Folks these days would love to be able to stream their own music as effortlessly as Spotify, Apple Music, and other proprietary services, but often do not know how to do so. This tutorial is designed to provide a free software solution for music and media streaming. Before beginning, make sure to setup LAMP/TLS on Debian first, and you can use Apache Survival. I used the AirSonic documentation and some forums, etc., to set up a reverse proxy (on an alternate port 8081) to run an AirSonic media server instance. I should also mention that the media directories I am using are within a Nextcloud data directory. The two services work in unison flawlessly and here are my findings and instructions:
sudo apt install tomcat9 cd /etc/tomcat9/ nano server.xml
Change port to needed port (8081)
wget https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/releases/download/v10.5.0/airsonic.war mv airsonic.war /var/airsonic/ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 0A3F5E91F8364EDF wget https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/releases/download/v10.5.0/artifacts-checksums.sha.asc gpg --verify artifacts-checksums.sha.asc sha256sum -c artifacts-checksums.sha.asc sudo rm /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/airsonic.war sudo rm -R /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/airsonic/ sudo rm -R /var/lib/tomcat9/work/* sudo mkdir /var/airsonic/ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/airsonic/ ln -s /home/nextclouddata/username/files/Music/Masters music sudo systemctl stop tomcat9.service screen java -jar -Dserver.port=8081 /var/airsonic/airsonic.war ctrl-a-d
Once you detach from the screen, this will remain running until reboot. Navigate to:
localhost:8081
Or, set up a proper reverse proxy web server using apache (or similar server). Here are some examples: https://hc.jonathanhaack.com/oemb1905/haackingclub/tree/master/airsonic
