In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Funkwhale on OpenSUSE latest version. Funkwhale is a self-hosted music streaming server that allows you to share and listen to music with others.
Before you proceed, make sure that you have the following:
Update your server by running the following commands:
sudo zypper update
Funkwhale requires a few dependencies to be installed before we can start the installation. You can install the required dependencies by running the following command:
sudo zypper install -y libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libjpeg-devel zlib-devel gcc git openssl-devel python3-devel postgresql-server postgresql-devel postgresql-contrib postgresql-plpython3
Funkwhale is built using Docker, so we will need to install Docker and Docker-Compose on our server. Run the following command to install Docker:
sudo zypper install docker
Start the Docker service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
Install Docker-Compose using the following command:
sudo zypper install docker-compose
Create a new user for Funkwhale using the following command:
sudo useradd -m funkwhale
Switch to the Funkwhale user using the following command:
su - funkwhale
Clone the Funkwhale repository using git by running the following command:
git clone https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale.git
Navigate to the Funkwhale directory using the following command:
cd funkwhale
Edit the .env file to configure Funkwhale by running the following command:
nano .env
Update the values in the .env file according to your preferences. Save the file and exit the editor.
Build and start the Funkwhale containers using the following command:
docker-compose up -d
The first time you run this command, it may take some time to build the containers.
Run the following command to create a database for Funkwhale:
createdb -U postgres -O funkwhale funkwhale_db
Initialize the database by running the following command:
docker-compose run --rm backend /app/backend/entrypoint.prod.sh migrate
Funkwhale needs to be configured to work with Nginx. Install Nginx using the following command:
sudo zypper install nginx
Create a new server block for Funkwhale by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/funkwhale.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
client_max_body_size 100M;
client_body_buffer_size 1M;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
location = /500.html {
root /var/lib/nginx/html;
}
}
Replace your_domain.com with your own domain name. Save the file and exit the editor.
Test your Nginx configuration using the following command:
sudo nginx -t
Start Nginx by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start nginx
You can now access Funkwhale by navigating to http://your_domain.com in your web browser.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Funkwhale on OpenSUSE latest. You can now start sharing and listening to your music with others using Funkwhale.
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!
