Step 3: Adding music

We need to place our music in the directory we specified in the docker-compose.yml file, in our case ../music, which is most likely ~/music. We start by creating this folder. If you have the music you want to upload on the device you are accessing your server with, you can log out of SSH, and then run something like this: scp -r ./music user@192.168.1.x:user@<server IP>:~/music

scp (secure copy protocol) copiestransfers files through ssh, -r means recursive and itis required to transfer directories. ./music is the folder on the local device you want to transfer to your server. user is the remote user, 192.168.1.x<server IP> is the remote ip, the same one you use to connect to your server with ssh. :~/music means transfer the local files to the ~/music folder.

Depending on the size of your library, this might take a while...

After the transfer is finished, you can click on the icon in the top right,
and then on either of these icons (left one is quick scan, theright otherone is full scan). Music should now have appeared and you can click on play on any of these and it should just work!™
