How to Install Funkwhale on Fedora Server Latest

Funkwhale is a self-hosted decentralized audio streaming platform that allows users to create and share audio content with others. In this tutorial, we will be guiding you through the process of installing Funkwhale on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A running Fedora Server Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• A domain name or public IP address
• An SSL/TLS certificate (optional but recommended)

Step 1: Update the System

Make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Docker

Funkwhale is built using Docker containers, so we need to install Docker on our system. To do this, run the following command:

sudo dnf install docker -y

After the installation is complete, start the Docker service by running:

sudo systemctl start docker

Run this command to check the status of the service:

sudo systemctl status docker

Step 3: Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool that allows us to define and run multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose, run the following commands:

sudo dnf install curl -y
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Verify the installation by running:

docker-compose --version

Step 4: Install Funkwhale

Create a new directory for Funkwhale and navigate inside it:

mkdir funkwhale
cd funkwhale

Create a new file docker-compose.yml in the directory and paste the following content inside it:

version: "3.9"
services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:12-alpine
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: funkwhale
      POSTGRES_USER: funkwhale
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: funkwhale
    volumes:
      - postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.14.0
    environment:
      discovery.type: single-node
      ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
      MAX_MAP_COUNT: 262144
      bootstrap.memory_lock: "true"
      xpack.ml.enabled: "false"
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    volumes:
      - elasticsearch:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
  funkwhale:
    image: funkwhale/all-in-one:latest
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - postgres
      - elasticsearch
    environment:
      DEBUG: "false"
      FUNKWHALE_PROTOCOL: "https"
      FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME: "yourdomain.com"
      FUNKWHALE_ALLOWED_HOSTS: yourdomain.com
      FUNKWHALE_SECRET_KEY: CHANGE_ME
      FUNKWHALE_DB_HOST: postgres
      FUNKWHALE_DB_NAME: funkwhale
      FUNKWHALE_DB_USER: funkwhale
      FUNKWHALE_DB_PASSWORD: funkwhale
      FUNKWHALE_ELASTICSEARCH_URL: http://elasticsearch:9200/
      FUNKWHALE_CELERY_BROKER_URL: redis://redis:6379/
      FUNKWHALE_CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND: redis://redis:6379/0
      FUNKWHALE_REDIS_CACHE_URL: redis://redis:6379/1
      FUNKWHALE_LISTEN_PORT: "5000"
      FUNKWHALE_INTERNAL_IP: "127.0.0.1"
      FUNKWHALE_API_ENDPOINT: "/api/v1/"
      FUNKWHALE_ACCESS_LOGS_ENABLED: "true"
    volumes:
      - funkwhale:/srv/funkwhale
volumes:
  postgres:
  redis:
  elasticsearch:
  funkwhale:

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain name or public IP address.

Step 5: Run Funkwhale

To start Funkwhale, run the following command:

sudo docker-compose up -d

This will start the Funkwhale containers in the background.

Step 6: Set up Firewall Rules

If you have enabled the firewall on your system, make sure to allow traffic to the ports used by Funkwhale. By default, Funkwhale listens on port 5000. Run the following command to enable traffic to port 5000:

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=5000/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 7: Access Funkwhale

Open up a web browser and navigate to https://yourdomain.com. If everything is configured correctly, you should see the Funkwhale login page. Use the default username and password admin to log in.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Funkwhale on your Fedora Server Latest. Now you can start creating and sharing audio content with others.
