Hi Gio71,

Hope you are well.
Can I setup Upmpdcli Docker as a render on top of Volumio and point to MPD which preinstalled under Volumio?

the reason is that I would like to used some volumio plugin Peppymeter which run on MPD.conf under preinstalled Mpd in Volumio OS.

But upmpdcli seem not update for volumio.... to used your docker will be much easier to maintain. but as renderer I need MPD from volumio to playback.

Best Regards,

Hello.
Yes you should be able to do that. Of course it would be better if you disable the built-in upmpdcli.
You will need to:

1. enable ssh on volumio (see here)

2. Login to your volumio box

3. install docker and docker-compose (or docker-compose-plugin):

The following might work, but it might be slightly different depending on the version of the underlying o.s.:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io docker-compose
sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
newgrp docker

4. check if mpd is reachable using localhost at port 6600, using:

MPD_HOST=localhost MPD_PORT=6600 mpc status

If you don't get an error, then mpd is configured as expected.

5. create and enter a new directory, e.g.:

mkdir ~/upmpdcli
cd ~/upmpdcli

6. Create new file there named docker-compose.yaml using the following content:

---
volumes:
  upmpdcli-cache:
  upmpdcli-confdir:

services:
  upmpdcli:
    image: giof71/upmpdcli
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=${UPMPDCLI_PUID:-}
      - PGID=${UPMPDCLI_PGID:-}
      - MPD_HOST=${MPD_HOST:-127.0.0.1}
      - MPD_PORT=${MPD_PORT:-6600}
      - FRIENDLY_NAME=${FRIENDLY_NAME:-Volumio}
      - RENDERER_MODE=${RENDERER_MODE:-UPNPAV}
      - CHECK_CONTENT_FORMAT=${CHECK_CONTENT_FORMAT:-yes}
    volumes:
      - upmpdcli-confdir:/uprcl/confdir
      - upmpdcli-cache:/cache
    restart: ${RESTART_MODE:-unless-stopped}

You can tune RENDERER_MODE to UPNPAV, OPENHOME or BOTH (which I do not recommend). Also of course you can change the FRIENDLY_NAME to suit your needs.

7. Start the container using

cd ~/upmpdcli
docker-compose up -d

Please note that I didn't test this with the latest Volumio but I have done something similar in the past. If there are issues, I might easily try this tomorrow or in the weekend.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Gio THank for update.

After following your instruction. I got an error below.

Running -$ -> docker-compose up -d

ERROR: Invalid interpolation format for "upmpdcli" option in service "services": "PUID=${UPMPDCLI_PUID:-}"

can you advise?

[GioF71]

I just tried and it works... are you sure you did not add any characters?
Anyway let's try something simpler, defaults were fine for those PUID and PGID variables and many others:

---
volumes:
  upmpdcli-cache:
  upmpdcli-confdir:

services:
  upmpdcli:
    image: giof71/upmpdcli
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - MPD_HOST=127.0.0.1
      - MPD_PORT=6600
      - FRIENDLY_NAME=Volumio
      - RENDERER_MODE=UPNPAV
      - CHECK_CONTENT_FORMAT=yes
    volumes:
      - upmpdcli-confdir:/uprcl/confdir
      - upmpdcli-cache:/cache
    restart: unless-stopped

[GioF71]

Just created a gist. If the previous does not work, do this:

mkdir ~/upmpdcli -p
rm ~/upmpdcli/docker-compose.y*ml
cd ~/upmpdcli
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/GioF71/c57e4585b2ad7160c297d1ceae0a5861/raw/08dd81fb72c4d25853b3598ce71dc9555611a799/docker-compose.yaml -O docker-compose.yaml
docker-compose up -d

Let me know if this helps!

[bauhorm]

after replace docker-compose I got new error.

ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yaml' is invalid because:
Unsupported config option for services: 'upmpdcli'
Unsupported config option for volumes: 'upmpdcli-confdir'

VOLUMIO 3.8 running on Debian Buster. Is that relate to Docker version 18.09.1 which might give unsupport config or not?

I'm not sure... at this point, let me try with the actual volumio box. I will come back to you with some results.

[GioF71]

So if it's buster, maybe we need to specify version.
If you want to try:

---
version: "3"

volumes:
  upmpdcli-cache:
  upmpdcli-confdir:

services:
  upmpdcli:
    image: giof71/upmpdcli
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - MPD_HOST=127.0.0.1
      - MPD_PORT=6600
      - FRIENDLY_NAME=Volumio
      - RENDERER_MODE=UPNPAV
      - CHECK_CONTENT_FORMAT=yes
    volumes:
      - upmpdcli-confdir:/uprcl/confdir
      - upmpdcli-cache:/cache
    restart: unless-stopped

anyway is your Volumio up-to-date? are they still based on on debian buster?

[bauhorm]

Yes lastest volumio still based on debian Buster...
Yes it work now I indicate version "2".

Creating volume "upmpdcli_upmpdcli-cache" with default driver
Creating volume "upmpdcli_upmpdcli-confdir" with default driver
Creating upmpdcli_upmpdcli_1 ... done

but I can't see upnp renderer up running on my control point? or maybe it couldn't contact with MPD yet?
What is a command to get upmpdcli Log in docker run?

[GioF71]

Yes.... Try

docker-compose logs -f

[bauhorm]

I got this log. but without UPNP renderer active on my control point.

[GioF71]

Which control point are you using?

[bauhorm]

BubbleUPnp

[GioF71]

Can you post the full logs?

docker-compose logs

[bauhorm]

just like this.

Hi GioF71,

Thank for help. I think this would not work. Docker 1.8 which installed in Debian Buster.
Repo will not support Upmpdcli 1.9.5. I think hopeless to run new Upmpdcli version on Old OS with Old docker version.

THank a lot.

Best REgards,
