Icecast: Open Source multimedia streaming

That was really cool to read and I appreciate the links. Can you talk more about your setup on DO? Why are both icecast and shoutcast servers needed? And did you transfer all of your music to DO? Thanks!

I run shoutcast on :8000 and icecast on :9090 (iirc). Running both b/c I was just experimenting - both are not needed.

Uploaded all of my tracks and stored them on DO.

Ran a script to create a text playlist file.

Configured icecast to be "fed" by ices (https://icecast.org/ices/docs/ices-2.0.2/basic.html)

Pointed ices to that file and have it feeding icecast.

Created a startup bash script to fire up all both servers on restarts so "it just works".

Maybe I should create a tutorial?

Thanks, that made intuitive sense to me. A tutorial is always appreciated though. :-)

Instead of reinventing the wheel - here is a tutorial I found helpful: https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices...
