Updated Raspberry install docs. #1243

Open Drexel2k opened 10 months ago

Drexel2k commented 10 months ago

Hello,

I really appreciate the work you put is in this project. I am currently building an Internetradio on Raspberry basis, for which I also wanted spotify integration. Therefore I need a little control over the Spotify service on the Raspberry itself, e.g. stopping the Spotify playback when I chose a radio station and the radio starts playing. I found spotifyd as a possible solution for this use case, but I had a hard time setting it up for my needs.

I want to share my experience and enriched the documentation with topics, where I had trouble. As I am not so deep in the techincal topics like Rust and Linux, I try at leas to contribute at the docs...

I still see 2 problems which I couldn't solve, but for which I have workarounds, but I will open issues for these.

Best regards Matthias

Thank you very much! The docs are very much in need of such contributions and I think, this can be very valuable to first time users as you say.

I added many small comments. You don't need to tackle them all at once. If you prefer, we can also fix the basic formatting things, merge and improve gradually from there.

I am glad you say this, I wasn't sure if this kind of detailed documentation was really wanted. :)

I would merge now, maybe you can do before what I proposed in the comments and then the work can continue from the merge. I was also thinking of adding instrcutions how to build from the latest release source and not from the latest commit, but I would do that afterwords. Thank you for your frinedly response!

Hello, I just saw that this is still open, do you need any action or information from me? Or was it just not on your schedule yet?

I'm sorry for not following up with anything. Initially I planned to have another look at your PR and then merge it, but as time passed I got more and more convinced that something had to be done to the entire docs. As this is a larger project, I only started working on it and never finished it since then. So I guess, the best way forward would be to just merge your changes and then we can someday resolve all the remaining issues with the docs.

The biggest thing that I noticed that should be done before we can merge is to change SUMMARY.md to include the new files and reflect the changes. This way, the generated docs follow your changes.

I see what you mean, also some conent seems a little bit redundant in the readme and other files... But I've also updated the SUMMARY.md file.

I cleand up my repositories and also deleted the spotifyd fork, I wasn't aware that I still had an open pull request. :D I restored the fork, it would be a pitty, if the content was lost.

Oh thank you! I was already wondering what happened. I hope to finally get around to doing documentation things in a few weeks, but maybe I can just see if merging this is possible since it would have been helpful in multiple occasions already.
