docker-mpdsnap

This repository contains a docker-compose.yml file that runs 3 containers:

• mpd - Music Player Daemon
• ympd - MPD Web UI
• snapcast - SnapCast server

They are all based on Alpine linux - ideal for running on a NAS, or anything that can run Docker.

mpd outputs audio to a named pipe mpdstate/snapfifo which is also mounted into the snapcast container, which reads from there. mpd also stores its database and playlists in mpdstate. A run.sh script is included to automate the setup process.

Requirements

• docker
• docker-compose
• snapclient installed locally
• Some music

How to use:

• Copy the file example.env to .env and edit it as required.
• Execute ./run.sh and ensure that all the containers are healthy via docker-compose ps.
• Open http://$HOSTNAME:8080 (or whatever you changed YMPD_PORT to) and queue up some music
• Run snapclient -h $HOST and enjoy.
• Alternatively, open http://localhost:6680/mpd.ogg in your preferred music player (vlc works perfectly).
