Rygel is an open-source UPnP and DLNA media server that allows users to easily share audio, video, and images with other devices over a local network. Here's how to install Rygel on Manjaro using the command line interface.
Open the terminal by clicking on the terminal icon on your desktop or by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + T keys simultaneously.
Before installing Rygel, update your system by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the update to complete.
To install Rygel, execute the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S rygel
This command will download and install Rygel and its dependencies on your system. Enter your password when prompted and wait for the installation to complete.
Once you've installed Rygel, you can configure it to suit your needs. To do this, you'll need to edit the Rygel configuration file using a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/rygel.conf
This will open the Rygel configuration file in the nano text editor.
Here, you can make changes to Rygel's settings, such as enabling or disabling certain media types, setting the media sharing directories or specifying the maximum number of clients, etc.
Now that you've installed and configured Rygel, you can start the service by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl start rygel.service
This command will start the Rygel service on your system.
If you want Rygel to start automatically every time you boot your system, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable rygel.service
That's it! By following these steps, you should now have successfully installed Rygel on your Manjaro system. With Rygel, you'll be able to share your media files easily with other devices on your local network.
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!
