Mopidy is an extensible music server that lets you play music from various sources, including local files, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Mopidy on the latest version of FreeBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following requirements:
The first step is to update the system to its latest version using the following command:
freebsd-update fetch install
You may be asked to reboot your machine to complete the update process.
Mopidy requires several Python packages to function correctly. You can install them using the following command:
pkg install -y python3 py38-pip py38-setuptools gstreamer1-plugins py38-gst-plugins-good py38-gst-plugins-bad py38-pylast
Once the dependencies are installed, we can now proceed to install Mopidy using pip. Run the following command to install Mopidy:
pip3 install Mopidy
After installing Mopidy, we need to configure it to play music. First, we need to create a configuration file. Run the following command to create a default configuration file:
mopidy --config /usr/local/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf config
This will create a default configuration file at /usr/local/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf. You can edit this file to add your music sources and other settings.
Once you have configured Mopidy, you can start it using the following command:
mopidy
This will start the Mopidy server and will be accessible via your web browser at localhost:6680. You can also control Mopidy using the command-line interface or various Mopidy frontend extensions.
That's it! You have successfully installed Mopidy on FreeBSD Latest. Now, you can enjoy playing music from various sources using the Mopidy server. If you encounter any issues, make sure to check the Mopidy documentation for further assistance.
