Supysonic is a free and open-source media server for streaming music to a web browser or smartphone. In this tutorial, we will cover how to install Supysonic on OpenBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation process, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
First, we need to install some dependencies required by Supysonic. Run the following command to install them:
sudo pkg_add python-2.7 py-pip py-setuptools mpg123
This will install Python 2.7, pip, and the mpg123 package required for audio decoding.
Now, we can proceed to install Supysonic using pip. Run the following command to install Supysonic:
sudo pip install supysonic
After installation, we can now configure Supysonic. Create a configuration file for Supysonic using the following command:
sudo touch /etc/supysonic/supysonic.conf
Then, open the configuration file using a text editor:
sudo vi /etc/supysonic/supysonic.conf
In the configuration file, set the following:
[general]
media_dir=/path/to/your/music/directory
allowed_ips=0.0.0.0/0 # to allow access to Supysonic from any IP address
Replace /path/to/your/music/directory with the absolute path to your music directory.
Save and close the file.
Finally, we can run Supysonic using the command:
sudo supysonic
Supysonic will start on port 8080. You can access Supysonic by navigating to http://localhost:8080 on your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown how to install and configure Supysonic on OpenBSD. It is now up to you to add music to Supysonic and start streaming it to your web browser or smartphone.
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!
