    You don't need to use that project, though. You could probably use Traefik, although I've never worked with it and I'm not sure whether this is the right tool for this purpose. You could also modify the nginx config and mount it into the raveberry-nginx container:

    One important thing: Since you want to use Spotify, you can not use a 64-bit OS. The reason is that the library providing the interface was deprecated years ago and is not available as a 64bit version.

    You can try Raveberry. It does support also local files.
  • Using an LED Ring with Raveberry
    5 projects | /r/Raveberry | 28 Nov 2021
    Raveberry is a project that makes parties more fun by allowing everybody to influence the music. With an LED ring in the transparent case of the Raspberry Pi, I tried to make it visually interesting as well. I want to share with you how the ring is connected and controlled, how I made the lights react to the music and how I modified the colors to make them a little more appealing.

    In order to do the forwarding, you need to configure a web server on your server. An example nginx config can be found here. This config listens on port 80 and forwards all traffic to port 9070. In this case Raveberry would do a reverse ssh tunnel that maps the pi's port 80 to port 9070 of your server. This way the pi thinks users connect directly to Raveberry and the devices of the users think they communicate directly with your server. The example file does not include https configuration. You would need to add that or run the provided configuration behind a proxy that already handles it. (eg nginx-proxy)

    nano reverse-proxy.conf 5. paste the code from here 6. Copy the configuration from /etc/nginx/sites-available to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/reverse-proxy.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/reverse-proxy.conf 7. Test the Nginx configuration file

    It's been a little over a year since Raveberry was released to the public with this post. For those that don't know, Raveberry is a music server that uses people's votes to determine the order in which songs are played (like a social jukebox).
