Mopidy is an open-source music player that can stream music from various sources. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Mopidy on Void Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before we install Mopidy, we have to ensure that all the necessary dependencies are installed. Run the following command to update the package repository and to install the required dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -Su python3-pip python3-setuptools gcc gst-plugins-base pkg-config libffi-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libuuid-devel
Now that we have installed all necessary dependencies, we can proceed with installing Mopidy.
Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pip3 install Mopidy[all]
This will download and install Mopidy along with all the plugins in the "all" bundle.
Mopidy's configuration file is located at /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf. By default, this file does not exist. You will need to create it and configure it according to your preferences.
Run the following command to create the configuration file:
sudo touch /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
You can then open the configuration file using any text editor and configure it to your liking. Mopidy's official documentation provides a detailed guide on how to configure the configuration file.
After configuring the configuration file, we can now start Mopidy. Run the following command to start the Mopidy service:
sudo systemctl start mopidy
To ensure that the Mopidy service starts automatically when booting your system, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mopidy
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Mopidy on your Void Linux system. You can now stream music from various sources and enjoy your favorite tunes. If you encounter any issues or have any questions, refer to Mopidy's official documentation or seek help from their community.
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!
