Mopidy¶

Mopidy is an extensible music server written in Python. Mopidy plays music from local disk, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, and more. You edit the playlist from any phone, tablet, or computer using a range of MPD and web clients.

Install¶

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip \
    python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python-gst-1.0 \
    gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \
    gstreamer1.0-tools
sudo pip2 install mopidy mopidy-musicbox-webclient

These commands will install mopidy, its dependencies and mopidy webclient musicbox.

Configure¶

By default, Mopidy only listens only on the IPv4 loopback interface. To make it listen on all interfaces (both IPv4 and IPv6), create a configuration file /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf.

sudo mkdir /etc/mopidy
echo "
[http]
hostname = ::
port = 6680
" | sudo tee /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf

Run¶

mopidy --config /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf

Run as a service¶

To make Mopidy autorun, we can create a systemd service.

echo "

After=avahi-daemon.service
After=dbus.service
After=network.target
After=sound.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mopidy --config /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/mopidy.service
sudo systemctl start mopidy
sudo systemctl enable mopidy
