Libra

Libra is a new, open, and extensible music service. Libra does what you want, how you want.

The current goal is to have LibraCore at a releasable state by the end of 2024.

Setup Steps

Before anything else, you need to set up the database. Install one of the following databases and follow its steps:

SQLite

No additional steps are needed to use SQLite.

PostgreSQL

To create the PostgreSQL database, run the following commands:

sudo -u postgres createuser -P libra
sudo -u postgres createdb -O libra -E UTF-8 libra

Dependencies:

• SQLite or PostgreSQL
• yt-dlp and ytmusicapi for the YouTube source
• FFmpeg

Development

To run all tests, run make test. If you don't have every supported database type installed, you can skip database tests by setting the following environment variables:

• SKIP_SQLITE_TESTS
• SKIP_POSTGRESQL_TESTS

Roadmap

In the future, the project aims for the following:

• A simple but powerful backend & API
• A beautiful and accessible frontend for all platforms, both web and native
• An opt-in playback syncing mechanism to share what is currently playing between applications on either one or every device
• A plugins system, so you can extend Libra even more than normal
• An Amazon Alexa skill
• An Obsidian plugin to control your music while taking notes
