Snapcast Server in a Container
In this blog, let's look at using snapcast server software in a container.
Snapcast is a synchronous multiroom client-server audio player. While Snapcast server has multiple configurable options for stream sources, this setup will use a named pipe as a source, from which Snapcast reads PCM chunks of audio data. Using named pipe as a source extends the ability to configure multiple audio sources - like Librespot (see Librespot Docker container) to send audio output.
