A music player image for Raspberry Pi based on Alpine Linux, MPD and myMPD.

myMPDos

myMPDos is a Raspberry Pi image (aarch64) based on Alpine Linux. It is running entirely in RAM and it does not write to the sd-card unless you want to save settings. Therefore, myMPDos is very robust and you can simply turn off the power without any risk of corruption of your sd-card.

myMPDos is a turnkey music playback solution and is designed arround MPD and myMPD. After startup you can access the myMPD webinterface, copy music to the sd-card data partition, mount a music share or simply plugin an usb storage and you can start enjoying your music.

The initial configuration is done through a simple bootstrap file, that has sane default values preconfigured. Setting up myMPDos takes only a few minutes. Experts can use the advanced bootstrap file to customize the installation further.
