Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first thing you need to do is update the Alpine Linux system to its latest version. To do this, run the following command:

Before you install Funkwhale, you need to create a PostgreSQL database for it. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:
sudo apk add postgresql
After installing PostgreSQL, create a new database and user for Funkwhale using the following command:
sudo su postgres
createdb funkwhale
createuser -P funkwhale
The next step is to install the latest version of Funkwhale. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale.git
cd funkwhale
After cloning the repository, create a virtual environment and install the necessary dependencies using the following commands:
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install -r requirements.txt
The final step is to configure Funkwhale. First, open the config/settings.py file using your preferred text editor and update the database settings:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'funkwhale',
'USER': 'funkwhale',
'PASSWORD': 'YOUR_DB_PASSWORD_HERE',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
Replace YOUR_DB_PASSWORD_HERE with the password you set for the Funkwhale database user.
Next, run the following command to create the necessary database tables:
python manage.py migrate
Finally, create a superuser account using the following command:
python manage.py createsuperuser
You can now start Funkwhale by running the following command:
python manage.py runserver
Funkwhale should now be accessible at http://localhost:8000.
