This page describes how to compile and run myMPD with Termux.

Compile myMPD#

  1. Update the packages and install dependencies

    pkg upgrade
pkg install build-essential cmake perl pcre2 openssl libid3tag libflac lua54 git

  2. Clone the git repo (depth makes it download only the last commit making it much smaller and faster to download)

    git clone https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD.git --depth=1

  3. Change directory to the git repo and run build

    cd myMPD
cmake -B release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLUA_MATH_LIBRARY=/system/lib64/libm.so .
# substitute 'lib64' with 'lib' if you are on 32bit arch
make -C release

Initial config#

Create the config directory for myMPD and run it to create the config files from the environment variables

mkdir -p $HOME/.config/mympd

export MYMPD_HTTP_PORT=8080 # you can use '80' if using root
export MYMPD_LOGLEVEL=6
export MPD_HOST=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/run/mpd.socket # this is default for termux i think but check your /etc/mpd.conf value for bind_to_address
export MPD_PORT=35000 # choose whatever mpd you use in /etc/mpd.conf
export MYMPD_SSL=false # 'true' if using root
export MYMPD_SSL_PORT=443

$HOME/myMPD/release/bin/mympd -w $HOME/.config/mympd # run it

Running it#

After this run myMPD with just this, the rest is necessary for the first start only

$HOME/myMPD/release/bin/mympd -w $HOME/.config/mympd

Running with root (if you want to use lower ports, or use SSL)#

I made this little script which should run mympd as root with little trouble (run it as the user!)

#!/bin/bash
su root -c "$HOME/myMPD/release/bin/mympd -w $HOME/.config/mympd -u $(whoami)"

You can also prepend nohup before su to make it start in background and not stop even after closing the terminal

Thanks goes to sandorex for the Termux support.
