KooZic is a music management software that helps you organize and play your music collection. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install KooZic on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Start by installing the dependencies required to run KooZic. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apk add --no-cache build-base python3-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev ffmpeg postgresql-dev
This command will install the necessary packages for compiling and running KooZic as well as the PostgreSQL database adapter.
PIP is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. To install PIP on Alpine Linux, run the following command:
sudo apk add --no-cache py3-pip
This command will install PIP for Python 3.
Once the dependencies and PIP are installed, we can proceed with the installation of KooZic. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pip3 install koozic
This command will download and install KooZic along with its dependencies.
KooZic uses PostgreSQL as its database. We need to create a database and user for KooZic. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo su postgres
createdb koozic_db
createuser -P koozic_user
This will create a new database named koozic_db and a new user named koozic_user.
Next, we need to create a configuration file for KooZic. Create a new file named koozic.yaml in the /etc/ directory and add the following content:
db:
uri: postgresql://koozic_user:password@localhost/koozic_db
server:
host: 0.0.0.0
port: 8080
library:
path: /mnt/music
Make sure to replace password with the password you set for the koozic_user in Step 4. Also, set the library.path to the path where your music collection is stored.
Finally, we can start the KooZic service using the following command:
sudo koozic-server -c /etc/koozic.yaml
This will start the KooZic service and make it accessible on port 8080. You can access the KooZic web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your_server_ip:8080/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed KooZic on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start organizing and playing your music collection using KooZic.
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!
