I would like to get Spotify working on Debian and Ubuntu servers and stream via http. What I found out so far is that I can do the whole thing best with pulseaudio. However, there are only problems with both spotify and pulseaudio. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a screen for these servers either, only the console and I don’t want to simulate a screen or anything.
For example, if I want to start Spotify with the command spotify, I get the following error message:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(spotify:691): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Or when I start pulseaudio with the command pulseaudio, I get this error message among others:
W: [pulseaudio] server-lookup.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Unable to contact D-Bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
Does anyone know what this is and can help me?
Or is there a better way than pulseaudio?
The important thing is that it must end up being an http stream. I found e.g. for pulseaudio the following script, which should do this: https://gist.github.com/djmaze/5234008.
Can someone give me a detailed explanation how to implement the http stream? I am not completely new to Linux servers, but I am far from being an expert. So it would be great if you could explain this for stupid people.
My goal is to implement the whole thing not only for me, but also for users of my final product. So the whole thing must run without much effort on all Debian and Ubuntu systems.

Can someone even give me an exact explanation how I can do that with the http stream? I’m not completely new to Linux servers, but I’m still far from an expert.
