Hi Michael,
I've been surprised that no-one has asked for this until now.

I can build a test version for Linux Intel x64. You would need to install it from the Linux command line in the same way as the Linux x86 version (see the installation page on the MinimServer website). Are you OK with doing this?

Hi Simon,

I'am looking forward gladly for this version to test it
and give you a reply.

Thanky you very much !

Best Regards
Michael

The test downloads are available now for MinimServer and MinimWatch. You'll need to use 64-bit Java as well.

Please let me know whether this runs OK on the Thecus.

Excellent just what I needed to run on a headless Ubuntu Server 64 bits I installed 2 days ago.
Seems to work just fine.

Side question: if it possible to restrict the network interfaces minimserver will bind to ?

Thanks for the feedback. I'll publish this as an official release soon.

Not at present. ohNet has an option for a device to listen on a single subnet only. Would this be useful to you?

Yes, for a very specific usage as I'm building a BubbleUPnPServer public demo server, that wraps minimserver, and I'd like miniserver to bind to 127.0.0.1 only. I can certainly work something out using iptables though.

I found a harmless Exception triggerable when there is no contentDir prop it seems (I had it happen also when typing the props command):

There will be support for this in the next release.

Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed in the next release.

I didn't know about the java.awt.headless property. FYI, there's a MinimServer property you can use to get the same effect:

java -jar ../lib/minimserver.jar --set watch.view=console

I had to use java.awt.headless because I didn't know about watch.view, otherwise minimserver try to launch the Swing tray and it fails if X is not installed. Maybe this Exception can be catched, automatically falling back to a headless setup (without requiring either java.awt.headless or watch.view which both work).

I should be able to handle this error as you suggest, with a message at the console saying this has happened and the exception stack trace written to the log. I'll put this on the list of things to do.
