- **DeviceInfo.xml**: Device metadata and capabilities
- **config_backup_*.xml**: Configuration backups before migration
- **presets.xml**: Device-specific preset configurations
#### Account Data (`accounts/default/`)
- **Sources.xml**: Configured music service providers
- **Presets.xml**: Cross-device preset synchronization
- **Recents.xml**: Recent playback history
#### Statistics (`stats/`)
- **usage/**: Device usage analytics and patterns
- **error/**: Error logs and diagnostic information
#### Events (`events/`)
- **device_events_*.log**: Device event history and debugging logs
### Data Management
#### Backup Strategy
```bash
# Manual backup
cp -r data/ backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)/
# Automated backup (cron example)
0 2 * * * cp -r /path/to/data/ /backup/soundtouch-$(date +\%Y\%m\%d)/
```
#### Data Migration
```bash
# Moving to new server
tar czf soundtouch-data.tar.gz data/
# Transfer to new server
tar xzf soundtouch-data.tar.gz
```
#### Cleanup
```bash
# Clean old event logs (older than 30 days)
find data/events/ -name "*.log" -mtime +30 -delete
# Clean old statistics (older than 90 days)
find data/stats/ -name "*.json" -mtime +90 -delete
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Device Not Discovered
```bash
# Check network connectivity
ping 192.168.1.100
# Trigger manual discovery
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/setup/discover
# Check device accessibility
curl http://192.168.1.100:8090/info
```
#### Migration Failures
```bash
# Check SSH connectivity
ssh-keyscan 192.168.1.100
# Get migration summary
curl http://localhost:8000/setup/migration-summary/192.168.1.100
# Verify device configuration
curl http://192.168.1.100:8090/info
```
#### Service Connectivity Issues
```bash
# Test local service endpoints
curl http://localhost:8000/health
curl http://localhost:8000/bmx/registry/v1/services
curl http://localhost:8000/marge/streaming/sourceproviders
```
### Debug Mode
Enable debug logging for detailed troubleshooting:
```bash
LOG_PROXY_BODY=true REDACT_PROXY_LOGS=false soundtouch-service
```
### Log Analysis
```bash
# Monitor service logs
tail -f /var/log/soundtouch-service.log
# Analyze proxy traffic
grep "PROXY" /var/log/soundtouch-service.log
# Check device events
ls -la data/events/
```
## Credits & Inspiration
This service implementation is based on and inspired by several excellent community projects:
### SoundCork
- **Project**: [SoundCork](https://github.com/deborahgu/soundcork)
- **Authors**: Deborah Gu and contributors
- **Contribution**: The architecture and service emulation approach in this Go implementation is heavily based on SoundCork's pioneering Python implementation. SoundCork provided the foundation for understanding Bose's service architecture and migration strategies.
### ÜberBöse API
- **Project**: [ÜberBöse API](https://github.com/julius-d/ueberboese-api)
- **Author**: Julius D.
- **Contribution**: Advanced API endpoint discovery and implementation details that helped make this service more complete and robust.
We are grateful to these projects for paving the way and providing the research foundation that made this comprehensive service implementation possible.
## Advanced Usage
### Custom Service Integration
```go
// Example: Custom BMX service handler
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/go-chi/chi/v5"
)
func customBMXHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Custom BMX service logic
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
w.Write([]byte(`{"custom": "service"}`))
}
func main() {
r := chi.NewRouter()
r.Get("/bmx/custom/endpoint", customBMXHandler)
http.ListenAndServe(":8000", r)
}
```
### Integration with Home Assistant
```yaml
# configuration.yaml
soundtouch:
- host: 192.168.1.100
port: 8090
name: "Living Room Speaker"
rest:
- resource: "http://localhost:8000/setup/devices"
scan_interval: 60
sensor:
- name: "SoundTouch Devices"
value_template: "{{ value_json | length }}"
```
### Monitoring & Alerting
```bash
# Health check script
#!/bin/bash
response=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8000/health)
if [ $response != "200" ]; then
echo "SoundTouch service is down!" | mail -s "Alert" admin@example.com
fi
```
## Security Considerations
- **Network Security**: The service binds to all interfaces by default. Consider using `BIND_ADDR=127.0.0.1` for localhost-only access.
- **SSH Access**: Migration requires SSH access to devices. Ensure your network security policies allow this.
- **Proxy Logging**: Disable `REDACT_PROXY_LOGS` only in development environments.
- **Data Protection**: The data directory contains device configurations and usage patterns. Secure appropriately.
## Performance Tuning
### Resource Usage
- **Memory**: ~50MB baseline + ~5MB per discovered device
- **CPU**: Minimal during steady state, ~10% during discovery/migration
- **Disk**: ~1MB per device configuration + logs
### Scaling Considerations
```bash
# For many devices, increase discovery interval
DISCOVERY_INTERVAL=10m soundtouch-service
# For high-traffic environments, consider reverse proxy
nginx -> soundtouch-service instances
```
