An Ansible role that installs shairport-sync on Ubuntu/Debian.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
You have the choice to either customize the whole config as a string containing your shairport-sync configuration:
shairportsync_config: ''
... or you can just use some variables from the configuration:
log_verbosity: 0
speakername: "{{ inventory_hostname }} AirSound"
output_backend: alsa
ignore_volume_control: "yes"
alac_decoder: apple
alsa_device: sysdefault
If using sysdefault als ALSA device there might be no output from shairport-sync if at the same time another app is using playback. But as soon as the other app stops, playback from shairport-sync should sound.
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- role: shairport-sync
shairportsync_config: |
general = {
name = "Maestro";
volume_range_db = 30;
};
