How to Install Noisedash on OpenBSD

Noisedash is a web-based soundcloud client that allows you to easily listen to music and add tracks to your playlists.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Noisedash on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, please ensure that you have the following:

  • OpenBSD installed on your system
  • Access to the internet
  • Basic knowledge of the command line interface

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first thing you need to do is to ensure that all necessary dependencies are installed on your system.

Open up a terminal and enter the following command to install Node.js and npm package manager:

sudo pkg_add node

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Now, you need to clone the Noisedash repository to your system. To do so, enter the following command:

git clone https://github.com/kaythomas0/noisedash.git

This will create a new directory called noisedash in your current directory.

Step 3: Install Required Node Modules

After cloning the repository, navigate into the noisedash directory and install the required node modules by running:

cd noisedash
npm install

This process may take several minutes, depending on your internet connection speed.

Step 4: Configure the Application

In order to use Noisedash, you need to provide some configurations. Run the following command to create the configuration file:

cp ./config/default.example.json ./config/default.json

After that, open the default.json file in your favorite text editor and modify the following fields:

  • session-secret: A random string used for session encryption.
  • soundcloud.client-id: Your SoundCloud applications client ID.
  • soundcloud.redirect-uri: Your SoundCloud applications redirect URI.
  • server.host: The IP address or hostname of the server.
  • server.port: The port on which the server should listen.

Save the changes you've made.

Step 5: Start the Application

Finally, to run Noisedash, enter the following command:

npm start

This command will start the application and it will be available at the IP address and port specified in the default.json configuration file.
