chmod +x sonos

Usage:

usage: sonos.py [-h] [-d DEVICE] [-v VOLUME]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DEVICE, --device DEVICE
                        preferred Sonos device to play stream on
  -v VOLUME, --volume VOLUME

Type Ctrl-C to stop streaming to sonos.

Docker

Build the image

docker build . -t sonos-stream:latest

Usage

Docker run

Multiple Sonos units

Currently this will only target a single Sonos device. If you have more than one, you can specify a preferred device and it will attempt to control that one. You can specify the IP address of the preferred device on the command line using -d <IP> or by setting the environment variable, SONOS_DEVICE_IP=<IP> within Docker.
