If anyone is interested in rolling your own pi based squeezelite player using Alpine Linux, I've worked on a couple of things that may be of some help. First is a wiki write up for installation of the OS image on the pi zero w:
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Zero_W_-_Installation It's not especially well written and it's based on notes I was taking for getting my temperature sensor project ported over to Alpine from PiCore so you probably want to skip some (all?) of the steps marked as being "optional". You might be asking why a guide would be needed - don't you just unpack the download to an SD card and boot? Yes, but there is a "setup-alpine" script that walks you through basic setup, incuding connecting to wifi, and the wifi bit didn't work for me, which is problematic on the pi zero w. Enabling the hardware random number generator with the rngd-tools packages (not part of the base OS file set) fixed that as well as any issues with wifi reconnecting at boot time. Also, I put together an aport to build squeezelite into three packages, squeezelite itself, an openrc init script package, and a doc package. I submitted it to the mailing list to be added to the repos but I haven't had any feedback on it: http://lists.alpinelinux.org/alpine-aports/6326.html In the meantime, if anyone would like the packages let me know, I have them built for both armhf and armv7. Earlier versions of the armhf version ran on the raspberry pi 3 B+ but the latest Alpine downloads (3.9.2 as of this post) appear to remove support for the pi 3 from the armhf version, so I needed both package sets, armhf for my zero w and armv7 for my pi 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sodface's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110015 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
