a proof of concept for self hosting streaming radio.
before anything else, you'll need FFMPEG locally. if you don't already, run brew install ffmpeg to install it locally.
you may run into a somewhat-common issue of the install failing when building symlinks, which is fixed in this GitHub thread.
in the client, server, admin, and stream directories, you'll find .env.example files. create a new .env file for each directory and copy the content of the .env.example.
to populate your radio stream, mkdir stream/assets/audio and fill the directory with mp3 files of your choosing.
the portion of the app runs the RTMP server, chat websockets, and API services for osr. it's currently configured to run on a sqlite database.
cd server
npm install
./node_modules/.bin/knex migrate:latest
node index.js
this is the ffmpeg process, it connects to the sqlite db to configure it's currently playing song and then broadcasts it's stream to the RMTP server. it can be started and stopped using the admin app.
the front end of osr. preview available here
cd client
npm install
npm start
The admin front end of osr. It can be accessed at /admin. This app provides a web interface for managing the stream. It allows you to:
- create schedules
- start/stop the stream
- upload and delete songs
- manage uploaded mp3s metadata
