Streaming audio server

In this guide i will show how to install Logitech Media Server using Portainer and Docker.

Lyrion Music Server (formerly Logitech Media Server) is open-source server software which controls a wide range of Squeezebox audio players. Lyrion can stream your local music collection, internet radio stations, and content from many streaming services (with and without subscriptions).

As client, you can use any software above or you can use some hardware players.

Logitech's own Squeezebox hardware players existed in a variety of configurations, offering wired and wireless ethernet, analog and digital audio outputs, touchscreen interfaces and a variety of remote controlled options. Logitech discontinued their hardware players in 2012.

Lyrion Music Server also works with networked music players, such as the Roku SoundBridge M1001, although Logitech does not officially support these competing products. Chumby devices also support streaming music from a Lyrion Music Server, as does the Rio Receiver when running replacement software to emulate the SliMP3 device, although it is limited to modest bitrates
