Usage

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8000:8000 -v /path/to/music:/var/lib/mpd/music --name mpd a0js/rpi-mpd-ympd

You can specify an encoder to use with the environment variable ENCODER

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8000:8000 -e "ENCODER=flac" -v /path/to/music:/var/lib/mpd/music --name mpd a0js/rpi-mpd-ympd

Defaults to lame (mp3). See all options in MPD Docs

Point your browser to http://hostmachine:8080

Open http://hostmachine:8000 in VLC or other client.

USB drives formatted for windows (NTFS) requires ntfs-3g package to mount correctly on the rpi host machine.

Using flac encoder will reduce cpu usage significantly however it will also increase network traffic.

On Raspberry Pi B+

If listening outside your home network, your ISP upload speed might not be enough to run FLAC.

Also few clients can play FLAC streams, VLC will work though.
