mopidy-docker

Run Mopidy in Docker

Description

I wanted to be able to play from Tidal to my audio devices (typically Raspberry Pi SBCs), directly from a browser, without using Tidal Connect, not available on any device/platform.
Mopidy along with the Mopidy-Tidal plugin offer a very nice interface, and represent a good response to this requirement.
I have only used it with alsa output, but I will probably add support for PulseAudio soon. Note that this is not terribly important to me, at least when using Tidal, which my main scenario. Using this application with PulseAudio would not offer any particular advantage compared to the Tidal Web Player.

Support

Please see the Goal.
Please note that support goal is limited to cover running costs for subscriptions to music services.

In order to correctly set the credentials for Tidal, the first run should be done with this command:

docker-compose run mopidy

Look at the displayed instructions, follow the link and authorize the application on Tidal.
You will need an active Tidal subscription, of course.
After this action, you can stop the container (CTRL-C), and then start it normally using:

docker-compose up -d

The application should be accessible at the host-ip at port 6680.
