Rubify is a web application written in PHP8.x for MiniDLNA, Spotify-like. MiniDLNA is a light DLNA UPnP server largely based on MusicBrainz, that creates a gallery of media sources. When used for audio files, it allows to class them automatically based on the tags of the audio files.
Rubify is an interface that allows you to browse your audio files and play them, to manage custom playlists and favorites, put the tracks in a queue, get the lyrics remotely,... You can navigate through the menus without stopping the music. It's not obstrusive, all the operations are done asynchronously to let you enjoy your favorite tracks.

You can also browse by Album, Artist, Genre, Folder, create your own playlists, check the history and upload your audio files to the server directly from the web application. This web app uses a default template based on Bootstrap 5 and JQuery, which is fully responsive for mobile devices.
This is NOT an Android APK but a Web Application (like a Website) and you can access to it with any browser like Chrome or Firefox. From server side, it is recommended to run this web app under Apache2 for domestic purposes
- miniDLNA running as a daemon service in your server. Further info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiniDLNA
- Apache2 Web Server
- PHP8.x, fpm preferred
- PHP8.x SQLite Extension
- getID3 installer with composer. Further info at https://www.getid3.org>
The most efficient and secured structure to run this web app is
yoursite.com
│ configuration.php
│ index.php
│ README.md
| ...
└───cache
└───includes
└───local
└───models
└───static
└───templates
└───vendor
You can create a directory in your main Apache web application that points to /yoursite.com folder. The whole Apache2 setup (mysite.conf) would be like this
Alias "/rubify" "/path/to/your/site/public"
<Directory "/path/to/your/site/public">
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options FollowSymLinks

<IfModule "mod_headers.c">

You must setup the minidlna.conf file to force the refresh. Hereinafter a functional example:
user=minidlna
media_dir=A,/path/to/your/uploads
media_dir=A,/path/to/your/dlna/storage
db_dir=/var/lib/minidlna
log_dir=/var/log/minidlna
root_container=M
port=8200
presentation_url=https://yoursite.com
inotify=yes
notify_interval=60
Rubify can be fully configured by overriding the file configuration.php.
class RbfyConfig
{
public $sitename = 'Rubify';
public $live_site = 'https://yoursite.com';
public $use_cache = true;
public $use_symlink = false;
public $use_autolog = false;
public $enable_upload = true;
public $key = 'put-here-a-long-encryption-key';
public $list_limit = 60;
public $minidlna = [
'dir' => '/var/lib/minidlna',
'http' => 'http://192.168.2.1:8200'
];
public $theme = 'default';
}
- sitename: (string) Your site name
- live_site: (string) Your host URL
- use_cache: (bool) If you want to store the thumbnails into a local directory under your webserver root. This will avoid to use symbolic links
- use_symlink: (bool) Not recommended. If your webserver runs on the same machine than minidlna, you can create a symlink at /webroot/cache/thumbnails that points to /var/lib/minidlna/art_cache.
- use_autolog: (bool) Not recommended. This allow to login to Rubify automatically if the client is within the same network than the webserver. For instance, if your host IP is 192.168.1.1, all the clients connected from 192.168.1.0/24 will be logged without using a user/password. This will disable the use of a user profile.
- enable_upload: (bool) This allows a user to upload his own music files. The allowed formats are webm, m4a, mp3. All of them will be transcoded into mp3 and the tags ID3 will be added conveniently. MiniDLNA will detect them and classify in the gallery
- key: (string) This is an encryption key used for securtiy purposes. The user's databases and cookies are all encrypted with. The more the key is complex, the more the security is enhanced.
- list_limit: (integer) This is the number of items to display on a page. Default is 60
- minidlna: (array) This contains the details of your minidlna server
-
dir: (string) Directory of the files.db database -
http: (string) URL as written in the /etc/minidlna.conf file.
