Installing koel on a raspberry pi 3 with nginx and ffmpeg

koel_install_on_raspberrypi3.md

This is how I installed https://github.com/phanan/koel on a raspberry pi.

Still, flac transcoding isn't working for me

install dependencies

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mysql-client nginx php5-fpm php5-cli php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-curl git

nodejs

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs    

yarn

sudo curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash        

create database

mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE koel DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
> exit;

#koel

cd /var/www
sudo git clone https://github.com/phanan/koel.git     
sudo chmod 777 -R koel
cd koel/

set your config parameters in .env file.

sed -i 's/ADMIN_EMAIL=/[email protected]/g' .env
sed -i 's/ADMIN_NAME=/ADMIN_NAME=admin/g' .env
sed -i 's/ADMIN_PASSWORD=/ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin-pass/g' .env
sed -i 's/DB_CONNECTION=/DB_CONNECTION=mysql/g' .env
sed -i 's/DB_HOST=/DB_HOST=localhost/g' .env
sed -i 's/DB_DATABASE=homestead/DB_DATABASE=koel/g' .env
sed -i 's/DB_USERNAME=homestead/DB_USERNAME=root/g' .env 
sed -i 's/STREAMING_METHOD=/STREAMING_METHOD=x-accel-redirect/g' .env

install components

cd /var/www/koel
npm install
sudo npm install gulp
yarn
./node_modules/.bin/gulp --production
php artisan koel:init
sudo chown -R :www-data /var/www/koel 

create your music folder & fill it

sudo mkdir /var/music
sudo chmod 775 /var/music

configure php-fpm & nginx

sudo vim /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini

set cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo service php5-fpm restart
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

I have this content :

  server {
    listen          *:80;
    server_name      yourdomain.tld raspberrypi.local;
    root            /var/www/koel;
    index           index.php;

    gzip            on;
    gzip_types      text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript application/json;
    gzip_comp_level  9;

   # Whitelist only index.php, robots.txt, and those start with public/ or api/
   if ($request_uri !~ ^/$|index\.php|robots\.txt|api/|public/) {
     return 404;
   }

  location /media/ {
    internal;

    # A 'X-Media-Root' should be set to media_path settings from upstream
    alias       $upstream_http_x_media_root;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/koel.access.log;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/koel.error.log;
  }

  location / {
    try_files   $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
  }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        #try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

        #fastcgi_param     PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        #fastcgi_param     PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param     SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors  on;

        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Then restart nginx to apply changes

sudo service nginx restart

add local swap file (optional)

sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile          

compile ffmpeg (for transcoding)

cd
git clone --depth=1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg/
./configure --arch=armel --target-os=linux --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-demuxer=flac --enable-muxer=flac --enable-decoder=flac --enable-encoder=flac --enable-parser=flac
make -j4
sudo make install
