How to Install Mopidy MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS

Mopidy is a music streaming server which enables you to play music from various sources, such as Spotify, SoundCloud or local media files. Musicbox on the other hand is a ready-to-go web interface which sits on top of Mopidy, providing a user-friendly way to control the server remotely. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and configuring Mopidy and MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, please make sure that you have:

A working installation of Fedora CoreOS
Root access to the system
A stable internet connection

Installation

To install Mopidy and MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS, follow these steps:

Log in to your Fedora CoreOS system as the root user.
Install the Mopidy package.
```
dnf install mopidy
```
Install the MusicBox package.
```
dnf install mopidy-musicbox-webclient
```
Start Mopidy service.
```
systemctl start mopidy
```
Enable Mopidy service.
```
systemctl enable mopidy
```

You have now successfully installed Mopidy MusicBox on your Fedora CoreOS system!

Configuration

By default, MusicBox will attempt to use the ALSA audio driver. However, since Fedora CoreOS uses PulseAudio as its sound system, we need to tweak the configuration of Mopidy to make it use PulseAudio instead.

Here's how to do that:

Create the configuration file for Mopidy.
```
touch /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
```
Edit the configuration file and add the following lines:
```
[audio]
mixer = pulse
output = pulsesink
```
Save the configuration file and exit the text editor.
Restart Mopidy.
```
systemctl restart mopidy
```

That's it! You can now access MusicBox by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<server_ip_address>:6680/.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Mopidy MusicBox on Fedora CoreOS. You can now stream music from various sources, and control it remotely using MusicBox. Enjoy your favorite tunes!
