Ampache is a free software web-based audio file manager and media server. The name is a blend of the words "amplifier" and "Apache". Originally written to take advantage of Apache's mod_mp3 module, it has since been adapted to use its own streaming method.
Ampache is a web based audio/video streaming application and file manager allowing you to access your music & videos from anywhere, using almost any internet enabled device. The recommended and most stable version is the current stable release7 branch. You get the latest version with recent changes and fixes but maybe in an unstable state from our develop branch. Please see the wiki and don't forget to check out the basic config guide after that. A web server. All of the following have been used, though Ampache receives the most testing with Apache: Apache lighttpd nginx IIS NOTE That php7.4 is not supported for Ampache6 but can still be built. PHP modules: PDO PDO MYSQL hash session json (included in php8+) fileinfo (Required in Ampache 8.0.0 and higher usually included in PHP) intl simplexml curl zip (Required in Ampache 7.0.0 and higher) If you are upgrading from an older version of Ampache we recommend moving the old directory out of the way, extracting the new copy in its place and then copying the old /config/ampache.cfg.php, /rest/.htaccess, and /play/.htaccess files if any. All database updates will be handled by Ampache. There are a lot of automation and helper tools used to help keep the Ampache release processes running smoothly. The Ampache Administrator repo is used to build, document and test all Ampache releases. The ampache-python3 repo is used heavily in the admin repo and provides a few example scripts to do some simple tasks using the latest API versions.
