I've set up my Raspberry Pi using Ansible. This repository contains some roles for others to re-use.
Some stuff in there may still be a work in progress so carefully read the sections in this README for the roles you wish to use.
Prerequisites:
- a Raspberry Pi 3 or similar
- a (preferably clean) install of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Raspbian)
- to be able to connect to it through SSH (connect a screen/keyboard and
systemctl enable ssh)- you should set up public key authentication
- Wifi should be disabled on your Pi for optimal Bluetooth performance
- Ansible on your computer
Create a hosts.ini file with the local address of your Pi, like so:
[pi]
192.168.0.101
In play.yml, make sure only the roles you want to run are listed.
Warning: The following roles require extra steps so they are commented out:
- spotify-connect
You can now run ansible like so:
$ ansible-playbook play.yml
Sets up your Pi as a Bluetooth speaker. It will be discoverable with the hostname of the device.
Uses the PulseAudio bluetooth module, glued together with udev and a script. The small A2DP agent service takes care of the pairing of bluetooth devices.
To get this to work you need a librespot binary inside the bin/ folder in the root of this repository. It is not included, you will have to build it yourself.
At the time of writing the raspberry pi instructions did not work anymore but the normal armhf target should work fine.
For the lazy:
# In the librespot repo:
docker build -t librespot-cross -f contrib/Dockerfile .
docker run -v /tmp/librespot-build:/build librespot-cross cargo build --release --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --no-default-features --features alsa-backend
# In this repo
mkdir -p bin
cp /tmp/librespot-build/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/librespot bin/librespot
