Mopidy is an extensible music server that allows you to play music from various sources such as local hard drive, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, etc. It is a Python application that can be easily installed on OpenSUSE Latest.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Mopidy on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
Mopidy is not available in the default OpenSUSE repositories. Therefore, we need to add the Mopidy repository to install it.
To add the repository, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mopidy/openSUSE_$(rpm -E '%{suse_version}')/ mopidy
This command adds the Mopidy repository to OpenSUSE.
Once the repository is added, update the package list, and install Mopidy by running the following command:
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install mopidy
This command will download and install Mopidy along with its dependencies.
After installing Mopidy, we need to configure it to play music from various sources.
Mopidy configuration file is located at /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf. Open the file in your preferred text editor and edit the required configuration options.
For example, to configure Mopidy to play music from a local music directory, add the following lines:
[local]
media_dir = /path/to/your/music/directory
For more configuration options, you can refer to the official Mopidy documentation.
Now that Mopidy is installed and configured, start the Mopidy service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mopidy.service
This command starts the Mopidy service in the background.
In this tutorial, we have shown you the steps to install and configure Mopidy on OpenSUSE Latest. Now you can start streaming music from various sources using Mopidy.
