Audioserve is an open-source audio server that allows you to stream audio files from your personal library to various devices. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Audioserve on Alpine Linux.
Before starting the installation process, you need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, ensure that the package manager is up to date by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
To run Audioserve on Alpine Linux, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apk add ffmpeg mpv xdg-utils
Audioserve is written in Rust, so you need to install Rust to compile the source code. To install Rust, run the following command:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Next, clone the Audioserve repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the directory using the following command:
cd audioserve
Now, to compile and install Audioserve on your system, run the following command:
cargo install --path .
After the installation is complete, you need to configure Audioserve to use your music library. To do this, create a configuration file named config.toml
in the same directory where you cloned Audioserve. Here is an example of the config.toml
file:
[library]
path = "/path/to/your/music/library"
[http]
bind_to = "0.0.0.0:3000" # replace with your preferred address
base_url = "/"
cookie_secret = "some_long_random_string"
Ensure that the path
variable in the [library]
section is set to the path where your music library is present.
Finally, start Audioserve by running the following command:
audioserve -c config.toml
Now that you have Audioserve installed and configured on your Alpine Linux system, you can stream your music library to various devices using a web browser or a dedicated client.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
