MOD Devices host and UI for Linux

Post by baj »

Hi!
I just discovered https://www.moddevices.com/ and I really love the concept around mod-host and mod-ui.Playing with the UI feels great.

I've made a docker container and a script to quickly launch a self contained mod-host + mod-ui with all the kxrepos LV2 plugins that plugs into your machine JACK server.

This essentially turns your rig into a some sort of mod device, of course with no store support, portability and curated plugins, and all the extra goodies of the MOD project, but I found it really great to use as a pedalboard or as quick effect builder.

You only need to have JACK running, have docker installed and be member of the audio group.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Awesome. I've added it to the LV2 wiki. Related is the MODEP project.

It comes with all the LV2 plugins available in the KXs repos. If you want to use your own plugins, you can bind mount a folder containing the lv2 in `docker-compose.yml`file on the mod-host service

ex:

Code: Select all

    volumes:
      - ~/my_plugins:/usr/lib/lv2
I haven't tested though!

I tried to get it to work but even after installing docker successfully I get the error messages: " Her https://registry-1.docker.ii/v2/: dial TCP: lookup registry-1.docker.io: no such host
./run.sh: line 8: docker-compose: command not found." I followed all the instructions on the readme file but that's all I get. I am using AvLinux 2020.

Thanks a lot

Hey thanks for reporting, if you do

Code: Select all

docker images
does anything come up?
Can you run docker without sudo? We need this so it can use your current user jack session...

EDIT:
I think I accidentally remove mod-host from the run.sh file, can you try again ??

Hi, no unfortunately I can't run docker without super user privileges. When I run the command "docker images" I get the following message:

REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED

I don't think it will work with sudo... (not really sure) you can try calling that script from an elevated shell or if you are interested:
