Audioserve is an open-source audio server that allows you to stream your music library on various devices. In this tutorial, we will focus on installing Audioserve on NetBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisite:
To install Audioserve, we need to first install certain dependencies. Run the following command as root to update your package repository.
# pkgin update
Once the package repository is updated, you can proceed with installing the required dependencies:
# pkgin install ffmpeg nodejs
We need to download Audioserve from the GitHub repository. You can do this by running the following command:
# git clone https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve.git
This will clone the Audioserve repository to the current directory.
We can now install Audioserve by executing the following command inside the Audioserve directory:
# cd audioserve
# npm install
This will install all the necessary packages and dependencies required by Audioserve.
We need to run Audioserve in the background as a service, so that it can be accessed from other devices on the network.
To run Audioserve in the background as a service, execute the following command:
# npm run start:service
You can then check whether Audioserve is running or not by opening the following URL in your browser:
http://localhost:3000
If everything is set up correctly, you should see the Audioserve dashboard in your browser.
In this tutorial, we have installed Audioserve on NetBSD. You can now upload your music library to Audioserve and start streaming it on your various devices.
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!
