Navidrome is a lightweight music server that allows users to stream and organize their music in a simple and easy-to-use interface. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing Navidrome on OpenBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation of Navidrome, you will need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, we need to install the Git and Go packages. Run the following command to install both packages:
$ sudo pkg_add git go
Next, we will download and install the latest Navidrome release from Github. Run the following commands to clone the Navidrome repository and build it:
$ git clone https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome.git
$ cd navidrome
$ go build
This will create an executable file named navidrome inside the navidrome directory.
Navidrome requires some basic configuration before it can be started. Navigate to the navidrome directory and create a config.yaml file using the following command:
$ cp example.config.yaml config.yaml
Open the config.yaml file with a text editor and make any necessary changes to the default settings. For example, you can change the library_path to point to your music directory.
library_path: "/path/to/music/library"
Now, we are ready to start Navidrome. Navigate to the navidrome directory and run the following command:
$ ./navidrome
This will start the Navidrome server on port 4533. You can access the Navidrome web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:4533.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Navidrome on OpenBSD. You can now enjoy your music library from any device connected to the same network as your OpenBSD machine.
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!
