Koel Documentation

Unofficial: How to set up Koel with Apache and MySQL on DietPi. Tested with Odroid XU4.

Note: Koel is included in dietpi-software as of v151. This only for those who want to combine Koel with a web server.

1. Install a LAMP stack, Node.js, FFmpeg, Build-Essential and optionally Git (for easy updating) from dietpi-software.

2. Set up database (MySQL example):

mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE koel DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON koel.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;

1. Install Composer globally using official documentation, should look something like this:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '669656bab3166a7aff8a7506b8cb2d1c292f042046c5a994c43155c0be6190fa0355160742ab2e1c88d40d5be660b410') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

1. Install Yarn :

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

1. Get Koel Latest Stable with Git

cd /var/www
git clone https://github.com/phanan/koel.git
cd koel
git checkout v3.6.2

1. Install with Composer:

composer install

1. Modify .env with details info, should look something like this (still in the koel directory):

nano .env

# Database connection name, which corresponds to the database driver.
# Possible values are:
#   mysql (MySQL/MariaDB - default)
#   pgsql (PostgreSQL)
#   sqlsrv (Microsoft SQL Server)
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=koel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=dietpi

# Username and password for the initial admin account
# This info will be populated into the database during `php artisan db:seed`
# After that, it can (and should) be removed from this .env file
[email protected]
ADMIN_NAME=admin
ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin-pass

# The streaming method.
# Can be either 'php' (default), 'x-sendfile', or 'x-accel-redirect'
# See https://github.com/phanan/koel/wiki#streaming-music for more information.
# Note: This setting doesn't have effect if the media needs transcoding (e.g. FLAC).
STREAMING_METHOD=x-sendfile

# The full path of ffmpeg binary.
FFMPEG_PATH=/usr/bin/ffmpeg

1. init Koel instance:

php artisan koel:init

1. Remove admin details from .env

nano .env

# Username and password for the initial admin account
# This info will be populated into the database during `php artisan db:seed`
# After that, it can (and should) be removed from this .env file
ADMIN_EMAIL=
ADMIN_NAME=
ADMIN_PASSWORD=

1. Change Koel Permissions:

# cd
# chmod 775 -R /var/www/koel
# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/koel

1. Install x-sendfile:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-xsendfile

1. Enable mod_rewrite.

a2enmod rewrite

dietpi-services restart

1. Configure Virtual Host

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

DocumentRoot /var/www/koel

<Directory /var/www/koel>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

LoadModule xsendfile_module   /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xsendfile.so

  <IfModule mod_xsendfile.c>
    XSendFile on
    XSendFilePath /mnt/dietpi_userdata/Music
  </IfModule>

dietpi-services restart

1. Set Music Directory in Koel settings.

Visit DietPi system's IP (http://192.168.0.100) and you should be able to log in with the details set in .env

Email Address: [email protected]
Password: admin-pass

Set Music Directory in Settings

e.g. /mnt/dietpi_userdata/Music

See here for a Nginx set up with X-Accel.

@sootstone

Nice one, looks good 👍

I'll test your notes and convert it into DietPi-Software.

notes:

Requires:

• nodejs
• lxmp stack
• Python/build-essential (for npm install)
• ffmpeg for transcoding

Nice :+1:

(this might help)

yes, please include this.
I tried to install this, but failed

unfortunately same here: got an "css/app-css not defined in asset manifest"
(Node.js 7.10 installed/ Composer 1.4.2))

Did you install with Yarn? That's the only supported installation method at the moment as far as I'm aware, you'll receive a lot of errors otherwise.

I did exactly the steps you posted..many many thx btw.: great "tutorial"..!!
yes, i installed with Yarn, but maybe an old version ? 0.15.4 or something ? could really be the problem..
installed the steps here on a "normal" Xubuntu 16.04 (PC) and under Raspbian Jessie (RPI)..
guess, i have to make it completely/fresh again..
but many thx for your hint here !!; guess also Koel is a great piece of streamer; has to be in the dietpi-software (optional)..
many thx again (try it now again) ;-)

Edit: Sooo great, superb !! runs now..updated to yarn 0.24.5->was the problem !!
and btw.: Your "tutorial" was the greatest in a long time, really..no joke !!!
thx again ;-)

Completed.

@sfb2

No problem! Glad you could get it working.

[sootstone]

Great job @Fourdee, looks awesome! :+1:

I'm probably going to stick with my own setup for personal use so I can customize it for Apache, but yours is perfect for DietPi users. Hope you don't mind if I steal some of it?

[Fourdee]

@sootstone

Hope you don't mind if I steal some of it?

By all means 👍 Its based on your install notes, without which, wouldn't be possible :)

Updated for future reference.

That's odd, what system are you trying to install Koel on?
Are you installing it as root?
Have you tried removing the $HOME/.node-gyp and $HOME/.npmrc directories, and rebooting/retrying? (Worked for people with similar problems)

[ghost]

I'm trying to install it on a Orange Pi PC.
Yes, I'm using the default DietPi account... I will try to do a fresh installation and delete those folders before
php artisan koel:init. Dumb question, do I need npm install or yarn is enough?

[sootstone]

Dumb question, do I need npm install or yarn is enough?

php artisan koel:init will automatically use yarn, so no need to use either :)

[ghost]

For curiosity, I tried to install it from the dietpi-software list and it doesn't work all the same. Maybe something changed in the installation process?

Not that we are aware, which device tested on?

On a Orange Pi PC. These are the screenshots of the broken web page.

So I tried again, with yarn updated at 0.27.5... same result.

We tested install with the swapfile increase in v155 on fresh install, was functional. Are you running v155?
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1126#issuecomment-326749203

Also please check swapfile size:

I'm currently running v155.

I tried to install it from dietpi-software and it worked. I will try a "manual" installation following the guide above and I'll let you know.

edit: unfortunately following this guide I can't seem to get it work.
The first time I encountered these errors:

I tried to read between the lines and I installed python by running apt-get install python2.7

After that, yarn seemed to work correctly, until the very end when I encountered several errors like this one
