Note: we will be using the icecast-kh fork that contains some extra stuff (FIXME: unpack stuff).

Installation

Software

Note: At time of writing, icecast-kh suffers from a small compilation problem with OpenSSL.

  • Install dependencies (Debian)
apt install libxslt1-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libtheora-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
  • Get the sources
cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/karlheyes/icecast-kh
  • Compile and install
cd icecast-kh
./configure --with-openssl
make
make install

Firewall

  • Make sure you listen on 8000, adjust your iptables:
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT

You can adjust to your liking, 8000 is the default for Icecast.

Basic Configuration

Simple setup with icecast changing process ownership to nobody:nogroup and running in a chroot.

/usr/local/etc/icecast.xml:

Service file and autostart (systemd)

  • Create a systemd service file:
[Unit]
Description=Icecast
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/icecast -c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml
ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
  • Enable the service on boot:
systemctl enable icecast
  • Manage the service with
service icecast start
service icecast status
service icecast stop

Configuration
