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
