RFK

A jukebox that plays random songs. (for now)

This is a toy project as I learn go.

Prereqs

A few assumptions:

• You're running linux, or a POSIX compatible shell.
• You've cloned this repository to ~/rfk

Install go

You'll need go. See https://golang.org/dl/

cd
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz    
tar xvfz go1.5.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Setting up your go env for this project:

export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin
export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1
export GOPATH=~/go

Install rfk

Grab a copy of this repository via the go get command:

go get github.com/andynu/rfk

This will put the code in ~/go/src/github.com/andynu/rfk

Install mpg123

For the moment only files that mpg123 can play are supported. mpg123 is expected to be in your path.

sudo apt-get install mpg123

or download it from http://www.mpg123.de/

Configure your music library

RFK knows about your music from a songs.txt file that contains absolute paths to your song files (one per line).

mkdir -p ~/rfk/data/$(hostname)/
find / -name '*.mp3' > ~/rfk/data/$(hostname)/songs.txt

Build

cd ~/go/src/github.com/andynu/rfk
make

Run Server

./rfk-server

You should now be listening to random music.

Run Client

./rfk-cli skip

or

./rfk-cli reward

Hash your songs

cat songs.txt | ./rfk-ident > song_hashes.txt
