Service Request: Owncloud [$25 awarded] #52

Closed jiri-janousek closed 8 years ago

From Launchpad bug #1219083 by John Uren:

An alternative to online music services are self-hosted music collections on a NAS or other storage device. OwnCloud uses Ampache as its music server and Ampache can be installed as a separate service in itself. While Linux has a few programs that connect to the Ampache service, most are either additions to existing music collection apps or just plain ugly.

The $25 bounty on this issue has been claimed at Bountysource.

Hello everybody. I need more information in order to create Owncloud/Ampache script. Please ask following questions.

Hi @AsavarTzeth. Your feedback is especially important since you have pledged a bounty for this feature.

Well to start with, the ownCloud Music app as I understand it uses the Ampache API but is not itself an Ampache installation. So I would not go so far as to call it Ampache integrated with ownCloud. The reason this is titled Amapache/Owncloud is probably because the ownCloud Music App has implemented the Amapche API for streaming, among other things.

Anyhow, I use the ownCloud Music app, and I usually update it at the same time I update the ownCloud server, which is mostly quarterly.

I use the stable quarterly released version of ownCloud. I update it via their OBS supplied Debian/Ubuntu repository. In other words I follow the developers recommendations. Current version is 8.x.

I cannot supply my domain name because I don't want search engines or anyone else picking it up more than necessary.

My setup uses a fqdn, including a sub-domain that points to the ownCloud installation directly. The ownCloud Music App currently uses https://fqdn/index.php/apps/music/#/ as its URL. The key here is that the fqdn must be a configurable variable for this to work. Additionally one have to keep in mind that some may opt to use a URL similar to this: https://fqdn/owncloud.

I will see if I can add a screenshot, but I currently don't use any image upload services and I am unsure how I can best share it.

Ampache seems to have its own HTML5 web player, but it is not used by Owncloud. Let's dedicate this ticket to Owncloud Music then, I've created a new ticket for Ampache #212.

Thanks for info. I've just installed ownCloud 8.2.2 following your advice.

Hello @AsavarTzeth. ownCloud Music script is finished. It requires the latest build of Nuvola Player 3.1 to function properly though.
