librespot-snapserver

Run a Snapcast server with Spotify support as a Docker container.

This is a multi-arch image currently working on the amd64 and armhf platforms. This means you can use the same image regardless of platform.

Note: You need a Spotify premium account.

Usage

Run it like this (on your PC or ARM-based device):

docker run -d --name snapserver --net host -e DEVICE_NAME=Snapcast mazzolino/librespot-snapserver

That will make the device available to all Spotify clients in your network. Add your Spotify credentials in order to limit control to clients logged in with your account:

docker run -d --name snapserver --net host -e DEVICE_NAME=Snapcast -e USERNAME=my-spotify-username -e PASSWORD=my-spotify-password mazzolino/librespot-snapserver

Now you can connect your snapclient to your host's ip. The receiver should show up in Spotify under the DEVICE_NAME given above (e.g. Snapcast). Have fun playing music!

Building the images

• The following lines will build and push your image. Use the build make target in order to just build the image locally.
• Replace my/image with your own image name.

On your ARM device:

sudo make IMAGE_NAME=my/image ARCH=armhf

Then, on your PC:

sudo make IMAGE_NAME=my/image
make manifest IMAGE_NAME=my/image

Notes:

• Add SNAPCAST_VERSION=x.xx.x in order to build a different version of snapcast or LIBRESPOT_VERSION=x.x.x to build a different version of librespot.
