Supysonic is a simple, lightweight and easy-to-use web-based music streaming server that supports multiple backends. It provides a great alternative to other music streaming solutions like Subsonic or Madsonic. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to install Supysonic on Void Linux.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following:
Open a terminal and update your system's package list:
sudo xbps-install -Syy
Next, install the required dependencies by running:
sudo xbps-install -y git gcc python3 python3-dev gstreamer gstreamer-plugins-base gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad-libs
Next, clone the Supysonic repository from GitHub with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic.git
This will create a new supysonic directory in your current working directory.
Change to the supysonic directory and install Supysonic using pip3:
cd supysonic/
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Copy the default configuration file to config.yml:
cp config.example.yml config.yml
Next, open config.yml using your preferred text editor:
nano config.yml
Edit the file with your preferred settings. At minimum, you should set the media_folder and password values, then save the file and exit.
Finally, you can start Supysonic by running:
python3 supysonic.py
Once started, you can access it by pointing your web browser to http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install Supysonic on Void Linux. Now, you can enjoy your own music library from anywhere over the internet.
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!
