A couple of months ago Spotify released Soloist, an official way of running it headless on a Pi. I found it was a bit of nightmare to set up Pipewire, etc. and wanted to add a few features on top. So here's my new project: Encore. It takes Soloist and wraps it in a docker container. pimusic.stream

It features local audio playback, can push to a snapcast server, have a snapcast server pull from it or just run its own snapcast server. It also uses lrclib.net to display synchronised lyrics. For advanced use, it can call webhooks and send websocket updates.

I originally built it to integrate nicely with my Music Party application for LAN party collaborative jukeboxes; so it can also outbound connect to a Websocket server and push the Spotify updates over it. Finally, as Music Party uses Laravel, it will let you wrap the websocket messages for reverb.
