LibreTime is an open-source radio automation software that enables you to schedule and manage the audio files and live streams for a radio station. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install LibreTime on an Ubuntu Server.
Before proceeding with the installation of LibreTime, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
Before installing any new packages, it is essential to update the Ubuntu server to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Apache is a web server that is required to run LibreTime. You can install Apache by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
After installing Apache, start the Apache service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To verify that Apache is running, open your web browser and type the following:
http://server-ip-address/
If Apache is configured correctly, you should see the Apache default web page.
To install LibreTime, execute the following steps:
git clone https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime
cd libretime && sudo ./install -fiap
The installation process may take several minutes to complete depending on the server's speed and internet connection.
sudo systemctl restart apache2
To access the LibreTime web interface, open your web browser and type the following:
http://server-ip-address/
You should see the LibreTime login page.
Log in with the default username admin and the password admin. Upon logging in, you will be prompted to change the password.
Now you can configure LibreTime according to your requirements.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install LibreTime on an Ubuntu Server. You can now schedule and manage your radio stations' audio files and live streams using LibreTime.
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!
