https://gitlab.com/RemixDev/deemix-gui/-/tree/main

Standalone GUI, Server or one-file Server for Linux/Win/Mac x86:
https://download.deemix.app/0:/

Note: all of the above require an arl = arl cookie after logging into (free) deezer account. i.e. F12 in Firefox, storage, cookies, arl, then copy the content. The cookie is valid for 3 months.
Entering the arl cookie in the web interface stores it per client. Storing it in ~/.config/deemix/.arl and using --serverwide-arl flag can use the same for all clients.

Linux install/update of server with static libraries:
<code - update-deemix.sh>
#!/bin/bash
echo "Downloading latest version..."
wget https://download.deemix.app/server/linux-x64-latest
if [ -f "linux-x64-latest" ];
then
    echo "Backing up old version..."
    sudo rm -rf /opt/deemix-server-old
    sudo mv /opt/deemix-server /opt/deemix-server-old
    sudo mkdir /opt/deemix-server
    sudo mv linux-x64-latest /opt/deemix-server/deemix-server
    sudo chmod 755 /opt/deemix-server/deemix-server
    echo "Restarting deemix server..."
    systemctl --user restart deemix
    echo "Done!"
else
    echo "Download failed, not updating!"
