In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install Koel using Docker on Rocky Linux 8.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Install Docker<\/h2>\n<p>First, ensure that your system is up-to-date:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo dnf update<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Next, install Docker:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo dnf install docker<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>After installation, start the Docker service and enable it to run at boot:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo systemctl start docker\r\nsudo systemctl enable docker<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 2: Pull the Koel Docker Image<\/h2>\n<p>Now, you need to pull the Koel Docker image from Docker Hub. Run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo docker pull koel\/koel<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Set Up Koel<\/h2>\n<p>To set up Koel, you will need to create a directory to hold the configuration files and your music collection. Create a directory called <code>koel<\/code>:<\/p>\n<pre><code>mkdir ~\/koel<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 4: Run the Koel Container<\/h2>\n<p>Now, run the Koel container using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo docker run -d \\\r\n    --name koel \\\r\n    -p 80:80 \\\r\n    -v ~\/koel:\/music \\\r\n    koel\/koel<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 5: Access Koel Web Interface<\/h2>\n<p>Once the container is running, you can access the Koel web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to:<\/p>\n<pre><code>http:\/\/your_server_ip<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>You will be prompted to log in. The default credentials are usually provided in the documentation, or you may need to configure them based on your setup.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Configure Your Music Collection<\/h2>\n<p>To add music to your Koel server, place your audio files in the <code>~\/koel<\/code> directory you created earlier. You may need to refresh the Koel interface to see your music collection.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 7: Enable Auto Restart (Optional)<\/h2>\n<p>If you want the Koel server to restart automatically after a system reboot, you can modify the Docker run command to include the restart policy:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo docker run -d \\\r\n    --name koel \\\r\n    --restart unless-stopped \\\r\n    -p 80:80 \\\r\n    -v ~\/koel:\/music \\\r\n    koel\/koel<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>You have successfully installed the Koel Music Streaming Server using Docker on Rocky Linux 8.
