How to Install Karaoke Eternal on Ubuntu Server

Karaoke Eternal is a web-based karaoke platform that allows users to sing along to their favorite songs. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Karaoke Eternal on your Ubuntu Server.

Requirements

Before we begin, make sure your Ubuntu Server meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Install Docker on Ubuntu Server

First, we need to install Docker on our Ubuntu Server. To do this, run the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io

Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot time:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

To verify that Docker is installed and working correctly, run the following command:

sudo docker run hello-world

This command should output a message indicating that Docker is working correctly.

Step 2: Create a Docker Compose file for Karaoke Eternal

Next, we need to create a Docker Compose file for Karaoke Eternal. This file will define how the Karaoke Eternal containers should be configured and started.

Create a new file named docker-compose.yml with the following contents:

version: '3'
services:
  web:
    image: karaokeeternal/web:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "80:80"
  db:
    image: karaokeeternal/db:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: karaokeeternal
      MYSQL_USER: karaokeeternal
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: example_password
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example_password
    volumes:
      - karaokeeternal-db:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
  karaokeeternal-db:

This file defines two services: a web service that runs the Karaoke Eternal web application, and a database service that runs the MySQL database required by the web application.

Note that we are using the latest version of the karaokeeternal/web and karaokeeternal/db Docker images. If you want to use a specific version, replace latest with the version number.

Also note that we are using a MySQL database with predefined environment variables. You should replace the MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD values with your own preferred values.

Step 3: Start Karaoke Eternal Using Docker Compose

Now that we have our Docker Compose file, we can start the Karaoke Eternal containers using the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This command will start the containers in the background, meaning that you can close your terminal window without stopping the containers.

After a few minutes, the Karaoke Eternal web application should be available at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP. If you are running Karaoke Eternal on your local machine, you can use http://localhost instead.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Karaoke Eternal on your Ubuntu Server!

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!
