Docker for Mac Audio about docker-mycroft HOT 8 CLOSED

Yea I'm working on it, I'll document it

from docker-mycroft.

I'm still working on getting the base image finished up using the apt repo's, etc. Still working with the team to work through those issues. Once the image is production ready and stable I will then turn efforts into this.

Thanks

The short answer is that this is a shortcoming of docker on OSX and BSD in general. Docker relies on a hard coded /dev/audio to do sound output. That said. It works fine with the Android app.

That said I am trying to do a native install using Homebrew:
Tap: brew tap benjaminhccarr/tap
Formula: https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/homebrew-tap/blob/master/Formula/mycroft-core.rb

I started with the RPi code: https://github.com/MycroftAI/enclosure-picroft

So you can see I am a bit behind... the idea was to get known working going first, but as we are now 9 revisions behind -core I may start unpinning things!

The original (failing) RPi build is at: https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/homebrew-tap/blob/master/Formula/mycroft-core.rb-Pinned where all the repos/deps were pinned... this broke badly. I was trying to bump as few as possible from a known good config.

The script at: https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/homebrew-tap/blob/master/requirements_to_resources.sh allows you to change resources.txt into Homebrew requirements. This was tedious; this generates 98% of the deps with sha's but occasionally fails on weird compression schemes.

There was talk of a pure python install, but that gets ugly too; people talked about cassandra and anaconda.

At the moment I think the best native solution is homebrew. Plus 78.62% of the work is in the repo, I just need time/testers to sort things.

I don't think it's currently possible to forward the sound device from the Linux docker image to the macOS host, but it's possible to install PulseAudio (using Homebrew) and forwarding that over the network - see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40136606/how-to-expose-audio-from-docker-container-to-a-mac

Thanks I'll take a look

Would be great to have instructions on how to run this on Mac if anyone figures it out!

from docker-mycroft.

@btotharye have you figured out how to get it working on a mac?

going to close out this issue for now since I don't think it is anything we can really do atm here.
