Snapclient in Docker. I run this on two Le Potatoes that I converted from Armbian to Dietpi with Apple type-C to headphone jacks (👌 mini-DACs). Runs on basically anything Linux (container is multi-arch) that can run Docker and has USB ports.

Dockerhub

Volume-less container, wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kerta1n/snapclient-docker/main/compose.yml and docker compose up -d

hostname: Container's hostname. I would advise setting this to the room that this will be controlling so that it's easy to identify using docker ps Keep it the same as the container name to avoid confusion in the actual Snapcast webUI.

mac-address: If you are running multiples of this container (which I would do if you can attach multiple soundcards), make this something different for each so that Snapserver recognizes the device after restarting if there is an update to Snapclient.

device /dev/snd: Just mounts your sound device so that it can see all of your soundcards. This shouldn't break anything mounting the same device across multiple container deployments.

-h : Set this to the host of your Snapserver. If your network supports mDNS, use that, but be careful. Test by running ping snapserver.domain on any Linux/MacOS/Windows device. If no packet loss, use the domain name.

-s: Run aplay -L on the host (don't use with aplay -l, snapclient identifies per -L) to find your soundcard. You can typically test this by plugging in each soundcard one at a time and looking at dmesg.

F**k passing ENV into ENTRYPOINT. If you're able to fix this, please open a PR
