linuxserver/daapd

[][hub][][hub] [hub]: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/daapd/

[Forked-Daapd][daapdurl] (iTunes) media server with support for AirPlay devices, Apple Remote (and compatibles), Chromecast, MPD and internet radio.

[][daapdurl] [daapdurl]: https://ejurgensen.github.io/forked-daapd/

Usage

docker create \
--name=daapd \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to music>:/music \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
--net=host \
linuxserver/daapd

Parameters

• --net=host - must be run in host mode
• -v /config - Where daapd server stores its config and dbase files.
• -v /music - map to your music folder
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it daapd /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

Map your music folder, open up itunes on the same LAN to see your music there. For further setup options of remotes etc, check out the daapd website, [Forked-daapd][daapdurl].

Logs and shell
