toertel/logitech-media-server repository overview

⁠Docker Container for Lyrion Music Server

This Docker image runs Lyrion Music Server⁠ (formerly Logitech Media Server, SlimServer, SqueezeCenter, and Squeezebox Server) on multiple architectures:

• amd64 (x86_64)
• arm32v7 (e.g. Raspberry Pi 2/3/4)
• arm64v8

This project forks the archived larsks/docker-image-logitech-media-server⁠ repository. The source code and automatic builds are maintained at GitLab toertel/docker-image-logitech-media-server⁠. The container images are available in multiple tagged versions through Docker Hub toertel/logitech-media-server⁠.

⁠Run directly

docker run -d --init \
           -p 9000:9000 \
           -p 9090:9090 \
           -p 3483:3483 \
           -p 3483:3483/udp \
           -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
           -v <local-state-dir>:/srv/squeezebox \
           -v <audio-dir>:/srv/music \
           toertel/logitech-media-server

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.

In case you are running multiple LMS instances in the same network which shall be able to discover another you have to add the option --network host. You should only do this if you really need this feature and you have an idea what the side effects are.

The local-state-dir /srv/squeebox stores prefs, logs, and cache. If it is not explicitly mounted during the start of the container an anonymous volume will be created.

⁠Using docker-compose

There is a docker-compose.yml⁠ included in this repository that you will let you bring up a LMS container using docker-compose. The compose file includes the following:

volumes:
  - "${AUDIO_DIR}:/srv/music:ro"
  - "${PLAYLIST_DIR}:/srv/playlists"

To provide a value for AUDIO_DIR and PLAYLIST_DIR, create file named .env that points AUDIO_DIR and PLAYLIST_DIR at the location of your music library and the playlist folder respectively, for example:

AUDIO_DIR=/home/USERNAME/Music
PLAYLIST_DIR=/home/USERNAME/Playlists

The local-state-dir is created in a named volume squeezebox. If you want to use a host directory instead you need to modify the docker-compose.yml⁠ accordingly.

⁠Additional parameters

The user and group ID used to run LMS can be configured using the container's SQUEEZE_UID and SQUEEZE_GID environment variables.

⁠Image building process

The official Docker Hub images at toertel/logitech-media-server⁠ are built using GitLab CI/CD. See .gitlab-ci.yml⁠ for details.
