Gopherlink is designed to run on Linux. Windows + Mac OS are untested.
Docker is the preffered method of installation, you can use the application this way via the provided Dockerfile.
If you do not wish to use Docker, you can use the application the following way.
In Debian based systems this can be done with
apt-get update && apt-get install -y libopus-dev libopusfile-dev ffmpeg python3
You will have to aquire Go yourself as the Debian repositories do not have it.
You will also have to aquire an executable for yt-dlp, this can be found here.
In Arch based systems you can do this easily via an AUR helper like yay.
yay -Syy opus opusfile ffmpeg python3 yt-dlp go
Gopherlink is written in Go (surprisingly enough) and can be built very easily.
First if you haven't already, you must clone the repository with
git clone https://github.com/damaredayo/gopherlink.git
Then, you will want to enter the directory with cd gopherlink/app at which point you can run
go build -o gopherlink
Which will build the application, it can then be ran via ./gopherlink
There is currently one environment variable which is the path of yt-dlp.
The name of this environment variable is YTDL_PATH.
Gopherlink will currently NOT work without this.
Gopherlink uses GRPC currently to communicate over a network. There ARE plans to move away from this (as I hate protobuf with a burning passion).
The protobuf files can be found at https://github.com/damaredayo/gopherlink/tree/master/proto
If you do not wish to use GRPC (I don't blame you) then you can use Gopherlink like a go package instead without having to build the application.
This can be easily done with go get by doing
go get -u github.com/damaredayo/gopherlink
The functions are fairly idiomatic, if you have worked with Lavalink in the past then the basic flow will feel very familiar.
Examples of implementation with both methods will come soon. (I will likely move away from GRPC first.)
