disable makemigrations in production and misleading message when running migrate (#685)
    - Display progress during file upload
    - Hide pagination when there is only one page of results (#681)
    - Include shared/public playlists in Subsonic API responses (#684)
    - Use proper locale for date-related/duration strings (#670)

    0.18 "Naomi" (2019-01-22)
    -------------------------
    
    This release is dedicated to Naomi, an early contributor and beta tester of Funkwhale.
    Her positivity, love and support have been incredibly helpful and helped shape the project
    as you can enjoy it today. Thank you so much Naomi <3
    
    Upgrade instructions are available at
    https://docs.funkwhale.audio/index.html, ensure you also execute the intructions
    marked with ``[manual action required]`` and ``[manual action suggested]``.
    
    See ``Full changelog`` below for an exhaustive list of changes!
    
    Audio transcoding is back!
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    After removal of our first, buggy transcoding implementation, we're proud to announce
    that this feature is back. It is enabled by default, and can be configured/disabled
    in your instance settings!
    
    This feature works in the browser, with federated/non-federated tracks and using Subsonic clients.
    Transcoded tracks are generated on the fly, and cached for a configurable amount of time,
    to reduce the load on the server.
    
    Licensing and copyright information
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale is now able to parse copyright and license data from file and store
    this information. Apart from displaying it on each track detail page,
    no additional behaviour is currently implemented to use this new data, but this
    will change in future releases.
    
    License and copyright data is also broadcasted over federation.
    
    License matching is done on the content of the ``License`` tag in the files,
    with a fallback on the ``Copyright`` tag.
    
    Funkwhale will successfully extract licensing data for the following licenses:
    
    - Creative Commons 0 (Public Domain)
    - Creative Commons 1.0 (All declinations)
    - Creative Commons 2.0 (All declinations)
    - Creative Commons 2.5 (All declinations and countries)
    - Creative Commons 3.0 (All declinations and countries)
    - Creative Commons 4.0 (All declinations)
    
    Support for other licenses such as Art Libre or WTFPL will be added in future releases.
    
    Instance-level moderation tools
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    This release includes a first set of moderation tools that will give more control
    to admins about the way their instance federate with other instance and accounts on the network.
    Using these tools, it's now possible to:
    
    - Browse known accounts and domains, and associated data (storage size, software version, etc.)
    - Purge data belonging to given accounts and domains
    - Block or partially restrict interactions with any account or domain
    
    All those features are usable using a brand new "moderation" permission, meaning
    you can appoints one or nultiple moderators to help with this task.
    
    I'd like to thank all Mastodon contributors, because some of the these tools are heavily
    inspired from what's being done in Mastodon. Thank you so much!
    
    Iframe widget to embed public tracks and albums [manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale now support embedding a lightweight audio player on external websites
    for album and tracks that are available in public libraries. Important pages,
    such as artist, album and track pages also include OpenGraph tags that will
    enable previews on compatible apps (like sharing a Funkwhale track link on Mastodon
    or Twitter).
    
    To achieve that, we had to tweak the way Funkwhale front-end is served. You'll have
    to modify your nginx configuration when upgrading to keep your instance working.
    
    **On docker setups**, edit your ``/srv/funkwhale/nginx/funkwhale.template`` and replace
    the ``location /api/`` and `location /` blocks by the following snippets::
    
        location / {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            # this is needed if you have file import via upload enabled
            client_max_body_size ${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE};
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/;
        }
    
        location /front/ {
            alias /frontend/;
        }
    
    The change of configuration will be picked when restarting your nginx container.
    
    **On non-docker setups**, edit your ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf`` file,
    and replace the ``location /api/`` and `location /` blocks by the following snippets::
    
        location / {
            include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
            # this is needed if you have file import via upload enabled
            client_max_body_size ${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE};
            proxy_pass   http://funkwhale-api/;
        }
    
        location /front/ {
            alias ${FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH}/;
        }
    
    Replace ``${FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH}`` by the corresponding variable from your .env file,
    which should be ``/srv/funkwhale/front/dist`` by default, then reload your nginx process with
    ``sudo systemctl reload nginx``.
    
    Alternative docker deployment method
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Thanks to the awesome done by @thetarkus at https://github.com/thetarkus/docker-funkwhale,
    we're now able to provide an alternative and easier Docker deployment method!
    
    In contrast with our current, multi-container offer, this method integrates
    all Funkwhale processes and services (database, redis, etc.) into a single, easier to deploy container.
    
    Both method will coexist in parallel, as each one has pros and cons. You can learn more
    about this exciting new deployment option by visiting https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/docker.html!
    
    Automatically load .env file
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    On non-docker deployments, earlier versions required you to source
    the config/.env file before launching any Funkwhale command, with ``export $(cat config/.env | grep -v ^# | xargs)``
    This led to more complex and error prode deployment / setup.
    
    This is not the case anymore, and Funkwhale will automatically load this file if it's available.
    
    Delete pre 0.17 federated tracks [manual action suggested]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    If you were using Funkwhale before the 0.17 release and federated with other instances,
    it's possible that you still have some unplayable federated files in the database.
    
    To purge the database of those entries, you can run the following command:
    
    On docker setups::
    
        docker-compose run --rm api python manage.py script delete_pre_017_federated_uploads --no-input
    
    On non-docker setups::
    
        python manage.py script delete_pre_017_federated_uploads --no-input
    
    Enable gzip compression [manual action suggested]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Gzip compression will be enabled on new instances by default
    and will reduce the amount of bandwidth consumed by your instance.
    
