Setting up a server for music

#Steps to Getting on House/Work Music:

  1. Download here (we use Ubuntu)
  2. Install a front end like these
  3. Run mopidy in the terminal to start with the default config and view it with the mopidy config command.
  4. Set up your local files to add to mopidy by specifying the media/local_dir in /home/name/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf
  5. Scan your media library in the directory you've specified with the mopidy local scan command.
  6. Now start mopidy again and play your music using one of the frontends.
  7. To make this available to friends, install ngrok
  8. signup to get a custom subdomain and then run using ngrok -subdomain yoursubdomain 6680 where 6680 is mopidy's default port.
  9. Add other services like Spotify, SoundCloud, etc here
  10. Use a shared folder like Dropbox as the local directory for the music.

Now everyone can control and share your music.
