Prerequisites

Before installing Airsonic Advanced, you need to have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Docker

To install Airsonic Advanced on MXLinux Latest, we need to install Docker. To do so, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io

Once Docker is installed, you can verify the installation by running the following command:

Step 2: Create a Directory for Data Storage

To store the data generated by Airsonic Advanced, create a new directory. You can do this using the following command:

--name airsonic \
airsonic-advanced/airsonic-advanced:latest

This command will download the latest version of Airsonic Advanced and run it in a Docker container. The -d flag tells Docker to run the container in the background.

The -p 4040:4040 flag maps port 4040 on the container to port 4040 on the host, allowing you to access the Airsonic Advanced web interface from your browser.

The -v /opt/airsonic-advanced:/var/airsonic flag mounts the /opt/airsonic-advanced directory we created earlier as a volume inside the container. This will allow us to store the data generated by Airsonic Advanced persistently.