    If you with to benefit from gzip compression on your instance,
    edit your reverse proxy virtualhost file (located at ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf``) and add the following snippet
    in the server block, then reload your nginx server::
    
        server {
            # ... exiting configuration
    
            # compression settings
            gzip on;
            gzip_comp_level    5;
            gzip_min_length    256;
            gzip_proxied       any;
            gzip_vary          on;

    Using a LDAP directory to authenticate to your Funkwhale instance
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Funkwhale now support LDAP as an authentication source: you can configure
    your instance to delegate login to a LDAP directory, which is especially
    useful when you have an existing directory and don't want to manage users
    manually.
    
    You can use this authentication backend side by side with the classic one.
    
    Have a look at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/installation/ldap.html
    for detailed instructions on how to set this up.
    
    Simplified nginx setup [Docker: Manual action required]
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    We've received a lot of user feedback regarding our installation process,
    and it seems the proxy part is the one which is the most confusing and difficult.
    Unfortunately, this is also the one where errors and mistakes can completely break
    the application.
    
    To make things easier for everyone, we now offer a simplified deployment
    process for the reverse proxy part. This will make upgrade of the proxy configuration
    significantly easier on docker deployments.
    
    On non-docker instances, you have nothing to do.
    
    If you have a dockerized instance, here is the upgrade path.
    
    First, tweak your .env file::
    
        # remove the FUNKWHALE_URL variable
        # and add the next variables
        FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME=yourdomain.funkwhale
        FUNKWHALE_PROTOCOL=https
    
        # add the following variable, matching the path your app is deployed
        # leaving the default should work fine if you deployed using the same
        # paths as the documentation
        FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH=/srv/funkwhale/front/dist
    
    Then, add the following block at the end of your docker-compose.yml file::
    
        # existing services
        api:
            ...
        celeryworker:
            ...
    
        # new service
        nginx:
          image: nginx
          env_file:
            - .env
          environment:
            # Override those variables in your .env file if needed
            - "NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE=${NGINX_MAX_BODY_SIZE-30M}"
          volumes:
            - "./nginx/funkwhale.template:/etc/nginx/conf.d/funkwhale.template:ro"
            - "./nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf:ro"
            - "${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH-/srv/funkwhale/data/music}:${MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH-/srv/funkwhale/data/music}:ro"
            - "${MEDIA_ROOT}:${MEDIA_ROOT}:ro"
            - "${STATIC_ROOT}:${STATIC_ROOT}:ro"
            - "${FUNKWHALE_FRONTEND_PATH}:/frontend:ro"
          ports:
            # override those variables in your .env file if needed
            - "${FUNKWHALE_API_IP}:${FUNKWHALE_API_PORT}:80"
          command: >
              sh -c "envsubst \"`env | awk -F = '{printf \" $$%s\", $$1}'`\"
              < /etc/nginx/conf.d/funkwhale.template
              > /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
              && cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
              && nginx -g 'daemon off;'"
          links:
            - api
    
    By doing that, you'll enable a dockerized nginx that will automatically be
    configured to serve your Funkwhale instance.
    
    Download the required configuration files for the nginx container:
    
    .. parsed-literal::
    
        cd /srv/funkwhale
        mkdir nginx
        curl -L -o nginx/funkwhale.template "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/|version|/deploy/docker.nginx.template"
        curl -L -o nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/|version|/deploy/funkwhale_proxy.conf"
    
    Update the funkwhale.conf configuration of your server's reverse-proxy::
    
        # the file should match something like that, upgrade all variables
        # between ${} to match the ones in your .env file,
        # and your SSL configuration if you're not using let's encrypt
        # The important thing is that you only have a single location block
        # that proxies everything to your dockerized nginx.
    
        sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/funkwhale.conf
        upstream fw {
            # depending on your setup, you may want to update this
            server ${FUNKWHALE_API_IP}:${FUNKWHALE_API_PORT};
        }
        map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
            default upgrade;
            ''      close;
        }
    
        server {
            listen 80;
            listen [::]:80;
            server_name ${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME};
            location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }
        }
        server {
            listen      443 ssl;
            listen [::]:443 ssl;
            server_name ${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME};
    
            # TLS
            ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
            ssl_ciphers HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!aNULL:!NULL:!SHA;
            ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
            ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
            ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME}/fullchain.pem;
            ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME}/privkey.pem;
    
            # HSTS
            add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";
    
            location / {
                include /etc/nginx/funkwhale_proxy.conf;
                proxy_pass   http://fw/;
            }
        }
    
    Check that your configuration is valid then reload:
    
        sudo nginx -t
        sudo systemctl reload nginx

    Custom themes for Funkwhale
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    If you ever wanted to give a custom look and feel to your instance, this is now possible.
    
    Check https://docs.funkwhale.audio/configuration.html#theming if you want to know more!

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    The permission scope on the current Apache2 configuration file is too narrow, preventing thumbnails from being served.
    
    On Apache2 setups, you have to replace the following line::
    
        <Directory /srv/funkwhale/data/media/albums>
    
    with::
    
        <Directory /srv/funkwhale/data/media>
    
    You can now restart your server::
    
        sudo systemctl restart apache2
