Usage

General usage (see mopidy commands):

$ docker run -d \
      -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd --lxc-conf='lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 116:* rwm' \
      -v $PWD/media:/var/lib/mopidy/media:ro \
      -v $PWD/local:/var/lib/mopidy/local \
      -p 6600:6600 -p 6680:6680 \
      wernight/mopidy \
      -o spotify/username=USERNAME -o spotify/password=PASSWORD \
      -o gmusic/username=USERNAME -o gmusic/password=PASSWORD \
      -o soundcloud/auth_token=TOKEN

Most elements are optional (see some examples below). Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, TOKEN accordingly if needed, or disable services (e.g., -o spotify/enabled=false):

• For Spotify you'll need a Premium account.
• For Google Music use your Google account (if you have 2-Step Authentication, generate an app specific password).
• For SoundCloud, just get a token after registering.

Ports:

• 6600 - MPD server
• 6680 - HTTP server

Volumes:

• /var/lib/mopidy/media - Path to directory with local media files (optional).
• /var/lib/mopidy/local - Path to directory to store local metadata such as libraries and playlists in (optional).
• /dev/snd - Used to share ALSA socket and play audio along with --lxc-conf (see http://stackoverflow.com/q/28985714/167897).

Example using HTTP client to stream local files

1. Give read access to your audio files to user 102 (mopidy), group 29 (audio), or all users (e.g., $ chgrp -R 29 $PWD/media && chmod -R g+r $PWD/media).

2. Index local files:

   $ docker run --rm -v $PWD/media:/var/lib/mopidy/media:ro -v $PWD/local:/var/lib/mopidy/local -p 6800:6800 wernight/mopidy local scan
   

3. Start the server:

   $ docker run -d -v $PWD/media:/var/lib/mopidy/media:ro -v $PWD/local:/var/lib/mopidy/local -p 6800:6800 wernight/mopidy
   

4. Browse to http://localhost:6800/

Example using ncmpcpp MPD console client

$ docker run --name mopidy -d wernight/mopidy
$ docker run --rm -it --link mopidy:mopidy wernight/ncmpcpp --host mopidy
