I'm having some difficulty setting up a systemd service that needs access to a "user session" (probably not the correct term). I want to configure shairport as a systemd service. Shairport is an open source implementation of Apple's AirPlay and is used to play audio from an iOS device on a Linux computer. As such, it needs access to PulseAudio. This is where I'm having trouble.
I have a basic shairport.service file setup, and it correctly starts, but it does not seem to connect to PulseAudio because there is no audio output, even though the iOS device shows that audio is being transmitted. [Unit] Description=Shairport AirTunes receiver After=sound.target Requires=avahi-daemon.service After=avahi-daemon.service [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/shairport -v Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I need some help addressing two points. 1) What do I need to change to allow this service to connect to PulseAudio in my desktop session? 2) Following on #1, how can I start this application only once a user logs in (i.e. PulseAudio can play audio)?
