Rygel is a UPnP/DLNA media server that allows you to stream media files from your computer to other devices on your network, such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Rygel on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before installing any new software, it is always recommended to update the system packages to the latest version. To do this, run the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
This will update the existing packages and install any available updates.
To install the latest version of Rygel, run the following command in the terminal:
apk add rygel
This will install the Rygel package along with all the required dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure Rygel to start automatically when the system boots up. To do this, run the following command:
rc-update add rygel default
This will add Rygel to the default runlevel and start the service automatically at boot time.
To start Rygel manually, run the following command:
/etc/init.d/rygel start
This will start the Rygel service and make it available for other devices on your network.
To verify that Rygel is installed and running correctly, open a web browser on your computer and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:8200/
This will open the Rygel web interface, which allows you to configure and manage the media server. If Rygel is working correctly, you should see a list of media files on the web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rygel on Alpine Linux Latest. Now you can start streaming your media files to other devices on your network.
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!
