KooZic is a free and open-source music management software that allows you to manage your music library, create playlists, and play music through a simple and intuitive web-based interface. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install KooZic on Elementary OS.
Before installing KooZic, make sure your system is up to date by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
KooZic requires some dependencies in order to run on your system. To install these dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install python3 python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip \
libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev ffmpeg libavcodec-extra libavformat-extra
To install KooZic, you need to download its source code from its GitLab repository. Run the following commands to install git and clone the KooZic repository:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://framagit.org/SebKuzminsky/koozic.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the koozic directory:
cd koozic
Now install the required Python packages by running the following command:

KooZic uses SQLite as its database backend. To configure the database, you need to create a new database file. Run the following command to create a new database file:
touch koozic.db
After creating the database file, run the following command to initialize the database schema:
python3 koozic.py --create-db
To start KooZic, run the following command in your terminal:
python3 koozic.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
This command starts KooZic on the IP address 0.0.0.0 and port 8080. If you want to change the IP address or port number, you can modify these parameters accordingly.
Open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/
This will open the KooZic web interface, where you can start managing your music library.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install KooZic on Elementary OS. Now you can start managing your music library with ease using KooZic.
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!
