GNU FM is a free software program that allows users to create their own online radio stations. This tutorial will guide you through installing GNU FM on Debian Latest.
Before starting the installation process, there are a few prerequisites that need to be met:
Open the terminal and run the following command to update and upgrade the system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Once the system is updated, run the following command to install the necessary packages:
sudo apt install apache2 git mysql-server php php-all-dev php-cli php-gd php-mbstring php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-fpm libapache2-mod-php
Run the following command to download the latest version of GNU FM from the official website:
git clone https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime.git
Once downloaded, navigate to the directory where the files were extracted and run the installation script:
cd libretime
sudo ./install -fiap
This script will prompt you to enter the MySQL root password, and other installation details. Follow the prompts until the installation is complete.
Create a new Apache configuration file for GNU FM by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/libretime.conf
Add the following content to the configuration file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/libretime/web
<Directory /var/www/libretime/web>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.
Enable the configuration file by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite libretime.conf
Then, disable the default Apache site by running:
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
Finally, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open a web browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com. You should be redirected to the GNU FM setup page where you can create your first radio station.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNU FM on Debian Latest.
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!
