net-udap docker

Run net-udap in a docker container

Overview

Some years ago, I wrote a tool (net-udap) to configure Slim Devices Squeezebox Receivers without the accompanying Controller.

I still get people asking about it, and still get the odd paypal donation from satisfied users (really!).

However, it's never worked well on Windows machines - mostly due to the difficulty in installing some of the perl modules used by the tool.

This is an attempt to run net-udap in a docker container in the hope that it will function on any platform that supports docker.

Prerequisites

• docker

Getting started

1. Download the Dockerfile from this repository.

2. Build the docker image:

   Run this command from within the same directory as the Dockerfile

   docker build -t net-udap .

3. Create the container:

   Run this command:

   docker create -it --name=net-udap --network host net-udap

4. Run net-udap in the container:

   Run this command:

   docker start -ai net-udap

   You should land at the net-udap UDAP> prompt, from where you can follow the regular usage instructions.

   Note: you can combine the preceding two commands with the docker run command:

   docker run -it --name net-udap --network host net-udap

   When you exit net-udap the docker container is stopped. If you want to use it again, simply start it again using the docker start command.

5. Delete the container

   docker rm net-udap
