⁠What is Mopidy?

Mopidy⁠ is a music server with support for MPD clients⁠ and Web clients⁠.

⁠Features of this image

• Follows official installation⁠ on top of Debian⁠.
• With Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient⁠ web extension.
• With upmpdcli⁠ to support DLNA.

You may install additional backend extensions⁠.

⁠Usage

⁠Setup pulseaudio on host machine

Since I run mopidy on my home server. No multi-user feature is used. So I run pulseaudio as system-wide daemon⁠.

⁠Install pulseaudio

On Centos:

sudo yum install pulseaudio

⁠Setup pulseaudio

Add following settings to /etc/pulse/system.pa to enable tcp service. So palseaudio client in docker can connect to the daemon over the network.

.ifexists module-esound-protocol-tcp.so
load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1
.endif
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1

Group settings.

usermod -a -G audio pulse
usermod -a -G bluetooth pulse
usermod -a -G pulse-access root 

⁠Start pulseaudio

/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no --realtime --system --disallow-exit
