Supysonic is a free and open source web-based media streaming server that allows you to stream your music and videos to multiple devices. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Supysonic on Debian Latest.
Before starting this tutorial, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing Supysonic, you need to install the dependencies required for it.
You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel python3-pil python3-lxml python3-numpy ffmpeg
Once the dependencies are installed on your system, you can then clone the Supysonic repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic.git
This will create a directory named supysonic with all the required files in it.
Once you have cloned the repository, you need to install Supysonic using pip. You can do this by running the following command from the supysonic directory:
cd supysonic
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
After installing Supysonic on your system, you need to configure it.
You can do this by creating a configuration file named supysonic.conf in the supysonic folder. You can copy the sample configuration file supysonic.conf.sample to supysonic.conf and make the necessary changes to it.
cp -p supysonic.conf.sample supysonic.conf
nano supysonic.conf
You need to specify the following information in the supysonic.conf file:
supysonic_username and supysonic_password for web interface authentication.music_folder - the path to the music directory.transcoding_quality - the bitrate to be used for transcoded audio.Once you have configured Supysonic, you can start it up by running the following command from the supysonic directory:
python3 supysonic.py
This will start the Supysonic daemon and you can access it by navigating to http://<hostname-or-ip-address>:8000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Supysonic on your Debian Latest server. You can now stream your media files to multiple devices using Supysonic.
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!
