Sure! Here's a tutorial on how to install Snapcast on FreeBSD Latest:
Before we begin, we need to install some dependencies required for Snapcast to run smoothly. To do this, open a command prompt and type the following command:
sudo pkg install -y gmake gcc sqlite3 avahi-libdns
This command will install the packages necessary for building and running Snapcast.
Next, we need to download the Snapcast source code from GitHub. To do this, type the following command:
git clone https://github.com/badaix/snapcast.git
This will create a directory "snapcast" in the current working directory.
Now, we can compile and build Snapcast. Navigate to the "snapcast" directory by typing:
cd snapcast
Then, run the following commands:
qmake
gmake
This will compile and build the Snapcast binary. It may take some time, so be patient.
Once Snapcast is built, we can install it. To do this, type the following command:
sudo gmake install
This will copy the Snapcast binary and required files to your system.
Now that Snapcast is installed, we need to configure it to fit our needs. Snapcast configuration is stored in a file called "snapserver.conf". To create this file, type:
sudo cp snapserver.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/snapserver.conf
This will create a default configuration file in "/usr/local/etc/snapserver.conf". Now, open this file with your preferred text editor and make any necessary changes to the configuration.
Finally, we're ready to run Snapcast! Type the following command to start the Snapcast server:
sudo snapserver
If everything is configured correctly, Snapcast should start running and you should be able to connect to it with a Snapcast client.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Snapcast on your FreeBSD Latest system.
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!
