vitiman/alpine-mpd repository overview

⁠alpine-mpd

This is an image for my favorite music server application MPD⁠. Using alpine as Cthe operating system.

This image is configured to use with Icecast as streaming output. You can edit the mpd.conf or use the fully audio stack I created. Check below about docker-music-stack⁠

Check alpine-mpd⁠, alpine-icecast⁠, alpine-sima⁠ and alpine-ympd⁠.

⁠How to use

You can create volumes for your music, playlists and/or database, or use host volumes instead, you need to replace your_SOMETHING_volume with your host path or own volume.

docker run -d -p 6600:6600 \
    -v your_music_volume:/var/lib/mpd/music \
    -v your_playlists_volume:/var/lib/mpd/playlists \
    -v your_database_volume:/var/lib/mpd/database \
    --name mpd vitiman/alpine-mpd:latest

An instance of mpd is now running with the port 6600 mapped to your host or docker-machine IP address.

⁠Custom configuration

Check the repository and you will find an mpd.conf you can edit and set your custom configuration. You just need to build the image again.

The passwords in the current configuration are just for testing purposes.

⁠Docker-music-stack

I've made a group of images for a full music-stack fully working.

• mpd⁠ My favorite music server application
• icecast⁠: To stream the audio over the world
• sima⁠: Autoqueue client. Never stop listen!
• ympd⁠: A minimal Web GUI.

Check the Github repository⁠ or the rest of images in Docker Hub. There is a docker-compose to setup everything.

⁠Execution

You have two options to execute all the stack, using docker-compose⁠ or launching the containers one-by-one, your choice.

The default access to applications are:

• mpd: http://localhost:6600 or http://docker_machine_ip:6600
• icecast streaming: http://localhost:8000/mpd or http://docker_machine_ip:8000/mpd
• ympd gui: http://localhost:8080 or http://docker_machine_ip:8080

⁠Docker Compose

Clone this repo. Edit docker-compose.yml and add your host volumes for your music, playlists and/or database, then:

docker-compose up -d
