Description

This image contains MPD, icecast2 and MPD_sima in order to serve an audio stream over http.

MPD is looking for music in /music (music_directory option) and keeps its dataset in /var/lib/mpd (options: playlist_directory, {db,sticker,state}_file).

tl;dr

MUSIC=/path/to/my/music/library ./do start

Then point your MPD client to 127.0.0.1:6601. Audio stream from http://127.0.0.1:8001/sima.ogg .

You can set listening adress/port if needed:

MUSIC=/path/to/my/music/library \
LISTEN=192.168.0.10 \
ICEPORT=80 MPDPORT=6666
./do start
./do discover

ncmpc users can launch it from the container:

docker exec -it sima ncmpc-sima

Configuration

Running a container to play to content of your music library:

LISTEN=127.0.0.1
MUSIC="/path/to/my/music/library"
OPTIONS="-p ${LISTEN}:8001:8000"
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -p ${LISTEN}:6601:6600"
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} --volume ${MUSIC}:/music:ro"
docker run ${OPTIONS} --name sima kaliko/sima

The container sima is running with the following configuration:

• Music directory: /path/to/my/music/library
• Audio stream available from http://127.0.0.1:8001
• MPD available on 127.0.0.1:6601

It is quite useful to save MPD database once it has read all your Music library. In order to save it for later use with another container use a volume.

Here is an example on how to mount your music directory and save MPD database in ${PWD}/data:

mkdir -p ${PWD}/data
OPTIONS="-P --detach=true"
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -v ~/Music:/music:ro -v ${PWD}/data:/var/lib/mpd"
docker run ${OPTIONS} --name sima kaliko/sima
# Discover ports with "docker port sima"

Default option to run mpd-sima is "--log /var/log/mpd/mpd-sima.log".

Environment variable MPD_SIMA can be set to override default command line options.

This is especially useful to launch a container with preloaded configuration files:

• /etc/mpd-sima.album.cfg : Album mode queuing method
• /etc/mpd-sima.top.cfg : Top tracks queuing method

Running the album mode:

OPTIONS="-P --detach=true"
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -v ~/Music:/music:ro -v ${PWD}/data:/var/lib/mpd"
docker run --env="MPD_SIMA=--config /etc/mpd-sima.album.cfg" ${OPTIONS} --name sima kaliko/sima
# Discover ports with "docker port sima"

To run mpd-sima with your own configuration, mount the file in the running container. When /etc/mpd-sima.cfg is present in the container the default is to read it.

OPTIONS="-P --detach=true"
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -v ~/Music:/music:ro -v ${PWD}/data:/var/lib/mpd"
docker run -v ./my.config:/etc/mpd-sima.cfg ${OPTIONS} --name sima kaliko/sima
# Discover ports with "docker port sima"
