Supysonic is a simple and lightweight music server that allows you to stream music from your machine to any device on your network. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Supysonic on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required for Supysonic.
Open a terminal and execute the following command to update the package repository:
sudo pkg update
Once the update is complete, install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo pkg install python3 py37-cryptography py37-pillow py37-setuptools py37-protobuf py37-flask py37-requests python37
Now, we can proceed with the installation of Supysonic.
First, clone the Supysonic repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic.git
Once the cloning process is complete, move to the root directory of the Supysonic project using the following command:
cd supysonic
Next, install Supysonic by running the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
Before running Supysonic, we need to configure it to work with our music library.
Create a new configuration file using the following command:
sudo cp settings-example.ini settings.ini
Open the configuration file using a text editor such as nano or vim:
sudo nano settings.ini
By default, the music library path is set to "/path/to/music". Modify this path to point to your music library location. For example:
music_dir = /home/your_username/Music/
Save and close the configuration file.
Finally, start Supysonic using the following command:
supysonic
By default, Supysonic runs on port 8000. Thus, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to:
http://localhost:8000
That's it! You have successfully installed Supysonic music server on FreeBSD Latest.
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!
