Funkwhale is a self-hosted music streaming server capable of streaming and organizing music in a simple way. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Funkwhale on Clear Linux Latest.
Follow these steps to begin the installation process:
Before we start, you must have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Funkwhale, update your system packages to the latest version by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo swupd update
This command will update all software packages to their latest versions.
Funkwhale requires Docker to run, so you need to install it on your system. Run the following command in the terminal to install Docker:
sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic
This command installs Containers Basic module on your system, which includes Docker.
You also need to install Docker Compose, a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Run the following command in the terminal to install Docker Compose:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
These commands download and install Docker Compose on your system.
Now, clone the Funkwhale repository by running the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/docker.git
This command clones the Funkwhale Docker repository to your system.
Edit the .env file in the Funkwhale directory by running the command:
nano ~/docker/.env
Add the following lines:
FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME=<your-domain-name>
FUNKWHALE_SECRET_KEY=<your-secret-key>
Replace <your-domain-name> and <your-secret-key> with your own values.
Now that you have everything set up, start Funkwhale by running the following command in the terminal:
cd ~/docker
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command starts Funkwhale in the background (denoted by the -d flag).
After starting Funkwhale, create a superuser account to manage the server using the command:
sudo docker exec -it funkwhale-worker python manage.py createsuperuser
Enter your desired username, email address, and password when prompted.
Finally, access Funkwhale by navigating to http://<your-domain-name> in your web browser. This step only works if your domain name points to your server.
If you followed these steps correctly, you should see the Funkwhale login screen. Enter your superuser credentials to log in and start using Funkwhale.
In conclusion, installing Funkwhale on Clear Linux Latest is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined above, you can set up your own music streaming server and start streaming your favorite tunes.
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!
