Configuring Mopidy

General
1

As a newbie on Linux I need help to configure mopidy. I have a SBC (Freedombox Pioneer) with Debian/Freedombox and I think that I was able to successfully install mopidy. I have an external soundcard pluged into the usb-port. But despite all the reading I wasn’t able to configure mopidy. The issue is, that I can’t reach the webinterface. Here is the output of mopidy config:

[core]
cache_dir = $XDG_CACHE_DIR/mopidy
config_dir = $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/mopidy
data_dir = $XDG_DATA_DIR/mopidy
max_tracklist_length = 10000
restore_state = false

[logging]

[http]

[stream]

  https

metadata_blacklist =

[alsamixer]

volume_scale = cubic

[mpd]
enabled = true
hostname = 127.0.0.1

password = 
max_connections = 20
connection_timeout = 60
zeroconf = Mopidy MPD server on $hostname
command_blacklist = 
  listall
  listallinfo
default_playlist_scheme = m3u

My server runs on 192.168.178.46. But I was not able to adjust the configuration file.
When I start mopidy in the terminal I receive this output:

Does anybody have the nerves to help and guide me through the configuration?

kind regards

Take a look at Can't access Mopidy through localhost

Thank you @kingosticks! I did try these steps, but still get an error.
I have changed the configuration to hostname = 0.0.0.0 and when I go to 192.168.178.46:6680 in the browser the address is not accessible (the server is well reachable).
Starting mopidy in the terminal gives me this information:
HTTP server running at [::ffff:0.0.0.0]:6680
What am I doing wrong? Many thanks in advance!

The firewall didn’t let me on the system. I disabled the firewall and am now able to reach the server :slight_smile:

Thanks for the update. I’m not familiar with that distribution
