How to Install Mopidy MusicBox on Fedora Server

Mopidy MusicBox is a web interface for Mopidy, a music player with support for multiple streams and music sources.

In this tutorial, we will be installing Mopidy MusicBox on a Fedora Server latest version.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following:

A Fedora Server latest version installed
A terminal or SSH connection to the server

Step 1: Installing Mopidy

To install Mopidy, we need to add the Mopidy repository to our Fedora system.

Open the terminal or SSH connection to your Fedora server.
Install the Fedora COPR repository by running the command:
```
sudo dnf copr enable thopiekar/mopidy
```
Then, update the package list:
```
sudo dnf update
```
Finally, install Mopidy and its dependencies:
```
sudo dnf install mopidy
```

Step 2: Installing Mopidy MusicBox

Now that we have Mopidy installed on our server, we can proceed to install Mopidy MusicBox.

Firstly, we need to enable the RPM Fusion repository, which contains some of the dependencies required by Mopidy MusicBox:
```
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
```
Next, we need to install the Python pip package manager to install Mopidy MusicBox:
```
sudo dnf install python3-pip
```
Then, we can use pip to install Mopidy MusicBox:
```
sudo pip3 install mopidy-musicbox-webclient
```

Step 3: Configuring Mopidy and Mopidy MusicBox

Now that we have both Mopidy and Mopidy MusicBox installed, we need to configure them to work together.

Firstly, we need to edit the Mopidy configuration file:
```
sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
```
Locate the [http] section, and change the following line to enable the Mopidy MusicBox web client:
```
enabled = true
```
Next, add the following lines to the [http] section to set the password for the MusicBox interface:
```
csrf_protection = true
default_app = musicbox
static_dir = /opt/musicbox/webclient/
```
Note: You can set your own password by changing the default_password parameter.
Save and close the configuration file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and then Enter.
Finally, restart the Mopidy service for changes to take effect:
```
sudo systemctl restart mopidy.service
```

Now, you can access Mopidy MusicBox by entering the server's IP address and port 6680 in your web browser.

For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.1.100, type http://192.168.1.100:6680/musicbox/ in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Mopidy and Mopidy MusicBox on a Fedora Server latest version, and configured them to work together. You can now enjoy your music library through the MusicBox web interface.
