Or just copy the basic config example and start editing it. Then point your browser to the IP of you VPS plus the port, e.g. Install ShoutcastĪdditional info can be found at /wiki/SHOUTcast_Broadcaster. apt update & apt -y upgradeĬreate a user, such as “radio” and add to the sudo group for root privileges: adduser radioĮxit and log back in as your new user (or switch to the new user: su - radio). Once you have the IP for your VPS, you can create an A record in your domain’s DNS to point to the VPS. I’m using a 4-core VPS at Scaleway (DEV-L), so each station is using 1 core for its Liquidsoap instance, and the CPU load on each core is around 50%.) System PrepĬhoose a VPS provider and spin up a new VPS running Debian (or Ubuntu). (There may be some ways around this limitation, but I am currently doing fine running 3 different stations, each at 2 different bit rates. Also, if you plan to broadcast the same stream using multiple bitrates or codecs, you’ll need a decent CPU because Liquidsoap only uses one CPU core per instance.

You’ll most likely need a VPS with unlimited bandwidth.

It is definitely possible, but I won’t cover it here. There’s no GUI and my stations only shuffle music, I don’t do live sets.

This is a guide for setting up basic radio stations (with SSL and port 80) using Shoutcast and Liquidsoap.
