Personal streaming music server
Idea
I would like to have a private Spotify / Google Music / Apple music like setup. For free. As I already have bought the music once in the past.Music files would be stored at home, but accessible anywhere. This way I could listen to all my favourite songs on the go. And do this with low end smartphones which have limited storage capacity but flat fee 3G/4G network access.
Server
Hardware
Raspberry PI to start with.
Software
- Both the server and the mobile application keep on crashing
- Depends on Tondo servers to be available. I can only hope their freemium business model is sustainable forever.
- Implemented in Java
- Needs to be configured for low ram from defaults
#MADSONIC_INIT_MEMORY=192
#MADSONIC_MAX_MEMORY=384
MADSONIC_INIT_MEMORY=32
MADSONIC_MAX_MEMORY=128
- You need patience to start it up on a Raspi model B
- Auto start for now
/etc/rc.local:
su -c /var/madsonic/standalone/madsonic.sh pi
Mobile application
TBD
General host/network setup
- Public IP - attach to a VLAN outside the firewall
- Dynamic DNS from changeip.com
- Set up DNS update in /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/60-changeip.com
#!/bin/sh
case "$reason" in
BOUND|RENEW|REBIND|REBOOT)
curl -u user:pass 'http://nic.ChangeIP.com/nic/update?cmd=update&hostname=hostname.xyz.com'
;;
esac
- Set up usbmount to automatically mount USB sticks
sudo aptitude install usbmount
- Set up NAT from a privileged port to an user process
/etc/rc.local:
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4040
