Self-host soundscape

Your download directory should be bind-mounted as /data

inside the container using the --volume flag (see below).

$ mkdir $HOME/Music

Set a password (default: a password is generated and printed in the log output)

$ echo "mypassword" >$HOME/Music/.authsecret

Create the container.

$ sudo docker create
--name soundscape
--init
--restart always
--publish 80:80
--publish 443:443
--volume $HOME/Music:/data
soundscapecloud/soundscape:latest --http-host music.example.com --http-username $USER --letsencrypt

Run the container

$ sudo docker start soundscape

View logs for the container

$ sudo docker logs -f soundscape

Install ffmpeg.

$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install -y wget ffmpeg

Download the soundscape binary.

$ sudo wget -O /usr/bin/soundscape https://github.com/soundscapecloud/soundscape/raw/master/soundscape-linux-amd64

Make it executable.

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/soundscape

Allow it to bind to privileged ports 80 and 443 as non-root (this is also a potential risk).

$ sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/bin/soundscape

Create your soundscape directory.

$ mkdir $HOME/Music

(optional) Set a password (or one will be generated and printed in the log)

$ echo "mypassword" >$HOME/Music/.authsecret

Run with Let's Encrypt enabled for automatic TLS setup (your server must be internet accessible).

$ soundscape --http-host music.example.com --http-username $USER --data-dir $HOME/Music --letsencrypt
