Browser based MPD client.

Made with Elm and display:grid.

Releases

Binary releases are on the releases page.

Build

• you need a Go (>=1.9) and an Elm (0.18) compiler
• make
• run the binary from ./siren/siren
• open http://localhost:6601/

All resources are bundled in the binary, so you can copy it over to other machines.

Raspberry Pi build

Thanks to Go's cross-platform support you can build Siren on your laptop, and copy the executable to your Rasberry Pi.

• you need a Go compiler on your laptop
• make build-pi
• copy siren/siren to your Raspberry Pi
• open http://your_raspberry:6601/

Running

Siren connects to the mpd at localhost:6600 by default. Change it with for example: ./siren -mpd=192.168.1.2:6600

If you don't want to make Siren available to everyone in you subnet, use: ./siren -listen=localhost:6601

Artist vs Albumartist

By default Siren uses the albumartist field for the artist browse screen. If you want to use the artist instead field you can specify that with: ./siren -albumartist=false.

NGINX

Suggested nginx config:

        location /siren/ { 
                location /siren/mpd/ws { 
                        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; 
                        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; 
                        proxy_http_version 1.1; 
                        proxy_set_header Host $host; 
                        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6601/mpd/ws; 
                } 
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6601/; 
        } 

Development

Usually the CSS and compiled Elm files are embedded in the executable, but you can use the filesystem while developing. Run siren with:

./siren/siren --docroot ./docroot
