Introduction
This chapter covers the installation and configuration of the open source audio and video streaming service, Ampache. It is a web-based streaming application that allows you to upload your own audio/video contents and access them across multiple Internet-enabled devices. You can easily set up your home media server using Ampache and your old personal computer running Ubuntu. We will focus on installing Ampache on the Ubuntu server, but you can install Ampache on any Linux distribution of your choice.
