TidalBox

Tidal Cycles, SuperCollider, and Flok inside a container

Heavily inspired by https://github.com/virtuaCode/docker-tidal.

Prerequisities:

• Podman or Docker
• PipeWire

Build the image using Podman (you can also use Docker with the same parameters):

podman build -t tidalbox .

Then you can start Flok with Tidal Cyles (and SuperCollider) session named test using the following command:

podman run --replace -it \
  -v /run/user/1000/pipewire-0:/tmp/pipewire-0 -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \
  --device /dev/snd/seq \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  --name tidalbox tidalbox test

Finally, you can start jamming at the following address: http://localhost:3000/s/alkorejf

It is also possible to mount additional samples or connect external OSC visualizer. For additional examples, check the provided justfile.
