Changes from original source

Usage (Copied from original instructions)

This is a Docker image for running the Logitech Media Server package (aka SqueezeboxServer).

Run Directly:

docker run -p 9000:9000 \
           -p 9090:9090 \
           -p 3483:3483 \
           -p 3483:3483/udp \
           -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
           -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
           -v <local-state-dir>:/srv/squeezebox \
           -v <audio-dir>:/srv/music \
           doliana/logitech-media-server:latest-7.9.2

The web interface runs on port 9000. If you also want this available on port 80 (so you can use http://yourserver/ without a port number as the URL), you can add -p 80:9000, but you must also include -p 9000:9000 because the players expect to be able to contact the server on that port.

Using docker-compose

There is a docker-compose-logitech-media-server.yml included in this repository that you will let you bring up a Logitech Media Server container using docker-compose. The compose file includes the following:

volumes:
  - ${AUDIO_DIR}:/srv/music

To provide a value for AUDIO_DIR, create a .env file that points AUDIO_DIR at the location of your music library, for example:

AUDIO_DIR=/home/USERNAME/Music

File conversion (custom-convert.conf)

It is possible to define custom commands for the conversion of file types (Settings/Advanced/File Types) and to redefine existing ones. This is useful when the players do not support some file types, to make the server transcode to a supported file type, using predefined commands on the server. There is little documentation of this feature. This (forum thread)[https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107012-Transcode-Resample-Custom-convert-conf] gives the basic steps. To do this, create a custom-convert.conf file and mount it to your container by adding this volume directive (assuming the file is in the current working directory).

-v $PWD/custom-convert.conf:/etc/squeezeboxserver/custom-convert.conf 

Using with Pulseaudio

This container can use the host Pulseaudio server directly with those 2 steps: Enable Pulseaudio UNIX socket on the host

pactl load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1 auth-cookie-enabled=0 socket=/tmp/pulseaudio.socket

When running the container, link the socket through a volume

-v /tmp/pulseaudio.socket:/tmp/pulseaudio.socket
