Audioserve is a self-hosted streaming server for personal media such as music and audiobooks. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Audioserve on the latest version of FreeBSD with ease.
Before you begin, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before installing Audioserve, we need to make sure that all necessary dependencies are installed on our system. We will use the pkg package manager to install the dependencies:
Update the package repository first:
sudo pkg update
Install the required dependencies:
sudo pkg install ffmpeg node npm
After installing the dependencies, let’s download the Audioserve application by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve.git
Change directory to the audioserve directory:
cd audioserve
Install the required node modules:
npm install
Copy the default configuration file:
cp config/default.yaml config/production.yaml
Edit the production.yaml file:
vi config/production.yaml
In the file, set the following options:
Save and exit the file.
Once the configuration is finished, we can now run the Audioserve application on our FreeBSD server. To start the server, run the following command:
npm run start-production
If everything goes well, you should see the following message:
Audioserve started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Audioserve on FreeBSD latest. You can now access Audioserve by opening your browser and typing your server’s IP address or domain name, followed by the port number that you 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!
