Black candy is a self hosted music streaming server built with Rails and Stimulus. The goal of the project is to create a real personal music center.
Black candy use docker for simplify deployment, development and test process. So you should install docker and docker-compose first.
Black candy support mp3, m4a, ogg, oga, opus, flac, wma and wav formats now.
Black candy has built docker images. You can use docker compose to run all services.
First, you should ensure your music files stored under "/media_data"
Then run:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aidewoode/black_candy/v1.1.1/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d
That's all. Now, you can use initial admin user to login (email: [email protected], password: foobar).
You can also change the docker-compose.yml
for your own needs.
Note: When the SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable is not set, Black candy will generate SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable every time when service start up. This will cause old sessions invalid, You can set your own SECRET_KEY_BASE environment variable on docker service to avoid it.
You can try black candy on Play with Docker
When the service is ready, access black candy from port 80. Then use initial admin user to login (email: [email protected], password: foobar). This demo already contains some sample music file. You can go to the setting page and click the sync button of the media path to import the sample music into the database.
And feel free to try it.
