Music Assistant

Music Assistant is a free, open source music library manager that connects your streaming services to a wide range of connected speakers. The server is its core and runs on an always-on device such as a Raspberry Pi, NAS, or Intel NUC.

It can run as a complete standalone product but is tailored to work side by side with Home Assistant, with automation in mind. The recommended setup is the Home Assistant add-on, and a Docker container is also available. These are the only two supported ways to run the server.

Built in Python, it depends on external components such as ffmpeg and custom binaries, so it is not distributed as a standalone PyPI package. It is a project of the Open Home Foundation, with documentation and support hosted on the project site.
