Volumio is an open-source music player that allows you to play music from various sources. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Volumio on Elementary OS.
Head to the Volumio website and click on the download button. Choose your system architecture, i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your system architecture.
Open a terminal window and run the following command to install necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https -y
This will update the apt cache and install apt-transport-https, allowing us to add the Volumio repo.
Now we need to add the Volumio repository to our system. Run the following command:
curl -s https://apt.volumio.org/packages/release/keyfile.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt.volumio.org/$(lsb_release -ds | awk '{print tolower($0)}')/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/volumio.list
This will add the GPG key for the Volumio repo and add the necessary entry to your sources list.
Now that the repository has been added, we can install Volumio. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install volumio -y
This command will install Volumio and all its dependencies.
After the installation is complete, you can access Volumio by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost:3000
You can also access it by entering your system’s IP address instead of “localhost”.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Volumio on Elementary OS. You can now start using it for all your music needs. If you face any issues or errors during the installation, feel free to refer to the Volumio documentation or reach out to the support community.
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!
