Choosing a Server Type
Home > Running a Server > Server Types
You can run your server in one of three "modes":
Your server will be listed in the central server list that clients use by default. Musicians can then discover and connect to your server.
This mode is activated by checking the "Register my server..." checkbox and (optionally) entering your server information.
When running without the GUI, the following would configure a public server (see Command Line Options):
Jamulus --nogui --server \
--centralserver jamulus.fischvolk.de \
--serverinfo "yourServerName;yourCity;[country ID]"
You must give musicians your server address to connect their clients to. See also Running a Server at Home for what needs to be done to enable others to connect to your server.
This mode is activated by un-checking "Register my server...".
When running without the GUI, the following would configure a public server (see Command Line Options):
Jamulus --nogui --server
A type of private server for which musicians must enter the address of your server in their Settings in their client’s "Central Server Address:" field. They will then see a Connection Setup list which is managed by your server. Other private servers can also register at your server so they can show up in that list. However, at the time of writing, there is no clear reason for running in this mode.
See also Command Line Options for other parameters you can set.
