I see this shell variable used in many example configs. But I have not seen any explanation as to its purpose, or use. A general search of the term does not yield anything other than its use as a variable, not its setting.
So where should it be set for the Server Mopidy, and what to?
Is it the local path to the music (so the same as manually setting it in the config)?
Unfortunately, installing from the Pimoroni setup page and then following the Mopidy ‘step-by-step’ raspberry pi installation seems to leave the non-initiated with several holes in the installation process. This is one, another is the linking of /etc/asound.conf (which doesn’t exist at this point) etc.
My set up is,
