Run Soundscape on a VPS

Running Soundscape on a VPS is designed to be as simple as possible.

• Public Docker image
• Single static Go binary with assets bundled
• Automatic TLS using Let's Encrypt
• Redirects http to https
• Works with a reverse proxy or standalone

1. Get a server

Recommended Specs

• Type: VPS or dedicated
• Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)
• Memory: 512MB
• Storage: 5GB+

Recommended Providers

• OVH
• Scaleway

2. Add a DNS record

Create a DNS A record in your domain pointing to your server's IP address.

Example: music.example.com A 172.16.1.1

3. Enabling Let's Encrypt (optional)

When enabled with the --letsencrypt flag, soundscape runs a TLS ("SSL") https server on port 443. It also runs a standard web server on port 80 to redirect clients to the secure server.

Requirements

• Your server must have a publicly resolvable DNS record.
• Your server must be reachable over the internet on ports 80 and 443.

4. Run the static binary

Replace amd64 with arm64 or armv7 depending on your architecture.

# Install ffmpeg.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y wget ffmpeg

# Download the soundscape binary.
$ sudo wget -O /usr/bin/soundscape https://github.com/soundscapecloud/soundscape/raw/master/soundscape-linux-amd64

# Make it executable.
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/soundscape

# Allow it to bind to privileged ports 80 and 443 as non-root (this is also a potential risk).
$ sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/bin/soundscape

# Create your soundscape directory.
$ mkdir $HOME/Music

# (optional) Set a password (or one will be generated and printed in the log)
$ echo "mypassword" >$HOME/Music/.authsecret

# Run with Let's Encrypt enabled for automatic TLS setup (your server must be internet accessible).
$ soundscape --http-host music.example.com --http-username $USER --data-dir $HOME/Music --letsencrypt
1.503869865804371e+09    info    Soundscape URL: https://music.example.com/soundscape/
1.503869865804527e+09    info    Login credentials:  <username>  /  <password>

Run behind an nginx reverse proxy

Configure nginx

1. Basic auth with htpasswd

# Create the htpassword file, setting a password.
$ sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/soundscape.htpasswd <username>
New password: 
Re-type new password: 
Adding password for user <username>

# Verify that you've created your htpasswd file correctly.
$ sudo cat /etc/nginx/soundscape.htpasswd
<username>:$apr1$9MuKubBu315eW3IjIy/Ci290dAtIac/

2. Reverse proxying with authentication

Run soundscape on localhost port 8000 with reverse proxy authentication, using Docker or not.

Note: You must specify --reverse-proxy-ip to disable basic auth and enable X-Authenticated-User header auth.

$ soundscape --http-addr 127.0.0.1:8000 --http-host music.example.com --reverse-proxy-ip 127.0.0.1

You might edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default or wherever your nginx config lives.

server {
    server_name music.example.com;
    listen 80;

    # Using TLS (recommended)
    # listen 443;
    # ssl_certificate music.example.com.crt;
    # ssl_certificate_key music.example.com.key;

    # Redirect requests for "/" to "/soundscape/" (or use "location / {}" below)
    # rewrite ^/$ /soundscape/ permanent;

    location /soundscape/ {
        auth_basic "Soundscape";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/soundscape.htpasswd;

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

        # Forwards username to Soundscape backend (required for auth)
        proxy_set_header X-Authenticated-User $remote_user;

        proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
    }
}

Run the Docker Image

Probably the easiest way to run Soundscape is using the Docker image.

1. Install Docker

# Update apt
$ sudo apt-get update

# Remove old docker install.
$ sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io

# Ensure we have basics for apt-get.
$ sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common

# Add Docker's public key.
$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

# Add Docker's apt repo
$ sudo add-apt-repository \
    "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
    $(lsb_release -cs) \
    stable"

# Update apt
$ sudo apt-get update

# Install Docker
$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce

# Run the hello-world test image
$ sudo docker run hello-world

2. Run the Docker image

The official image is soundscapecloud/soundscape, which should run in any up-to-date Docker environment.

# Your download directory should be bind-mounted as `/data`
# inside the container using the `--volume` flag (see below).
$ mkdir $HOME/Music

# Set a password (default: a password is generated and printed in the log output)
$ echo "mypassword" >$HOME/Music/.authsecret

# Create the container.
$ sudo docker create \
    --name soundscape \
    --init \
    --restart always \
    --publish 80:80 \
    --publish 443:443 \
    --volume $HOME/Music:/data \
    soundscapecloud/soundscape:latest --http-host music.example.com --http-username $USER --letsencrypt

# Run the container
$ sudo docker start soundscape

# View logs for the container
$ sudo docker logs -f soundscape
1.503869865804371e+09    info    Soundscape URL: https://music.example.com/soundscape/
1.503869865804527e+09    info    Login credentials:  <username> /  <password>

3. Updating the container image

Pull the latest image, remove the container, and re-create the container as explained above.

# Pull the latest image
$ sudo docker pull soundscapecloud/soundscape

# Stop the container
$ sudo docker stop soundscape

# Remove the container (data is stored on the mounted volume)
$ sudo docker rm soundscape

# Re-create and start the container
$ sudo docker create ... (see above)

Building

The easiest way to build the static binary is using the Dockerfile.build file.

# Clone the git repo
$ git clone https://github.com/soundscapecloud/soundscape.git

$ cd soundscape/

# Compile the code and create a Docker image for it.
$ sudo docker build --build-arg BUILD_VERSION=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) -t soundscape:build -f Dockerfile.build .

# Create a container based on the image we just built.
$ sudo docker create --name soundscapebuild soundscape:build

# Extract the binary from the image.
$ sudo docker cp soundscapebuild:/usr/bin/soundscape-linux-amd64 soundscape-linux-amd64

# armv7
# $ sudo docker cp soundscapebuild:/usr/bin/soundscape-linux-amd64 soundscape-linux-armv7

# arm64
# $ sudo docker cp soundscapebuild:/usr/bin/soundscape-linux-amd64 soundscape-linux-arm64

# We're done with the build container.
$ sudo docker rm soundscapebuild

# Inspect the binary.
$ file soundscape-linux-amd64

# Run the binary.
$ ./soundscape-linux-amd64 --help

# Build a tiny alpine "runner" image.
# $ sudo docker build -t soundscape:latest .
