    For multi-room-audio, I use Iris+Mopidy+Snapcast [2] alternative frontend to my Funkwhale library.

  • DAE hate when you just want to listen to a music playlist in shuffle order and it starts to play the first song?

    Right now I'm reading about mopidy and iris (I have a server with some docker services and it would be nice using it as a Spotify connect device), I think this setup could be extended with extra algorithms, maybe they already exist as modipy extensions. I've never gone into detail about these but I'll do it!
  • Recommendations for multi room speaker setup that works without internet access (LAN only, with media from Jellyfin)

    I would give Iris a shot, it primary a multi-room-audio interface and includes/builds on Snapcast, Mopidy etc.. It also has all the connections you can wish for (Youtube, Spotify, Soundlcloud connections etc.; and of course local Media, Funkwhale ...).

    My Server runs Proxmox; I have several Unprivileged LXC Container which run individual Docker Systems inside (another blog post on this); one such is the Iris/Mopidy Container that acts like a "audio-gateway" in my setup. My iris container is based off the official docker-compose.yml. If not playing multi-room audio, I do prefer Funkwhale - I have my own private Funkwhale instance, that plays local mp3 files (mounted read-only). Iris/Mopidy connect via API to my Funkwhale and I can search my audio collection from Iris, too (I had to create a inherited docker container from the Iris one)
  • Snapcast โ€“ Synchronous multi-room audio player

    Snapcast is awesome, especially when bundled together with Iris and Mopidy [1], which included links to Youtube, Soundcloud, Funkwhale, podcasts, streams (etc). I wrote a blog post on how to build a small Raspi Zero Image for Snapcast [2] that directly connects to the Snapserver included in (e.g.) the Iris Docker [3]. I added a modified Docker Image for Iris that includes the Funkwhale extension here [4]. Works flawlessly since 2 years, almost zero maintenance and great music experience. My synchronized Snapcast extents through several rooms and two houses (120km apart), through IPSEC with a very small bandwidth (5000kbit up). Many thanks to all the maintainers of this stunning stack of OSS.

  • What do you all use/recommend for a music streaming service in Docker?
    7 projects | /r/selfhosted | 17 Jan 2022
    Absolutely recommend Funkwhale, it is a fantastic designed app and perfect music experience. I use it to play local music from a read-only mount. In addition, I can recommend Iris, which can connect to Funkwhale, next to other sources (Youtube, Soundcloud etc.) for distributed synced multi-room playback.
  • Sending self-hosted music "to speaker"
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 17 Aug 2021
    Have a look at Snapcast. It has a (tiny) server component (e.g. bundled in Iris) and a super-tiny player component that can be run on Raspery Pi Zero's. You play music through the Iris interface and all Snapcast Clients forward the stream of what is currently played to the speakers.

    I used the Iris docker-compose.yml, which includes both snapserver and mopidy. My personal library is connected to this via local Funkwhale API. Also, here is a description how to self-built a $15 PI Zero WH for client/consuming music.
  • Music streaming - *sonic vs plex vs something else?
