YMPD is a lightweight and powerful web-based MPD client that allows you to control your music collection from any device with a web browser. Here's how to install it on FreeBSD Latest:
Before installing YMPD on FreeBSD Latest, you need to ensure that your system is up to date and that you have root privileges. You can update your system using the following commands:
$ sudo pkg update
$ sudo pkg upgrade
YMPD requires an MPD server to function properly. If you have not already installed the MPD server, do so by running the following command:
$ sudo pkg install mpd
To install YMPD on FreeBSD Latest, you can use the following command:
$ sudo pkg install ympd
Next, you need to configure YMPD to work with your MPD server. To do this, edit the /usr/local/etc/ympd.conf file with your preferred text editor, such as vim or nano:
$ sudo vim /usr/local/etc/ympd.conf
In this file, you will need to specify the IP address and port number of your MPD server. Here's an example configuration:
mpd_host "127.0.0.1"
mpd_port "6600"
Save and close the file when you're finished.
You can now start the YMPD service using the following command:
$ sudo service ympd start
You can now access YMPD by opening a web browser and navigating to the following address:
http://{{your-IP-address}}:8080/
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured YMPD on FreeBSD Latest. Now you can control your music collection from any device with a web browser.
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!
