Running yellowShoes in Docker

If you're looking to run yellowShoes inside a docker container, let's start with a couple of assumptions:

• You're running 64bit Linux, so we will run yellowShoes-linux-amd64 inside the docker container.
• You are dockeruser who is a member of the docker group
• You have rtl_tcp running in your network, and won't be talking to the SDR Dongle on your usb bus. (See more about rtl_tcp)
• You want -enableAlbumArt enabled for album art rendering.

Here's a Dockerfile that we can use.

Building the Docker Image

You can build the above Dockerfile as:

docker build -f Dockerfile -t yellowshoes .

Running the Docker Image:

Once built, you can instantiate your yellowShoes docker image:

docker run  --log-driver none -v /tmp:/tmp -p 8113:8113 --rm yellowshoes

Orchestration

There are multitude of methods to achieve this. I added a line to my /etc/crontab to manage the orchestration:

*/4 * * * *       dockeruser    /SomeFolder/Docker-images/yellowShoes/yellowShoes.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Contents of yellowShoes.sh:

#!/bin/bash 

img="yellowshoes"
docker ps |grep -qi "$img" || {
	docker run -d --log-driver none -v /tmp:/tmp -p 8113:8113 --rm "$img" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null 
}
