What is this?

nuclear is a free music streaming program that pulls content from free sources all over the internet.

If you know mps-youtube, this is a similar music player but with a GUI. It's also focusing more on audio. Imagine Spotify which you don't have to pay for and with a bigger library.

Pre-alpha release

The current version is a pre-alpha early access. Some of it is usable, some of it isn't. If there are things that don't work as expected or are counterintuitive, please open an issue so I can prioritize working on them.

What if I am religiously opposed to Electron?

See this.

Development process

You will need docker and docker-compose. As all Electron applications, Nuclear has two parts: the server and the web app. Both are containerized. You need to allow the root user to connect to X11 display, and then you can run docker-compose:

$ xhost SI:localuser:root
$ sudo docker-compose up dev

A new window should open that will load the web app and run Nuclear. On non-Linux systems, you can use lerna:

$ npm i -g lerna #installs lerna globally
$ lerna bootstrap
$ lerna run start

---

To build for current operating system:

$ npm run build

Instead of build you can use build:all to build for all operating systems. The binaries will be in packages/app/release

In case of errors with dbus/mpris, try removing optional dependencies from packages/app/package.json and node_modules.
