Maloja is a music server for MPD (Music Player Daemon) that allows you to stream your music to any capable device. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing Maloja on MXLinux Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure you have:
Maloja requires several dependencies to function correctly. Use the following command in the terminal to install them:
sudo apt-get install git libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libevent-dev libjansson-dev libmpdclient-dev libswresample-dev libswscale-dev pkg-config
Next, you need to download the Maloja files from Github. Use the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/krateng/maloja.git
This will clone the Maloja repository to your local machine.
Now that you have the Maloja files on your machine, navigate to the newly created 'maloja' directory and configure it by running the following command:
cd maloja
./configure
This command will configure the Maloja build system.
Next, compile the program by running the 'make' command as follows:
make
This command will compile Maloja and generate the executable file.
The final step is to install the Maloja executable file. Use the following command in the terminal:
sudo make install
This command will copy the Maloja executable file to your system, making it available to use.
You are now ready to start Maloja. To run the server, navigate to the 'maloja' directory and use the following command:
maloja
This will start the Maloja server on your machine.

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!
