Stream your Spotify collection
A docker image that creates a new device on Spotify (called "Daemon"), which streams what you're listening to Icecast.
It uses the excellent spotifyd.
docker run --name spotify -p 20300:20300 -e "SPOTIFY_USERNAME=$USERNAME" -e "SPOTIFY_PASSWORD=$PASS" borges/spotify-radio
Then connect to the stream via http://my.ip.address:20300/spotify.
Spotify has an electron app that consumes gigabytes of RAM. I miss the time I used around 100MB to do the same.
So I've been looking for alternatives. Spotifyd came to the rescue but every time my computer went to sleep I had to restart it and reconnect to my Daemon device on Spotify. So I've come up with the idea of dockerize it and let it live on my server, and I chose Icecast to stream it to my machine.
spotifyd binary was compiled via cargo build --release --features pulseaudio_backend and was included here to accelerate building time. You should compile it by yourself.
