This container runs a headless Spotify player that can be remote-controlled by any Spotify app. Audio is output via alsa to host.
This requires a Spotify premium account, but does not require a Spotify developer key or libspotify binary.
Setup your Spotify device id and password: https://www.spotify.com/de/account/set-device-password/
Run with docker
docker run -d -e SPOTIFY_NAME=MySpotify -e SPOTIFY_USER=<deviceId> -e SPOTIFY_PASSWORD=<password> -e SPOTIFY_DEVICE=hw:0,0 -e SPOTIFY_BITRATE=320 --name Spotify -m 256M --cpus=".1" --device /dev/snd --restart unless-stopped murphy85/librespot-alsa
The above command will create a receiver named Librespot, with bitrate set to 320kbps, initial volume at 75%, with volume normalisation enabled, and the device displayed in the app as an Audio/Video Receiver. A folder named /tmp will be created/used in the current directory, and be used to cache audio data and credentials.
