KooZic is a music management application for Unix and Unix-like systems that enables you to manage and play your music collection. Follow the steps below to install KooZic on OpenBSD.
To start, install some required packages that are necessary for KooZic to function properly. Open your terminal and run the following command to install the packages:
# pkg_add php7-mysqli php7-gettext php7-gd mediainfo ksh
Next, create a new MySQL database for KooZic. You can do this by running the mysql_secure_installation command on the terminal. Follow the prompts to set up the database.
Once you have set up the database, make a note of the MySQL username and password that you used to configure it.
Download the latest version of KooZic from the official website https://koozic.net/. Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the archive to your web server document root directory. Change directory to the extracted KooZic directory.
# tar -zxvf koozic_latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs/
# cd /var/www/htdocs/koozic-latest
Copy the file config-sample.inc.php to config.inc.php:
# cp config-sample.inc.php config.inc.php
Edit the newly copied config.inc.php file to reflect your MySQL configuration:
# vi config.inc.php
Update the following lines with the details that you noted from MySQL configuration:
define("MYSQL_SERVERNAME","localhost");
define("MYSQL_USERNAME","username");
define("MYSQL_PASSWORD","password");
define("MYSQL_DBNAME","koozic");
Save the file and exit.
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to the URL http://yourserver/koozic-latest/. You should see the KooZic login screen.
Enter the default username and password provided in the installation guide:
Username: admin
Password: koozic-admin
Once you have logged in, you will need to add your music collection to KooZic by following the steps outlined in the KooZic documentation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed KooZic on OpenBSD.
