Mine is running Hypriot OS (https://blog.hypriot.com): Everything on it is dockerized.
The coolest application: An Airconnect container (https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect) which upgrades my mediocre Internet radio device with AirPlay.
You can use mkchromecast for that: https://mkchromecast.com/#installation
Also you can go further with it and cast from airplay devices: https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect
I have airconnect on a raspberrypi so I don't have to keep my laptop on and I can play songs from my iphone that way, just stream to chromecast audio. It's also worth mentioning it works a bit better than mkchromecast but it depends on your wifi.
