Tizonia on Docker container

Containerized Tizonia cloud music player that uses the host's sound system.

Audio Output

Tizonia connects as a client directly to the hosts PulseAudio server and uses its configuration/devices to output the sound. This is achieved by mapping the UNIX socket used by PulseAudio in the host into the container and configuring its use.

Credits: Method borrowed from docker-pulseaudio-example.

Launch Command

Use the convenience script docker-tizonia:

#!/bin/bash

USER_ID=$(id -u);
GROUP_ID=$(id -g);

docker run -it --rm \
    -e PULSE_SERVER=unix:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native \
    --volume=${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse \
    --volume="${HOME}/.config/tizonia":/home/tizonia/.config/tizonia \
    --volume "${HOME}/.config/pulse/cookie":/home/tizonia/.config/pulse/cookie \
    --name tizonia \
    tizonia/docker-tizonia "$@";

The script bind mounts the host's '$HOME/.config/tizonia' to make 'tizonia.conf' available inside the container.

NOTE: The Tizonia process running inside the container needs 'rwx' permissions on this directory.

Once the script is in your path, and the permissions of '$HOME/.config/tizonia' have been changed, just use the usual Tizonia commands:

# Change Tizonia's config dir permissions
$ chmod a+wrx $HOME/.config/tizonia

# Install the wrapper script in a location in your PATH
$ sudo install docker-tizonia /usr/local/bin

# Pass the usual Tizonia commands to the wrapper
$ docker-tizonia --youtube-audio-mix-search "Queen Official"
