# Introducing Funkwhale
|

|
After some fiddling around on the server, I have managed to finally get a Funkwhale instance
|
|
set up! Funkwhale is a piece of software that will let us host our music libraries. You can listen
|
|
to your and others' music from the web interface, or use any compatible app on your phone or tablet.
|
|
Besides that, Funkwhale federates, much like our Akkoma instance. You will be able to listen to the
|
|
libraries of people on other instances as well!
|
|
|
|
On a technical note, getting Funkwhale to work took a little bit of doing; it has been manually
|
|
set up according to the installation instructions for Arch Linux, adapted here and there to suit
|
|
Fedora. One remaining irk because of this, is that Funkwhale was not made with SELinux in mind.
|
|
One remaining problem that you might run into is that freshly uploaded music may not play initially;
|
|
this is caused by incorrect SELinux permissions. I have currently added a cronjob that will check
|
|
these permissions and fix them every few minutes. If your music does not play, please wait a few
|
|
minutes and try again.
|
|
|
|
For the time being, users will be limited to 5GB libraries. If needed, you may request to have this
|
|
limit changed. Please do check before uploading if your music has already been uploaded by others;
|
|
preventing duplicate uploads will help conserve space on the server.

Happy listening! |
