Installing YMPD on Fedora Server

YMPD is a lightweight web-based MPD client that allows you to remotely control your music player daemon (MPD) through a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install YMPD on Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation, make sure you meet the following requirements:

• Fedora Server latest version installed on your machine
• sudo access

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to install the dependencies required for YMPD to function properly. To do this, run the following command:

sudo dnf install git gcc gcc-c++ make libmpdclient-devel openssl-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel

Step 2: Download YMPD

Next, we need to download YMPD from its official website. To do this, run the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/notspooky/ympd.git

Step 3: Compile YMPD

Once the download is complete, navigate to the YMPD directory using the command:

cd ympd/

Then, run the following commands to compile YMPD:

sudo make
sudo make install

Step 4: Start YMPD

Finally, start the YMPD service with the following command:

sudo systemctl start ympd.service

You can then verify that YMPD is running successfully by opening your web browser and entering the server's IP address followed by :8080/, for example, http://192.168.1.100:8080/. You should see the YMPD web interface, which will allow you to start playing your music through MPD.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed YMPD on your Fedora Server. You can now remotely control your music player daemon through the web interface.
