Mopidy is a music server that can play music from multiple sources, including local files, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and many others. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Mopidy on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the system to the latest version. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Next, we need to install the dependencies required by Mopidy. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apk add mopidy mopidy-alsamixer mopidy-local mopidy-musicbox-webclient mopidy-youtube
After installing the dependencies, we need to configure Mopidy. To do this, create a new configuration file called mopidy.conf in the /etc/mopidy directory using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
In this file, you can specify the music sources that you want to use. Here's an example of how to configure Mopidy to use local files:
[local]
media_dir = /path/to/your/music
You can also configure Mopidy to use other music sources, such as Spotify or Soundcloud, by following the instructions in the official documentation.
After configuring Mopidy, you can start the service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mopidy
You can check whether Mopidy is running using the following command:
sudo systemctl status mopidy
If everything is working correctly, you should see a message that says "active (running)".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mopidy on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use Mopidy to play music from different sources. Refer to the official documentation for more information on how to use Mopidy.
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!
