Configure Airsonic running standalone

How to add Java parameters

When running the standalone package, add -D${PARAMETER}=${ARGUMENT} to the java command line right before the -jar argument.

Here is an example for linux (windows users will want to use their OS specific path syntax i.e. C:\\your\path):

java -Dairsonic.home=/var/airsonic -jar airsonic.war

Common parameters

Server port

Parameter = server.port

Example = -Dserver.port=8080

Changes the port that the standalone package listens on.

Default: 8080

NOTE: This property only applies for spring boot/standalone config.

Server address

Parameter = server.address

Example = -Dserver.address=127.0.0.1

Changes the address that the standalone package listens on.

Default: not set and listens to all addresses

NOTE: This property only applies for spring boot/standalone config.

Context path

Parameter = server.context-path

Example = -Dserver.context-path=/audio

NOTE: Please do not add the last / in the context path

Changes the URL path that the standalone package listens on.

Default: not set and listens at /

NOTE: This property only applies for spring boot/standalone config.

Airsonic home

Parameter = airsonic.home

Exemple = -Dairsonic.home=/var/airsonic

Dictates the folder where Airsonic will store its logs, settings, transcode binaries, index and database if using the default H2 database. As such it is recommended to backup this folder.

Default: /var/airsonic

Java memory allocation

Example = -Xmx512m

Here we will allocate 512 MB of memory to Airsonic’s Java process.

NOTE: Airsonic has been observed to run quite well for a single user with only 200 MB and an Intel Atom C2350.
