djbills Posted September 1, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2016 There are reports of people getting an Ampache music server to work with their Synology. Seems to be editing some config files so that the proper folders are shared on the internet. There's seemingly no package for it (although there are hints at attempts in a couple of places), but apparently possible to manually install. Has anyone done this to where they could help walk me through a step by step? I'd love to get this going. Seems like just what I've been after for mobile access to my music library. Thank you!

brantje Posted September 1, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2016 You can run Ampache in docker. Posted via Xpenology.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbills Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted September 2, 2016 Interesting. Found this guide I might look for a more direct method since people seem to have been able to get it going minus the owncloud and docker overhead. But it makes for a good fall back plan - thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbills Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted September 21, 2016 Ended up going the docker route (and just skipping the Owncloud bits) and it's working fantastically. Wow, docker really opens up a ton more app functionality - a whole new world! Very cool. Thanks for the tip. Ampache running flawlessly and I have access to my music collection again! yee haw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holybabel Posted September 22, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 22, 2016 Ampache looks nice, but whats the benefit compared to synologys own audio station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbills Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted October 2, 2016 Oh, I don't know, never tried audio station. Didn't interest me, too many things I was like "wait it doesn't have that?" I used to have a subsonic server and got addicted to all of the things you can do with it. But they wanted $. Ampache one ups subsonic - does a democractic playlist which was at the top of my list. Found a great iOS player, too (AVSub) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
