AzuraCast

AzuraCast is a self-hosted, all-in-one web radio management suite. It provides a centralized web interface for starting and managing web radio stations of various types and sizes. The software is designed to run on Linux servers, including affordable virtual private servers, making it accessible for small operations and larger broadcasts alike.

Users install the software using the Linux shell terminal. Once the installation process is complete, every aspect of the radio station is managed entirely through a browser-based control panel. This setup allows for the deployment of a functional web radio station within a short timeframe without requiring constant manual configuration of the underlying server components.

The application is built on a foundation of open-source tools and is licensed under the Affero GNU General Public License version 3.0. It is intended for station owners, broadcasters, and developers who require a centralized system to handle audio streaming and station administration. To maintain code quality and trust, the project follows a strict policy of human-only coding, meaning no AI assistants are used to write the software or contribute pull requests.

Because it integrates multiple streaming technologies into a single interface, the software removes the need to manage separate installations of streaming servers and automation tools. It provides a unified environment where users can handle the technical requirements of a webcast from a single dashboard.

AzuraCast serves as a comprehensive management layer for audio streaming servers.
