In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Audioserve, an open-source audiobook server, on a Fedora Server.
Before installing Audioserve, you need to have the following:
To install Audioserve, you need to make sure that you have Python, pip, and FFmpeg installed by running the following commands:
sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip ffmpeg
The easiest way to install Audioserve on Fedora Server is by using pip.
First, you need to install the pip package installer. To do so, run the following command:
sudo dnf install python3-pip
Once pip is installed, you can use it to install Audioserve by running:
sudo pip3 install audioserve
Before starting Audioserve, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file.
Create a directory where you would like to store your audiobook files:
sudo mkdir /var/audiobooks
Create a configuration file in /etc/audioserve/audioserve.yaml by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/audioserve/audioserve.yaml
You can configure the following settings in the configuration file:
---
library_root: "/var/audiobooks"
host: "0.0.0.0"
port: 8000
Save and close the file.
After configuring Audioserve, you can now start the server by running the following command:
sudo audioserve -c /etc/audioserve/audioserve.yaml
You should see the following output:
INFO:audioserve.server:starting server, listening on http://0.0.0.0:8000
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Audioserve on your Fedora Server. Now you can access your audiobooks by visiting http://your-server-ip:8000 in your web browser.
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!
