AzuraCast is an open-source and self-hosted web radio management suite that helps you to get a web radio station up and running in minutes. It offers a powerful and intuitive web interface where you can manage every aspect of your radio station. You can upload media, manage playlists, create local mount points and remote relays, and view analytics and reports via a web browser. It also offers an API to build your own players and interfaces.
In this post, we will show you how to install AzuraCast radio management solutions on Fedora Linux.
Step 1 – Add Docker Repo
By default, the Docker package is not included in the Fedora default repo, so you will need to add the repo for Docker.
You can add the Docker repo using the following command.
dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
The above command will create a docker-ce.repo file in the Yum configuration directory.
Step 2 – Install Docker and Docker Compose
Once the Docker repo is added to the Yum repository, you can install both Docker and Docker compose packages with the following command.
dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin docker-compose -y
After installing both packages, start and enable the Docker service.
systemctl start docker systemctl enable docker
You can now verify the Docker version using the following command.
docker --version
Output:
Docker version 20.10.17, build 100c701
Step 3 – Install AzureCast
First, create a directory to store all configuration files.
mkdir -p /var/azuracast
Next, download the AzureCast installation script using the following command.
cd /var/azuracast curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast/main/docker.sh > docker.sh
Next, set the executable permissions on the downloaded script.
chmod a+x docker.sh
Next, start the AzureCast installation with the following command.
./docker.sh install
