A balena-deployable Docker application that turns a Raspberry Pi into an AirPlay mirroring server by wrapping RPiPlay in a minimal ~14 MB busybox-based image. It lets Apple devices mirror their screens and audio to TVs, monitors, and projectors connected to the Pi.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into an airplay receiver
- mirror my iphone screen to a tv
- cast mac screen to a projector with a pi
- set up airplay screen mirroring on raspberry pi
- deploy airplay server to multiple pis with balena
- wireless display from apple devices to a monitor
When to choose
- you have a Raspberry Pi and want a one-click AirPlay mirroring endpoint
- you want to deploy to one or many devices easily via balenaCloud or balenaHub
- you need a minimal, lightweight image with configurable name, audio output, rotation, and latency
When to avoid
- you need AirPlay on non-Raspberry-Pi hardware or non-balena deployment without extra work
- you need the gstreamer renderer or advanced RPiPlay features not included in this image
- you need guaranteed low-latency, perfectly synced playback on a Pi Zero
- you require an actively maintained project with a license and recent releases
