Maloja is a self-hosted music streaming server that can stream your favorite music tracks from your local library to any device over the internet. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Maloja on the latest version of EndeavourOS.
Before starting the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
The following dependencies are required to install Maloja on EndeavourOS:
sudo pacman -S git ffmpeg nodejs npm base-devel
Clone the Maloja repository from GitHub and navigate to the project's directory:
git clone https://github.com/krateng/maloja.git
cd maloja
Install Maloja by running the following commands:
npm install
npm run build
Maloja requires a configuration file for the server to function properly. Create a new configuration file and configure it:
cp config.example.mjs config.mjs
nano config.mjs
In the configuration file, update the following fields:
dbName: Change the name of the database that Maloja uses.jwtSecret: Set a non-default JSON Web Token secret.Save and exit the file.
Start the server by running the following command:
npm run start
By default, Maloja listens to port 4000. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4000 to access Maloja's GUI.
Maloja has been successfully installed on EndeavourOS, and you can now stream music using Maloja. You can customize Maloja by creating playlists, and you can also add more music to the library by adding files to the music directory specified in the configuration file.
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!
