Funkwhale

Funkwhale is a community-driven project that lets you listen and share music and audio within a decentralized, open network.

Dependencies

This service requires the following other services:

Configuration

To enable this service, add the following configuration to your vars.yml file and re-run the installation process:

Redis

As described on the Redis documentation page, if you're hosting additional services which require Redis on the same server, you'd better go for installing a separate Redis instance for each service. See Creating a Redis instance dedicated to funkwhale.

If you're only running funkwhale on this server and don't need to use Redis for anything else, you can use a single Redis instance.

Using the shared Redis instance for funkwhale

To install a single (non-dedicated) Redis instance (mash-redis) and hook funkwhale to it, add the following additional configuration:

This will create a mash-redis Redis instance on this host.

This is only recommended if you won't be installing other services which require Redis. Alternatively, go for Creating a Redis instance dedicated to funkwhale.

Creating a Redis instance dedicated to funkwhale

The following instructions are based on the Running multiple instances of the same service on the same host documentation.

Adjust your inventory/hosts file as described in Re-do your inventory to add supplementary hosts, adding a new supplementary host (e.g. if funkwhale.example.com is your main one, create funkwhale.example.com-deps).

Then, create a new vars.yml file for the

inventory/host_vars/funkwhale.example.com-deps/vars.yml:

This will create a mash-funkwhale-redis instance on this host with its data in /mash/funkwhale-redis.

Then, adjust your main inventory host's variables file (inventory/host_vars/funkwhale.example.com/vars.yml) like this:

Installation

If you've decided to install a dedicated Redis instance for funkwhale, make sure to first do installation for the supplementary inventory host (e.g. funkwhale.example.com-deps), before running installation for the main one (e.g. funkwhale.example.com).

Usage

After installation, you can go to the funkwhale URL, as defined in funkwhale_hostname. To login and get started you first have to create a user. You need to log onto your server and execute

docker exec -it mash-funkwhale-api funkwhale-manage createsuperuser --username USERNAME --email YOURNAME@invalid.org

All other users can be created in the Web GUI.
