Ansible roles for my Raspberry Pi

I've set up my Raspberry Pi using Ansible. This repository contains some roles for others to re-use.

Some stuff in there may still be a work in progress so carefully read the sections in this README for the roles you wish to use.

Quickstart

Prerequisites:

• a Raspberry Pi 3 or similar
• a (preferably clean) install of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Raspbian)
• to be able to connect to it through SSH (connect a screen/keyboard and systemctl enable ssh)
  • you should set up public key authentication
• Wifi should be disabled on your Pi for optimal Bluetooth performance
• Ansible on your computer

Create a hosts.ini file with the local address of your Pi, like so:

[pi]
192.168.0.101

In play.yml, make sure only the roles you want to run are listed.

Warning: The following roles require extra steps so they are commented out:

• spotify-connect

You can now run ansible like so:

$ ansible-playbook play.yml

bluetooth-audio

Sets up your Pi as a Bluetooth speaker. It will be discoverable with the hostname of the device.

Uses the PulseAudio bluetooth module, glued together with udev and a script. The small A2DP agent service takes care of the pairing of bluetooth devices.

spotify-connect

To get this to work you need a librespot binary inside the bin/ folder in the root of this repository. It is not included, you will have to build it yourself.

• librespot github repo
• cross compilation instructions

At the time of writing the raspberry pi instructions did not work anymore but the normal armhf target should work fine.

For the lazy:

# In the librespot repo:
docker build -t librespot-cross -f contrib/Dockerfile .

docker run -v /tmp/librespot-build:/build librespot-cross cargo build --release --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --no-default-features --features alsa-backend

# In this repo
mkdir -p bin

cp /tmp/librespot-build/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/librespot bin/librespot
