This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and setting up Audioserve on Ubuntu Server. Audioserve is an open-source audio server that allows you to stream, manage, and organize your music library.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
First, you need to install the necessary dependencies for Audioserve. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev
To install Audioserve, you need Rust and Cargo. Run the following command to install these tools:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Follow the prompt to complete the installation.
Next, you need to clone the Audioserve repository from GitHub. Run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/izderadicka/audioserve.git
Navigate to the Audioserve directory and run the following command to build Audioserve:
cd audioserve
cargo build --release
This process may take a few minutes.
Once the build process is complete, you need to configure Audioserve. Run the following command:
./target/release/audioserve --setup
Follow the prompts to configure the server. You need to specify the music directory and database location.
Finally, you can start the Audioserve server by running the following command:
./target/release/audioserve
You can now access Audioserve by navigating to your server's IP address or hostname in your web browser.
You have successfully installed Audioserve on Ubuntu Server! You can now upload your music library to the configured directory and start streaming your favorite songs.
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!
