How to Install AzuraCast on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing AzuraCast on Fedora Server Latest. AzuraCast is a free and open-source self-hosted web radio management software with various features, including a user-friendly web interface, advanced scheduling system, and more.

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation of AzuraCast on Fedora Server Latest, make sure you have:

• A user account with sudo privileges
• Access to the command line of your Fedora Server Latest instance
• A running web server with Nginx or Apache, and PHP installed.

Step 1: Update your system

Update your Fedora Server Latest system to the latest available packages:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install AzuraCast

There are various methods to install AzuraCast. In this tutorial, we will install it using the Docker Compose method.

Install Docker

First, install Docker on your Fedora Server Latest instance.

sudo dnf install docker

After the installation is complete, start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot:

systemctl start docker
systemctl enable docker

Install Docker Compose

Next, we will install Docker Compose, which is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.

Run the following command to download the latest version of Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep 'tag_name' | cut -d'"' -f4)/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Make the downloaded binary file executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Verify that Docker Compose is installed correctly:

docker-compose --version

Install AzuraCast

Create a new directory for AzuraCast and navigate into it:

mkdir azuracast && cd azuracast

Create a Docker Compose file called docker-compose.yml with the following contents:

version: "3"
services:
  nginx:
    image: azuracast/nginx:latest
    depends_on:
     - stations
    volumes:

    environment:
     - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=yoursecurepassword
     - MYSQL_DATABASE=azuracast
     - MYSQL_USER=azuracast
     - MYSQL_PASSWORD=yoursecurepassword

     - PGID=1000
     - TZ=UTC
    ports:
     - "8000:8000"

  redis:
    image: redis:alpine

Make sure to set your desired administrator password in the AZURACAST_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable.

Run the following command to start your AzuraCast installation:

sudo docker-compose up -d

Wait for the containers to be downloaded and started.

Step 3: Access AzuraCast

Once the installation is complete, open your web browser and navigate to http://yourserverhostnameorip. You should see the AzuraCast login screen.

Log in with the default administrator username azuracast@azuracast.com and your set administrator password.
