Shairport Sync as a Docker Image

Shairport Sync is an Apple AirPlay receiver. It can receive audio directly from iOS devices, iTunes, etc. Multiple instances of Shairport Sync will stay in sync with each other and other AirPlay devices when used with a compatible multi-room player, such as iTunes or forked-daapd.

This Docker image provides an easy way to deploy Shairport Sync. Based on Alpine Linux, the image is very small and it is built for multiple platforms, making it suitable for embedded devices such as Raspberry Pi. Support for the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) is included.

See available images on Docker Hub.

This is a fork of the project by Kevin Eye.
