Audio device in docker

[lazkano]

Hello,

I want to use Mopidy as a docker container, but I can not get audio output from any mopidy container I found:

jjok/my-mopidy-setup

Docker Hub

Docker Hub

Docker Hub

This is my host audio device:

$ ls -lh /dev/snd/

In the host I have not ALSA or PulseAudio because I don’t need it.

How could I make a simple audio test with a container?

I will really appreciate your help.

Kind regards.

You need to make the container aware of your sound card (from this discussion for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41083436/how-to-play-sound-in-a-docker-container).
Basically you have to add --device /dev/snd to your docker run / compose parameters, where /dev/snd is your soundcard peripheral (I guess this part could change to /dev/snd1 or something, especially if you have multiple soundcards).

You might also find some resources here : https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker , but it seems they mainly plug the container to an existing alsa/pulseaudio.
