Contribution: Running librespot in a container (podman on Fedora 32)

[benblasco]

Hi all,

I thought I'd make a contribution here and share how I am running librespot in a container on my Fedora Linux 32 system, using podman (rather than Docker).

I have created my own very simple container image based on this Dockerfile:
https://github.com/eraser215/fedoralaptop/blob/master/files/containers/librespot/Dockerfile

I build it:
podman build --tag=librespot .

I then run the container using the following command:
podman run -dt --net host --device=/dev/snd localhost/librespot

--net host ensures it uses the container host's network interface so that it can be seen via mDNS over the networkl
--device=/dev/snd gives the container access to the host's sound device

This works well for me, so I thought I'd share it with anybody interested. Always happy to answer questions and try to help others.

Cheers!
