I have mopidy running on a headless Raspberry Pi and I’m looking for a ‘comfortable’ client.
One possibility is a web client like Mopidy-Muse but I’m rather confused about how this works. I _think_ it should be installed on the same system as Mopidy but then how do you connect to it as Mopidy is listening on port 6680 and mopidy-mpd is listening on 6600.
If someone could point me at a basic configuration for Mopidy-Muse that would be very welcome!

Mopidy web extensions such as Mopidy-Muse are _extensions_ to Mopidy and so must be installed on the same system as Mopidy. Mopidy-Muse is a web extension, so it would be accessed via port 6680. It has nothing to do with Mopidy-MPD on port 6600.

But Mopidy itself defaults to using port 6680, doesn’t that clash with
Mopidy-muse or does Mopidy-muse take over the interface?

Mopidy-Muse isn’t an HTTP server listening on a port. It’s a web application served by Mopidy.
Once you’ll have installed Mopidy-Muse extension, you’ll be able to fetch Muse code using a web browser visiting the URL of Mopidy.
In other words, Mopidy-Muse **extends** the web interface.

If you visit port 6680 in your browser, the default page there is a list of all webclients installed with a link to each one. There’s also a mopidy config option to change the default page to take you straight to you preferred client instead. As mentioned, Mopidy extensions extend Mopidy.

Ah, OK, I understand now. It wasn’t clear (to me anyway) from the
descriptions I could find.

To be fair, Mopidy Web clients don’t technically _need_ to be Mopidy Extensions. It’s just they usually (always?) are because it is much simpler for everyone that way. I’m not sure where would be a good place to make this clearer but if you have any suggestions please do let us know and happy to improve the docs.

What are the most up-to-date web clients taht are still being maintained and are there more that are not listed on the Mopidy web page? As quite a few from that list don’t appear to have had recent updates.

[Argos](https://github.com/orontee/argos) is a maintained client not mentioned on the web page (but it’s not a web client… I apologize for this slightly off-topic answer; Disclaimer: I am the maintainer).

You can fix that…! Propose a new section if it doesn’t fit.

Thanks, I looked at this earlier actually, I am running almost all of my items headless so this doesn’t work for me at the moment. Although it did look interesting - I might try this on one of my tablets so I don’t have to run it in kiosk mode.

I am not sure I understand. Argos, like almost any client, can run localy or remotely. Why the server being headless matters then?
“Headless” means without display, right?
