AzuraCast

AzuraCast is a solution for running internet radio stations, packaging the entire broadcast stack into a single Docker installation that gets you on air in minutes. Built on PHP with a Vue.js frontend, it uses Liquidsoap as the AutoDJ engine to compile media from playlists, live DJ inputs, and scheduled programming into composited output streams, then broadcasts via Icecast-KH, SHOUTcast 2 DNAS, or Rocket Streaming Audio Server to thousands of concurrent listeners. The media library supports drag-and-drop uploads with automatic metadata extraction, while playlist management handles sequential, random, weighted, and time-scheduled rotations. Live DJ accounts let remote broadcasters connect via BUTT, Mixxx, or any Icecast-compatible software, with automatic crossfade transitions between AutoDJ and live input. The built-in Web DJ tool enables broadcasting directly from the browser without additional software. Each station includes public-facing player pages with now-playing metadata, album art, song history, and embeddable widgets for external websites. The listener request system lets audiences queue songs through the public interface. Multi-station administration hosts unlimited stations on a single server with individual user accounts and granular role-based permissions. Comprehensive analytics track listener counts, geographic distribution, unique listeners, and listening duration with exportable reports. HLS streaming delivers adaptive bitrate broadcasts for mobile compatibility. LADSPA audio plugins enable professional equalization and processing in the stream pipeline. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
