Re:Bose SoundTouch Cloud Replacement on Sunday May 03, 2026 @04:13PM (#48000917)
Previously only a cli, now a complete cloud replacement to let your speakers keep alive. Setup is simple via plain binaries or containers, a web ui as client app replacement is on the roadmap. You can migrate your speakers from a Bose account or start with a newly created local account.

Documentation lives at https://gesellix.github.io/Bose-SoundTouch/

Feedback is much appreciated as https://github.com/gesellix/Bose-SoundTouch/issues, contributions are welcome, too!

With Bose sunsetting their Soundtouch services and making their Web API documentation available, there wasn't any chance I wouldn't implement a client. 90% vibe coded, but I still learned about device discovery via mDNS and SSDP. I'm going to add more UI layers (GUI, TUI), and certainly some kind of Web implementation. WASM is also something I would like to try. Feel free to see this one as an open playground, contributors welcome!
