mStream is a self-hosted music streaming server that allows you to stream your music library from anywhere, on any device. Installing mStream on Alpine Linux is a quick and simple process. This tutorial will guide you through the process step by step.
Before we start, you need to have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to update the package manager on the server by running the following command:
sudo apk update
Next, we need to install Node.js, which is required to run mStream. Run the command below to install Node.js:
sudo apk add nodejs
We will now download mStream from its official website and extract it using the following commands:
wget https://github.com/IrosTheBeggar/mStream/releases/download/v0.8.2/mstream-linux-x64.zip
unzip mstream-linux-x64.zip -d mstream
mStream requires FFmpeg to be installed on the server to be able to stream music. Install FFmpeg with the following command:
sudo apk add ffmpeg
Finally, we are ready to start mStream. Navigate to the directory where you extracted mStream in Step 3 and run the following command:
./mstream
You should see the following message in your terminal:
mStream is now running on http://localhost:3000
Now that mStream is running, open your web browser and go to the following URL:
http://<server-ip>:3000
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of your server.
You should now be able to access mStream's web interface and start uploading and streaming your music library.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed mStream on Alpine Linux latest. Now, you can stream your music library from anywhere, on any device using mStream.
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!
