Faircamp setup help

Hi! I’m trying to set up faircamp which is like a bandcamp alternative. If I’m understanding correctly it’s a self-hosted static site. I’m new to all this. I’m on a mac, so I’ve installed Brew and then installed Faircamp using Terminal. It’s currently pointing to “Audio Music Apps” folder which is full of audio...

Hello! If you’ve installed it with brew, you have faircamp working (no need for Linux). Are you familiar with Terminal? And how to use “cd” to move around? Is that what you mean by “point it to” your faircamp folder? For example, you would just type “cd /path/to/your/faircamp/folder”

It doesn’t matter where the faircamp folder is, it will build the site wherever you run the faircamp —preview command. (Sorry my phone isn’t formatting this correctly, there are two hyphens before “preview” 😆)

If you’re working from something like my tutorial here, all the Linux instructions and commands will be the same using Brew + Terminal :)

Hm, if it thinks the font is Courier my guess is TextEdit is adding a file extension (like .rtf or something)

It needs to be just a .eno … maybe it’s like .eno.txt ?

You might be able to check that from Finder? But if not, you can see exactly what’s in your Faircamp folder (once you have used cd (current directory) to get in there) with this command:

ls

which lists everything in your current directory

That’s very weird! So you get the error message when you run faircamp --preview after editing your .eno?

And is there one .eno in your “Artist Name” folder, and another .eno in each “Release” folder?

If you’re on Mastodon or similar, I recommend the tag, loads of us try to help out on that! There may be someone more familiar with faircamp on Mac & brew who can help…

If not, you could try making an issue here: codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues
