does this require a raspberry pi, i'd prefer to only need my phone or my computer and my nest mini.

If you're going the Home Assistant route, you can install it on a variety of devices: see here

@highwingers' SmartAzan.com has a variety of devices you can use if you only want the adhan played (note: I haven't tried this method).

I have a linux computer, what is the route I should take for that? Also do I really need to create a virtual machine for home assistant?
