How to Install Airsonic Advanced on Fedora CoreOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Airsonic Advanced on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with the installation, ensure you have the following:

A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest with sudo privileges
A stable internet connection
Basic command-line knowledge

Step 1: Install Docker

To run Airsonic Advanced, you need to install Docker first. You can install it via dnf package manager as follows:

sudo dnf -y install docker

Once installed, start and enable the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 2: Install Airsonic Advanced

Clone the Airsonic Advanced repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/airsonic-advanced/airsonic-advanced.git

Change into the project directory:
```
cd airsonic-advanced
```
Create and configure the .env file:
```
cp example.env .env
```
Open the .env file with your favorite editor and set the following values:
```
SERVICE_NAME=airsonic-advanced
BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0
```
You can also set the port used by Airsonic with the BIND_PORT variable. By default, it is set to 4040.
Build the Docker image:
```
sudo docker build -t airsonic-advanced .
```
This will build a Docker image tagged as airsonic-advanced.
Start Airsonic Advanced in a Docker container:
```
sudo docker run -d --name airsonic-advanced \
    --restart=always \
    -p 4040:4040 \
    -v /path/to/music:/data/music \
    -v /path/to/playlists:/data/playlists \
    airsonic-advanced
```
Replace /path/to/music and /path/to/playlists with the actual paths to your music and playlists directories. You can also adjust the port number (4040) if you set a different value in the .env file.

This will start a Docker container named airsonic-advanced with Airsonic running inside it. It will also map the host port 4040 to the container port 4040. The -v options will mount your music and playlists directories to the corresponding directories inside the container. The --restart=always option ensures that the container will be automatically started after a reboot or crash.

Step 3: Access Airsonic Advanced

You can now access Airsonic Advanced by opening a web browser and typing in the IP address or hostname of your Fedora CoreOS machine followed by :4040. Login with the default credentials admin/admin, and you should be able to see your music library and start streaming your favorite songs.
