MoOde Audio is an open-source software that turns a Raspberry Pi or a similar device into a high-quality music player. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MoOde Audio on Ubuntu Server.
First, download the latest version of MoOde Audio from the official website: https://moodeaudio.org/. Choose the appropriate release for your system.
Next, we need to prepare the microSD card for installation. Insert the microSD card into your computer and open a terminal. Run the following command to find the name of the microSD card:
sudo fdisk -l
Take note of the name of the microSD card, which should be something like "/dev/sdb".
Then, unmount the microSD card by running:
sudo umount /dev/sdb*
Replace "/dev/sdb" with the actual name of your microSD card.
Next, create a new partition on the microSD card by running:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
Type "n" to create a new partition and follow the prompts to create a primary partition. Then, type "w" to save the changes and exit fdisk.
Next, format the partition by running:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
Replace "/dev/sdb1" with the actual name of the partition.
Finally, mount the partition by running:
sudo mkdir /mnt/moode && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/moode
Now that we have prepared the microSD card, we can install MoOde Audio. Extract the contents of the MoOde Audio release that you downloaded in Step 1 and copy them to the microSD card.
sudo cp -r moode-*/* /mnt/moode/
Replace "moode-*" with the actual name of the release.
Next, we need to configure MoOde Audio. Unmount the microSD card by running:
sudo umount /mnt/moode
Then, insert the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi or similar device and turn it on. Connect to the device via SSH or use a keyboard and monitor to access the command line.
Run the following command to configure MoOde Audio:
sudo /boot/configure_moode.sh
Follow the prompts to configure MoOde Audio.
Finally, you can access MoOde Audio by opening a web browser and navigating to the IP address of the Raspberry Pi or similar device. You can then control MoOde Audio from the web interface.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed MoOde Audio on 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
