Looking for a self-hosted home audio system, something like Sonos where you can play music in different zones/rooms and control it from a phone or tablet. Not sure on speakers, maybe something running off of raspberry pi’s or just standalone speakers if that would work. Anyone doing something like this?
Roon is self-hosted but not open spurce. Incredible at playing music, beautiful UI etc. Not free but best in class imo. https://roon.app/en/
Maybe Volumio can work? It’s some time since I last tried it.
Logitech media server, every day of the week. Despite its name, it is open source and in the hands of the community. Then, with cdrummond’s Material Skin and LMS Android Wrapper, it’s next level good. I can’t ever imagine going back
Edit: if hosting the server on a RPI, check out piCorePlayer. It can host your server and also serve as a player simultaneously
I’m using a Raspberry pi, my desktop computer, my phone, some Logitech Squeezebox devices, and Google Home Minis all through my house
What is the name of the client software on the pi? How did you connect your pi to an amplifier?
In the past I’ve used Volumio, but they’ve made multiroom a paid feature now.
One way around it would be to run a chromecast or airplay client, as they both have inherent multizone support, just not as polished as a sonos-style setup with groupings and stereo mapping when using DIY hardware.
