Dexed is a FM Synth Plugin (https://github.com/asb2m10/dexed) offering a standalone version you can download from their git releases. Executing their pre-compiled binary on my Linux machine I got the following error:
~/Downloads/dexed-0.9.4.lnx % ./Dexed
[1] 29833 illegal hardware instruction (core dumped) ./Dexed

This is a quick guide how to build it your self using docker.

tar -cvzpf backup.tar.gz --directory=/ --exclude=proc --exclude=sys --exclude=dev --exclude=run --exclude=tmp --exclude=boot .
We set the directory to create the archive from to / and include everything in the archive with the . at the end. Also exclude directories like /dev or /sys, which are machine or OS specific and don't contain any of our files.
In a previous article we used DBUS to send control commands to the spotify client.
To remotely control spotify via the web, i wrote a little HTTP server which takes GET requests and "forwards" them via DBUS to the player. The program is written in python (see below) and takes requests on the following paths:
Next step is an android app to call our little webservice :)
