since we're making a radio, it's better to have something to stream the music to. For now, multiple solutions are possible.

The infrastructure should be composed of:

  • the Mastodon bot, following the #fm and parsing the various

  • some sort of frontend, with message passing to have some sort of dashboard of what will be sent or not

  • either a radio software or we need to develop some simple wrapper around Icecast to support all the needed features

  • Using Infomaniak radio service (paid and proprietary)

  • Using Azuracast (open source, no vendor lock in, looks clunky + seems annoying af to set up + no podman)

  • Using Icecast

Azuracast or Icecast seems to be the two valid answers, because it obviously enable more people to use the program.

I need to dig down the research and see what implementation would be the fastest!

After futher research, i might implement the radio using Liquidsoap + Icecast. Their book is really interesting and it's very hackable

Azuracast seems to be "too much" for what i wanna do!! And i'd rather look cool n nerdy and all :3
