An mpd docker container for streaming over http

Two outputs over http with a bitrate of 320 or 1411
Http stream will be on port 8000
You can connect on port 6600

Example

docker create \
--name mpd \
-p 6600:6600 \
-p 8000:8000 \
-v mpdplaylists:/var/lib/mpd/playlists \

--restart unless-stopped \
philipwold/mpd:latest

Example Setup.

• Setup this container on your NAS/File server.
• Setup MPD with regular audio output on your client device.
• Use a script like this to tune into the http stream on your client device

#!/bin/bash
#written by Philip Woldhek

serverip=<MY-SERVER-IP>

if [ "[playing]" = "$(mpc | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $1;}')" ]
 then
   mpc -h $serverip pause
   mpc stop
   mpc clear
 else
   mpc clear
   mpc add http://$serverip:8000
   mpc -h $serverip play
   mpc play
fi

• Edit the config of a mpd client like ncmpcpp to point it to your File server/NAS so you can remotely controll the stream.
• Profit?

Todo
