Aurial is a browser-based HTML/JavaScript client interface for streaming music from Subsonic, Airsonic, Navidrome, or other software and services implementing the Subsonic API, and does does not require the use of a Flash-based player or plugin.
Aurial's aim is to provide a simple, intuitive and straight-forward interface to browse and play your music, and to be as easy to deploy as it is to configure and use.
As such, it focusses exclusively on playback of your music library, and by design does not support other media types, such as video, podcasts or internet radio.
The latest build is always deployed at the above URL, feel free to make use of it for your own purposes, or play around with it prior to hosting your own copy.
For convenience, the latest automated build is available for download, so you do not need to configure or set up a build environment (if you do want to build it yourself, see the instructions below).
To "install", simply extract the archive into a directory exposed via an HTTP service (there's no need for any server-side scripting or database), and browse to that location.
Configuration is done on the "Settings" tab of the main application interface.
Note that the current look and functionality may differ from what is shown here, as the application is still under development.
The project is built via NPM and Webpack.
Install npm
for your platform, and then execute the following in the project
root directory (alternatively, yarn
may also be used):
$ npm install
$ npm run <watch|dist|start>
A dist
directory will be produced containing the built output, which may be
served via an HTTP server and accessed via a web browser.
watch
includes additional debug information, which may not be optimal for
production or general-use deployments, and produces a significantly larger
download; it recompiles code as changes are made. dist
will produce
uglified and minified output suitable for "production" deployment. start
will
run Aurial in Webpack's dev server on port 8080 (or next available port above
that), and allows automatic reloading of the page as code changes are made.
