Mopidy is a music streaming server which enables you to play music from various sources, such as Spotify, SoundCloud or local media files. Musicbox on the other hand is a ready-to-go web interface which sits on top of Mopidy, providing a user-friendly way to control the server remotely. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and configuring Mopidy and MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS.
Before you begin, please make sure that you have:
To install Mopidy and MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS, follow these steps:
Log in to your Fedora CoreOS system as the root user.
Install the Mopidy package.
dnf install mopidy
Install the MusicBox package.
dnf install mopidy-musicbox-webclient
Start Mopidy service.
systemctl start mopidy
Enable Mopidy service.
systemctl enable mopidy
You have now successfully installed Mopidy MusicBox on your Fedora CoreOS system!
By default, MusicBox will attempt to use the ALSA audio driver. However, since Fedora CoreOS uses PulseAudio as its sound system, we need to tweak the configuration of Mopidy to make it use PulseAudio instead.
Here's how to do that:
Create the configuration file for Mopidy.
touch /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
Edit the configuration file and add the following lines:
[audio]
mixer = pulse
output = pulsesink
Save the configuration file and exit the text editor.
Restart Mopidy.
systemctl restart mopidy
That's it! You can now access MusicBox by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<server_ip_address>:6680/.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Mopidy MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS. You can now stream music from various sources, and control it remotely using MusicBox. Enjoy your favorite tunes!
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!
