The open audio server. sonn core is a complete multiroom audio solution: a self-hosted server that collects your music — local files, streaming services, radio, line-in — and plays it in sync on the speakers you already own, over almost any protocol they speak. Run it as a pure content server, or as a whole-home multiroom system with fixed zones. Fully Loxone compatible, Home Assistant friendly.
Status: 4.0 beta. In active use and actively developed. Releases are tagged from the
betabranch, and breaking changes can still land between betas — check the release notes before updating.

docker compose up -d
Then open http://<server-ip>:7090, create your admin account, and walk the three steps: Content
— add your music. Access — switch on how to reach it. Zones — only if you want rooms. The
first two steps are already a working audio server.
Details — docker run, bridge networking, running without Docker, ports, persistence — live in the install guide.
The documentation lives on the website — this readme deliberately does not duplicate it:
- What sonn is — the three sides: Content, Access, Zones
- Install and first setup
- Content — library, streaming services, radio, line-in
- Zones & outputs — Sendspin and the signal path, receivers, grouping, power management, Beoremote One
- Loxone — pairing a Miniserver with the built-in Audioserver implementation
- Access — DLNA, Subsonic, WebDAV, the web player
- Troubleshooting
The one exception is the API: INTEGRATING.md in this repository is the public API's single source of truth, kept next to the code it describes. The website renders it at /docs/reference/.
