daapd

linuxserver/daapd

Daapd (iTunes) media server with support for AirPlay devices, Apple Remote (and compatibles), Chromecast, MPD and internet radio.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/daapd:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture	Available	Tag
x86-64	✅	amd64-<version tag>
arm64	✅	arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf	✅	arm32v7-<version tag>

Application Setup

Map your music folder, open up itunes on the same LAN to see your music there.

The web interface is available at http://<your ip>:3689

For further setup options of remotes etc, check out the daapd website, Owntone.

Enable spotify connect server

Enable the spotify connect server by creating a pipe named 'spotify' in the root of your mounted music folder (not possible on most network mounts):

mkfifo <music_folder>/spotify

The spotify connect server should show up as the 'forked-daapd' device in your Spotify application.

It is recommended to set the pipe_autostart option to true in your forked-daapd config.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  daapd:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/daapd:latest
    container_name: daapd
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
    volumes:
      - /path/to/data:/config
      - /path/to/music:/music
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=daapd \
  --net=host \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -v /path/to/data:/config \
  -v /path/to/music:/music \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/daapd:latest

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports (-p)

Parameter	Function

Networking (--net)

Parameter	Function
--net=host	Shares host networking with container.

Environment Variables (-e)

Env	Function
PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Etc/UTC	specify a timezone to use, see this list.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume	Function
/config	Where daapd server stores its config and dbase files.
/music	Map to your music folder.

Miscellaneous Options

Parameter	Function

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running:
  • docker exec -it daapd /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
  • docker logs -f daapd
• Container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' daapd
• Image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/daapd:latest
