Mopidy is a music server that allows you to stream music from various sources such as Spotify, SoundCloud, or local files. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Mopidy on NetBSD.
Before installing Mopidy, you need to make sure that your NetBSD system has the necessary packages installed. Start by updating the package database:
sudo pkgin update
Next, make sure that the following dependencies are installed:
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pkgin install py38-gstreamer1-plugins-good py38-gstreamer1-plugins-bad py38-gstreamer1-plugins-ugly py38-gst-libav
Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies, we can proceed with the installation of Mopidy. Follow these steps:
sudo pkgin install py38-pip
sudo pip install Mopidy
sudo systemctl start mopidy
By default, Mopidy uses port 6680 for the web interface. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to your NetBSD system's IP address followed by ":6680" (e.g. http://192.168.1.100:6680).
To configure Mopidy, you can create a configuration file at /usr/pkg/etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf. You can find a sample configuration file on the Mopidy documentation page. Make sure to restart the Mopidy service after making changes to the configuration file:
sudo systemctl restart mopidy
In this tutorial, we have installed Mopidy on NetBSD and learned how to configure it. You can now start streaming music to your heart's content!
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!
