Installing Squeezebox Server on FreeBSD

Obtain the ports collection

This guide assumes that you have the ports collection in /usr/ports. If do not, you can fetch it readily using these commands (# is a root shell prompt):

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract

You may also use another method for acquiring the ports collection, as discussed in the FreeBSD Handbook here.

Install the port

Following the port installation guide in the FreeBSD Handbook here, install the port audio/squeezeboxserver.

# cd /usr/ports/audio/squeezeboxserver
# make install clean

Run and configure

Start the server using the following command:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/squeezeboxserver start

You may now connect to the web interface to configure the server.

Run on boot

If you'd like the server to start automatically on boot, simply add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:

squeezeboxserver_enable="YES"

You may use your favorite editor for this task--try ee if you don't know of any.
