Snapcast is an open-source multiroom audio player which allows you to sync multiple players on a network. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Snapcast on Fedora Server Latest.
To follow this tutorial, you will require:
Before we install Snapcast, we need to install some dependencies required for building it. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install git alsa-lib-devel ncurses-devel gcc-c++ make libtool
Next, we will clone the Snapcast repository from GitHub. Run the following command to do that:
git clone https://github.com/badaix/snapcast.git
Navigate to the Snapcast directory and run the following command to install build dependencies:
cd snapcast && make
Once the dependencies are installed, run the following command to build and install Snapcast:
make && sudo make install
This will install Snapcast on your Fedora Server Latest.
To start Snapserver, run the following command:
snapserver
Next, we will configure Snapclient to connect to the Snapserver. To do that, open the Snapclient configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/snapclient.conf
Change the hostname parameter to match that of your Snapserver's hostname or IP address.
hostname = <hostname or IP address>
Save and close the file.
Finally, we will start the Snapclient by running the following command:
snapclient
And that's it! You have successfully installed and configured Snapcast on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now enjoy multiroom audio sync with Snapcast.
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!
