How to get and install OwnTone¶
You can compile and run OwnTone on pretty much any Linux- or BSD-platform. The instructions are here.
Apt repositories, images and precompiled binaries are available for some platforms. These can save you some work and make it easier to stay up to date:
| Platform | How to get |
|---|---|
| RPi w/Raspberry Pi OS | Add OwnTone repository to apt sources (See: Raspberry Pi Forums) |
| Debian/Ubuntu amd64 | Download the .deb package as artifact from the Github workflow (requires that you are logged in) |
| OpenWrt | Run opkg install libwebsockets-full owntone |
| Docker / Podman | See official image See alternate image |
| FreeBSD | Run pkg install owntone (See: FreeBSD ports) |
OwnTone is not in the official Debian repositories due to lack of Debian maintainer and Debian policy difficulties concerning the web UI, see this issue.
