narf/mpd repository overview

⁠narf-mpd

Docker image for running MPD⁠ on music mounted from a host directory.

⁠Assumptions

• You have music you'd like to serve with mpd available in a directory on your Docker host.

⁠Usage

MPD is configured to look in the /opt/music directory on the container for music to serve. You must mount your host directory on /opt/music

To do so, run like:

docker run -v /mnt/music:/opt/music -p 6600:6600 -p 8000:8000 -t narf/mpd

...where /mnt/music is wherever you have music available on your host.

Since we've forwarded ports above, you'll be able to connect to MPD's web interface on your host at port 8000, and connect to MPD on your host at port 6600.

MPD is configured to leave playlist, db, and state files in the .mpd directory on your host directory. In our example, it would leave files in /mnt/music/.mpd.
