In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps required to install Groove Basin on OpenBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your OpenBSD system:
Open your terminal and run the following command to clone the Groove Basin repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/andrewrk/groovebasin.git
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the directory where you have cloned the repository and install the dependencies using the npm command as follows:
cd groovebasin
npm install
Next, you need to configure Groove Basin to specify the location of your music library. To do this, create a groovebasin.conf file in the root of your cloned repository using the following command:
nano groovebasin.conf
Add the following lines to the groovebasin.conf file:
[server]
port = 16242
music_directory = /path/to/your/music/library
Make sure to replace /path/to/your/music/library with the actual path to your music library.
Save and exit the file.
After configuring Groove Basin, you can start it using the following command:
npm start
This will start Groove Basin on port 16242, as specified in the configuration file.
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:16242 to access the Groove Basin web interface.
You can now log in to Groove Basin, browse your music library, and start playing your favorite tunes!
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Groove Basin on OpenBSD. With Groove Basin, you can easily stream your music collection to any device over the web.
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!
