YMPD is a lightweight web-based MPD client that allows you to remotely control your music player daemon (MPD) through a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install YMPD on Fedora Server.
Before beginning the installation, make sure you meet the following requirements:
First, we need to install the dependencies required for YMPD to function properly. To do this, run the following command:
sudo dnf install git gcc gcc-c++ make libmpdclient-devel openssl-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel
Next, we need to download YMPD from its official website. To do this, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/notspooky/ympd.git
Once the download is complete, navigate to the YMPD directory using the command:
cd ympd/
Then, run the following commands to compile YMPD:
sudo make
sudo make install
Finally, start the YMPD service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start ympd.service
You can then verify that YMPD is running successfully by opening your web browser and entering the server's IP address followed by :8080/, for example, http://192.168.1.100:8080/. You should see the YMPD web interface, which will allow you to start playing your music through MPD.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed YMPD on your Fedora Server. You can now remotely control your music player daemon through the web interface.
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!
