Quick install guide

Check these prerequisites:

  • ALSA compatible audio interface.

  • PipeWire version 1.0.0 or higher installed on the host machine.

  • In addition you will need the Pipewire JACK plugin (pipewire-jack).

  • Check your PipeWire Setup

Next, check if PipeWire is running with systemctl status pipewire.service

Deployment preparation steps:

git pull
git tag
   v1.0.0
   v1.1.0
git checkout tags/<release-version>
make aura-user.add
make aura-playout.pw.install
sudo reboot
make aura-playout.init

AURA Web after reboot

Make sure that AURA Web is still running after the reboot.

Modify relevant values in the newly created configuration file:

nano config/aura-playout/.env

Drop some music files into the folder audio/pool/fallback.

Then, connect your audio interface to the playout engine devices with pw-link.

After this is set, start AURA Playout with:

make aura-playout.up

Watch the health status and logs with:

docker ps
cd config/aura-playout && docker compose logs -f
