Super chill! It’s been nice to get back to coding something for myself & friends. Reminding myself how to host a small radio station with icecast and how to automate it was fun as well!

This is pretty sick! Curious to know how you built it

I put together a quick blog post explaining the basic setup for it: https://rokita.me/blog/creating-a-radio-station

this is rad. just curious, how does Radio work? I would love to be able to run something like this on my local network and have it pull from my plex server or something

Thanks! The high-level overview of it is, a NextJS React frontend running with Express as a backend api, it's then put together via a Caddy proxy which authenticates all the requests against the API. The desktop apps are just basic Electron apps with a webview and heavy caching.

Thanks! The radio flow is [Mopidy => LiquidSoap Script => Icecast], the radio page let's friends queue up songs, once the queue ends it falls back onto a loop of a gta 5 radio station I'll write a quick blog post today with all the scripts and configs.

I wanted to be able to open it anywhere so it’s a nextjs web app, with electron desktop apps for mac & windows with a simple webview and some extras for the radio player & notifications
