Personal radio station

  I use navidrome. You could set it up with individual accounts and use any Subsonic compatible player. I’m not sure what you mean by specific time periods, so I’m not sure about that.

  It has a very serviceable web app, and lots of front end clients. I like Tempus on Android, and Strawberry on PC.

  I’ve found that navidrome is just more stable and usable than other server apps. Yes, you could do it through Home Assistant or Jellyfin or NextCloud, but those apps are not purpose-built for music. Just my 2 cents.

    Love a two cents and thanks. Will have a look and cheers for the multiple links, very helpful.

  Sounds like something shotcast can do.

  Remember the time before apple acted as if they invented audio streaming and built a walled garden of podcasts? We had shotcasts long before podcasts.

    Yeah when people say they can’t get a podcast because its not on the apple served list. umm RSS exists and did before apple brainwashed people.

  I used to just run icecast and mpd. Not sure how you could password protect that, though.

    Maybe run it behind a reverse proxy and use that for auth.

  Try subwave. You can have AI djs choose music from your navidrone library based on shows you create by defining prompts, moods and styles.

  Pretty neat…

  Fast developing and pretty solid already.

    I set this up before but ended up walking away. It works well but it always eats CPU generating the stream, which is a bummer if I’m the only user and not necessarily even going to use it once a day.

  where I can listen to my music while on the move and at work.

  You copy the files on your mp3 player and hit shuffle. Vlc has this feature for android.

  The reason radio exists is so you can hear curated music without buying it first. With a self hosted solution you get none of the pros with all of the responsibilities you get.

    Valid answer and I can see where you are coming from however this does not cover item two in my list (other family members)

  Navidrome, roon, or jellyfin maybe?

  Azuracast on its head is over kill but will work and give you a nice webgui. If you run behind a vpn like Tailscale, nebula,etc just add the other person to it and no password is needed because your stream and service isn’t publicly available. Get your radio stream url and put it in VLC on mobile or use the web.

    Thankyou. Will have a look and a play. Overkill isn’t a bad thing for future proofing.

      Just a heads up, their example Docker compose comes with a support for 50 radio stations (with 50+ ports mapped), and it isn’t meant to sit behind a reverse proxy. Below is a simplified Docker compose that I made to run a single radio station.

      services:
        azuracast:
          image: ghcr.io/azuracast/azuracast:latest
          container_name: azuracast
          restart: unless-stopped
          environment:
            AZURACAST_VERSION: latest
            AZURACAST_HTTP_PORT: "80"
            AZURACAST_SFTP_PORT: "2022"
            AZURACAST_STATION_PORTS: "8000,8005,8006"
            AUTO_ASSIGN_PORT_MIN: "8000"
            AUTO_ASSIGN_PORT_MAX: "8006"
            MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1
          ports:
            - "4580:80"
            - "4522:2022"
          volumes:
            - /dir-for-db:/var/lib/mysql
            - /dir-for-stations:/var/azuracast/stations
            - /dir-for-storage:/var/azuracast/storage
            - /dir-for-music:/var/azuracast/music
          ulimits:
            nofile:
              soft: 65536
              hard: 65536
          logging:
            driver: json-file
            options:
              max-size: 1m
              max-file: "5"
      

      My nginx routes traffic to port 4580 using the subdomain I assigned for my station, and LetsEncrypt handles SSL. I use SWAG to manage all of that.

      I can’t remember why, but AZURACAST_STATION_PORTS: “8000,8005,8006” is in fact required for a single station. The Azuracast admin portal has an option to consolidate the public player and admin portal behind a single domain, so radio.example.com hits the public player and radio.example.com/login hits the admin login.

      It’s nowhere near the level of pain you have to go through to run Matrix with chat bridges on Docker, but getting all of that right and simplified was more work than I wanted it to be. Hope this helps!
