LMS (Logitech Media Server) is an open-source software that allows you to stream your music collection to various devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing LMS on Void Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following requirements:
Open the Terminal on your Void Linux system.
Install the necessary dependencies. Run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo xbps-install -S perl perl-modules perl-dbi perl-dbd-sqlite flac faad sox curl wget lame
The xbps-install command is used to install packages on Void Linux. The above command installs the necessary packages required for LMS.
wget https://github.com/epoupon/lms/releases/download/8.2.0/logitechmediaserver-8.2.0-arm.deb
Note: Replace 8.2.0 with the latest version available.
sudo xbps-install -f logitechmediaserver-8.2.0-arm.deb
The -f option is used to force the installation of the package.
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/logitechmediaserver /var/service
The above command creates a symbolic link between the LMS service and the service directory, which allows it to start automatically.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000. This will open the LMS web interface.
Finally, configure the LMS server to suit your needs. Add your music collection to the server, and start streaming to your devices.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LMS on Void Linux.
In this tutorial, we guided you through the process of installing LMS on Void Linux. The installation process is quite straightforward but requires a few dependencies to be installed. Once you have installed LMS, you can configure it to suit your needs and start streaming your music collection to various devices.
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!
