Debian - MiniDLNA, a cautionary tale

Posted by Phil Wyett on
If you wish to use MiniDLNA on Debian using the distribution provided package, please be aware of the following.

Due to the poor maintenance and overall quality of the package a serious issue remains unresolved. The systemd service file provided by the package does not wait for network connections to be ready before it attempts to start. It should really wait for network-online.target before starting.

You can always edit the service file and fix this issue if you wish to use the package.

Hopefully this helps those who face this issue.
