Files

• Asteroid-Low-Orbit.m3u - Original playlist with relative paths
• Asteroid-Low-Orbit-DOCKER.m3u - Ready for VPS deployment (Docker container paths)

For VPS Deployment

The Asteroid-Low-Orbit-DOCKER.m3u file is ready to use on the VPS (b612).

Installation Steps

1. Copy the file to the VPS:

   scp scripts/Asteroid-Low-Orbit-DOCKER.m3u glenneth@b612:~/asteroid/stream-queue.m3u

2. Ensure music files exist on VPS:

   • Music should be in /home/glenneth/Music/
   • The directory structure should match the paths in the playlist
   • Example: /home/glenneth/Music/Vector Lovers/City Lights From a Train.flac

3. Restart Liquidsoap container:

   cd ~/asteroid/docker
   docker-compose restart liquidsoap

How It Works

• Host path: /home/glenneth/Music/ (on VPS)
• Container path: /app/music/ (inside Liquidsoap Docker container)
• Playlist paths: Use /app/music/... because Liquidsoap reads from inside the container

The docker-compose.yml mounts the music directory:

volumes:
  - ${MUSIC_LIBRARY:-../music/library}:/app/music:ro

Playlist Contents

This playlist contains ~50 tracks of ambient/IDM music curated for Asteroid Radio's "Low Orbit" programming block.

Notes for Fade & easilok

• This playlist is ready to deploy to b612
• All paths are formatted for the Docker container setup
• Music files need to be present in /home/glenneth/Music/ on the VPS
• The playlist can be manually copied to replace stream-queue.m3u when ready
• No changes to the main project repository required
