Mopidy is an open-source music server that enables you to stream music from local media and popular streaming services. This tutorial explains how to install Mopidy on Fedora Server Latest in just a few simple steps.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following:

  • A Fedora Server Latest installation
  • A terminal or console window
  • Root privileges or use of the sudo command

Steps to Install Mopidy on Fedora Server Latest

Step 1: Enable the COPR repository

Mopidy is available from the COPR repository maintained by Fedora. To enable the COPR repository, run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo dnf install -y 'dnf-command(copr)'
sudo copr enable -y jodal/mopidy

Step 2: Install Mopidy

Now that the COPR repository is enabled, install Mopidy by running the following command:

sudo dnf install -y mopidy

Step 3: Install Mopidy extensions

Mopidy can be extended with various extensions to support different music sources and services. To install recommended Mopidy extensions, run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y mopidy-local mopidy-tunein

The mopidy-local extension allows you to browse and play music from your local media, while the mopidy-tunein extension enables access to thousands of online radio stations.

Step 4: Configure Mopidy

By default, Mopidy is configured to use the ALSA audio output and scan your local music library from the ~/Music directory. You can modify the Mopidy configuration by editing the /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf file.

For example, to change the audio output to PulseAudio, add the following line to the end of the file:

[audio]
output = audioresample ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw,rate=44100,channels=2,format=S16LE ! pulsesink server=127.0.0.1

To add other extensions, consult the Mopidy documentation and add the corresponding section to the configuration file.

Step 5: Start Mopidy

To start Mopidy as a service, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start mopidy

You can now access the Mopidy web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://<server_ip>:6680, where <server_ip> is the IP address or hostname of your Fedora server. From the web interface, you can configure additional settings, browse your music library, and play music.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install Mopidy on Fedora Server Latest and configure it to play music from various sources. You can now create your own music server and enjoy your favorite tunes wherever you go.
