Spotify Daemon in Docker

Repository building spotifyd for docker for ARM (armv7/arm64) and AMD (x32/x64) architectures. This workflow builds the mixture of feature configurations consisting of alsa/pulseaudio audio-backend and with/without D-Bus API for controlling spotifyd through generic media players.

How to run it

docker run -d --net host --group-add $(getent group audio | cut -d: -f3) --device /dev/snd:/dev/snd -v /usr/share/alsa:/usr/share/alsa -v $PWD/contrib/spotifyd.conf:/etc/spotifyd.conf hvalev/spotifyd-XXX where you need to replace XXX with the appropriate image in https://hub.docker.com/u/hvalev. or with docker-compose:

version: '3'
services:
	spotifyd:
		image: "hvalev/spotifyd-XXX"
		network_mode: "host"
		devices:
			- "/dev/snd:/dev/snd"
		volumes:
			- "/usr/share/alsa:/usr/share/alsa"
			- "/etc/spotifyd/spotifyd.conf:/etc/spotifyd.conf"
			- "/etc/asound.conf:/etc/asound.conf"
		group_add:
			- "${AUDIO_GRP}"

How to build it

Grab the dockerfile you wish to build and remove --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM from the first image. At the moment rust-fix intermediary image exists to go around this bug.

Limitations

Spotifyd requires a Spotify Premium account.
