That’s it. You have successfully installed Audioserve on EndeavourOS. You can now start streaming your audio files using Audioserve.

In order to access the web interface and stream tracks we have to manually configure a reverse proxy server.

Using reverse proxy server to access the web interface

In order to access the web interface of Audioserve, we need to manually configure a reverse proxy server.

We can use Nginx or Caddy2 as a reverse proxy.

Using Nginx

1. Install Nginx with the following command:

sudo pacman -S nginx

2. Backup the default Nginx configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.bak

3. Create a new Nginx configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

4. Paste the following content into the file:

http {
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name your-domain.com;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        }
    }
}

5. Run the following command to start Nginx:

sudo systemctl start nginx

6. Open your web browser and go to http://your-domain.com. You should be able to access the Audioserve web interface.

Using Caddy2

1. Install Caddy2 with the following command:

sudo pacman -S caddy

2. Backup the default Caddy configuration file:

sudo cp /etc/caddy/caddy.conf /etc/caddy/caddy.conf.bak

3. Create a new Caddy configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/caddy/caddy.conf

4. Paste the following content into the file:

your-domain.com {
  reverse_proxy localhost:3000
}

5. Run the following command to start Caddy2:

sudo systemctl start caddy

6. Open your web browser and go to https://your-domain.com. You should be able to access the Audioserve web interface.

To make sure that nginx or caddy2 starts everytime when booting the system run:

sudo systemctl enable caddy
sudo systemctl enable nginx 

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!
