Multiple rooms Jamulus Mac OS

[TheRico12]

Hi, I'm trying to setup multiple rooms on my Jamulus server that I'm running on my Mac. I found a couple of guides for Linux cloud based solution, but nothing for Mac OS.

Thanks in advance

Hi - you can set up multiple servers on the command line with the --port option. So to have one on port 22125 for example:

/Applications/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/Jamulus -s --port 22125 -n -e rock.jamulus.io:22424 -o "yourServerName1;yourCity;[country ID]"

You will need to tell people to use that port number when they connect though (eg xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22125) and need port forwards for both servers of course. See this page for the other options.

I think, but I'm not sure, that you may get port-forwarding or NAT issues with some routers when you do this, but give it a go.

There is also the method of creating a custom directory server too, but that's only worth the effort if you want loads of rooms (and have loads of bandwidth for them).

@gilgongo Thank you so much! Everything is working, other than that when I launch a new instance and specify --serverinfo [name];[city];[locale value], they don't remain stored in the GUI, I have to insert them manually. Where am I going wrong?

Thank you again for your precious help!

I think you may need to specify --inifile (see https://jamulus.io/wiki/Command-Line-Options) when you start each server, so that they can store their settings in a separate file. It doesn't matter where you store them BTW.

@gilgongo sorry, I’m a bit dam...I think I have understood, but could you please give me an example of it? So I could type —inifile and then the destination where I want to save the file?

[gilgongo]

Yes, so if you create a directory somewhere and set the path to it like this:

/Applications/Jamulus.app/Contents/MacOS/Jamulus -s --inifile /some/path/here/server-1.ini

Then when the server starts, all its config will be stored in that file.
