This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install AzuraCast on Kali Linux latest.
Before installing AzuraCast, you need to ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
Before you begin installing AzuraCast, you have to install some dependencies required by the software. Run the following command to install dependencies:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python python-pip python-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libpq-dev git unzip curl ffmpeg
AzuraCast is designed to run in a Docker container. Therefore, you must install Docker on your system. Run the following command to install Docker:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sudo sh get-docker.sh
After installation, add your user to the docker group by running the following command:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to define and run multi-container Docker applications. This tool is required by AzuraCast to launch several microservices running concurrently. To install Docker Compose, use the following command:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Next, you need to clone the AzuraCast repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast.git
Once you have cloned the AzuraCast repository, you should configure your environment variables by running the command:
cp .env.example .env
Open the .env file using your preferred text editor and modify the following configuration options:
APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=somepassword
Finally, you can launch the AzuraCast application by running the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command may take several minutes to complete, depending on your internet speed and system resources.
After the successful launch of AzuraCast, you can access the application from your web browser by visiting this URL:
http://your_server_ip/
You will need to sign up as a new user, then create a radio station, and start broadcasting.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed AzuraCast on Kali Linux.
