Funkwhale is a free and open-source music streaming service that allows users to share and discover music. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Funkwhale on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Funkwhale, you need to install some required packages in your FreeBSD system. Open the FreeBSD terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg install -y postgresql-server py38-pip python38 libxslt libffi libxml2 libyaml libpqxx ffmpeg redis
Funkwhale is deployed using Docker containers, so you need to install Docker and Docker Compose on your FreeBSD system. To do this, run the following commands in the FreeBSD terminal:
sudo pkg install -y docker docker-compose
Make sure to enable the Docker service so that it starts automatically at system boot:
sudo sysrc docker_enable="YES"
Start the Docker service:
sudo service docker start
To install Funkwhale, you need to clone the latest version of the project from the official repository. Run the following command to clone the project:
git clone https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale.git
Change the directory to the Funkwhale source code directory:
cd funkwhale
Now, you need to build the Funkwhale Docker images using Docker Compose. Run the following command:
sudo ENV=prod docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f production.yml build
After the build process is completed, you can start the Funkwhale services using the following command:
sudo ENV=prod docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f production.yml up -d
This will start the Funkwhale services in detached mode. Wait for a few minutes to complete the startup process.
After starting the Funkwhale services, you need to create an admin user and set up the database. Run the following command to create a superuser account:
sudo ENV=prod docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f production.yml exec backend python manage.py createsuperuser
Follow the prompt and enter the required information like username, email, and password.
Next, you need to migrate the database schema by running the following command:
sudo ENV=prod docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f production.yml exec backend python manage.py migrate
This will create the necessary database tables and relations.
Finally, you can connect to the Funkwhale web interface by opening your favorite web browser and entering your server's IP address or domain name followed by the port 80. For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.1.100, you can connect to Funkwhale by entering the following URL:
http://192.168.1.100:80
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Funkwhale on FreeBSD Latest. You can start uploading and streaming your music library, create playlists, and discover new music with Funkwhale.
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!
