How to get to the admin interface and federate?

[anmol26s]

Hi I can't find the admin interface? Further how can I add some other Funkwhale instance to my instance by federation? I am completely lost.
And can my music folder in my home shared with Funkwhale, so that I can add music with nextcloud and it becomes available to Funkwhale? Thanks for your help in advance.

I had the same question about the admin link: https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/issues/202

I'll open a new issue for the music folder sync

The link to admin should be added to the readme. Have you tired federation on Funkwhale instances? How can I add it in the from admin interface? The admin interface is huge and complex.

I had no opportunity to test the Federation of instances, for now I use it in standalone, I need to upgrade my own server before making it public.

You're correct, I'll improve readme.

About Federation, here is the documentation: https://docs.funkwhale.audio/federation.html

Kind remember: this is an alpha version, there is still a lot to improve in this app, the project dev will be happy to get your feedback :)

Hi @anmol26s and @Jibec!

Yeu should find documentation on how to access the admin interface in https://docs.funkwhale.audio/configuration.html#instance-settings

For your nextcloud music directory, you can try with https://docs.funkwhale.audio/importing-music.html#from-music-directory-on-the-server and a cronjob maybe ?

Hi @EliotBerriot Thanks for providing the links. python api/manage.py import_files "/srv/funkwhale/data/music/**/*.ogg" --recursive --noinput FunkWhale only support .ogg or we can import .mp3 too?

[anmol26s]

Further I can't see any of the user or there music library to follow on other instances. How can I find all these users on other instances to join there libraries ?

[agateblue]

@anmol26s federation is only for sharing audio files between instances. If you want to try it, you can send a follow request at library@demo.funkwhale.audio. There is a "federation" link in the Sidebar for that :)

For future questions like this, you may want to join https://riot.im/app/#/room/#funkwhale-troubleshooting:matrix.org instead.

We support ogg, mp3 and flac files too.

@anmol26s do you confirm Federation works fine for you?

Hey,

I'm trying to add music that I have in my nextcloud. She are in the follwing folder : /home/yunohost.multimedia/share/Music/ So, I execute the following commands

cd /var/www/funkwhale
python api/manage.py import_files "/home/yunohost.multimedia/share/Music/*" --recursive --noinput

But I have the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "api/manage.py", line 2, in <module>
    import django
ImportError: No module named django

I do not understand ... I saw that there is venv` in the install script, but

# virtualenv /var/www/funkwhale/virtualenv
-bash: virtualenv: command not found

....

Did I miss something ? @anmol26s the only command worked for you ?

EDIT : f**, You have to execute the command as a user funkwhale ? if so, I do not see how to do it, I do not understand very well virtualenv python .... (virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, pew, ... ) And it's python or python3 ?? (python3 -m venv "$final_path/virtualenv")

@EliotBerriot Hi The link for federation is not available now. Can you please tell me how to add the libraries from the other instances if I don't know the users in that particular instance? If there is no place to find people from the instances then how will federation bloom?
