In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Audioserve on Clear Linux latest. Audioserve is an open-source, lightweight, and easy-to-use media server designed primarily for audiobooks.
Before we start the installation of the Audioserve, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
We always recommend keeping your system up-to-date. Please update your Clear Linux latest to the latest available packages using the following command:
sudo swupd update
Before installing the Audioserve, we need to install some required dependencies to run it smoothly. Please execute the following command in your terminal to install them:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl devpkg-zlib devpkg-bzip2 curl wget git
Audioserve is written in Rust language; thus, we need to install the Rust programming language on our system. We can install it easily by executing the following command:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
This command will install the Rust and its package manager(Cargo) on your system.
To install the Audioserve on your Clear Linux latest, we need to clone the Audioserve repository from Github. Please execute the following command in your terminal to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve
After cloning the repository, we need to build the Audioserve application. Please move into the cloned repository's directory to build and install the Audioserve by running the following command:
cd audioserve
cargo build --release
After the successful build of Audioserve, we need to install it using the following command:
sudo cp target/release/audioserve /usr/bin/
Now, Audioserve is installed on your Clear Linux latest, and we need to configure it.
Create the configuration file for Audioserve using the following command:
sudo echo "audiobooks_path = \"/path/to/audiobooks\"
address = \"0.0.0.0:3000\"
db_path = \"~/.audioserve\"
title = \"Audioserve\"" > /etc/audioserve.toml
You need to replace the "/path/to/audiobooks" with the directory path where you've stored your audiobooks.
After the installation and configuration of the Audioserve, we can start it by executing the following command:
audioserve
Congratulations, Audioserve is successfully installed and started on your Clear Linux latest OS.
In this tutorial, we guide you through the steps to install the Audioserve on Clear Linux latest. You can now browse and stream your audiobooks through the Audioserve server. Please note that you need to open the port 3000 on your firewall to access it from the outside world.
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!
