This evening, I’m contacted by one of my friend via YahooMessenger because I put a status about searching an Indonesia VPS provider, and from the conversation he teach me to install Icecast in a vps.
The tutorial is based from here, and since this is the first time I’m configuring Icecast, I thought it’s a good way to wrote the tutorial. And this is performed in a VPS from ServerHub with the following :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
Promo Servers - LEB-1R Linux 1 1 CPU Core 1024MB RAM 512MB Burst 65GB Diskspace 1000GB Bandwidth 100Mbit Port Speed 1 IPv4 Address 8 IPv6 Addresses OpenVZ/SolusVM $3.99/Month Location : Phoenix Operating System : Debian 6 32bit |
Initial setup for preparing the required package for my Debian 6 VPS :
|
1 |
# apt-get install gcc make zip openvpn build-essential pkg-config libxml2-dev icecast2 ezstream |
Configuring Icecast2
Icecast2 configuration is located at /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml, and we need to configure the password in that file
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<authentication> <!-- Sources log in with username 'source' --> <source-password>your_passworda</source-password> <!-- Relays log in username 'relay' --> <relay-password>your_password</relay-password> <!-- Admin logs in with the username given below --> <admin-user>admin</admin-user> <admin-password>password_for_admin</admin-password> </authentication> |
Starting Icecast2 after reboot
To make Icecast2 started automatically after reboot, we need to change the Icecast startup file /etc/default/icecast2
|
1 2 3 |
# Edit /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml and change at least the passwords. # Change this to true when done to enable the init.d script ENABLE=true |
Test run the Icecast2
We need to make sure that Icecast can run, to start it, use the following command :
|
1 2 3 |
# service icecast2 restart or # /etc/init.d/icecast2 restart |
By default, Icecast will run at port 8000, so try to visit your IP:8000 , http://ip.address.of.vps:8000
Creating Playlist and configuring ezstream
We will use an addon named ezstream, and this is the tutorial for installing ezstream :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 |
Install libogg : # wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.3.1.tar.gz # tar xf libogg-1.3.1.tar.gz # cd libogg* # ./configure # make && make install Install libvorbis : # wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.3.tar.gz # tar xf libvorbis-1.3.3.tar.gz # cd libvorbis* # ./configure # make && make install Install libshout : # wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/libshout/libshout-2.3.1.tar.gz # tar xf libshout-2.3.1.tar.gz # cd libshout* # ./configure # make && make install Install ezstream : # wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ezstream/ezstream-0.5.6.tar.gz # tar xf ezstream-0.5.6.tar.gz # cd ezstream* # ./configure # make && make install |
Saving mp3 files. we can use any folder, but for this tutorial I use /home/mp3
|
1 2 3 |
# cd /home # mkdir mp3 # cd /home/mp3 |
Creating playlists :
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
# nano /home/mp3/playlist.txt /home/mp3/song1.mp3 /home/mp3/song2.mp3 /home/mp3/song3.mp3 /home/mp3/song4.mp3 |
Configuring ezstream
By default, we already have ezstream configuration examples located at /usr/share/doc/ezstream/examples, so we can copy and configure it :
|
1 |
# cp /usr/share/doc/ezstream/examples/ezstream_mp3.xml /root/ezstream_mp3.xml |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 |
# nano /root/ezstream_mp3.xml <!-- EXAMPLE: MP3 playlist stream WITHOUT reencoding This example streams a playlist that contains only MP3 files. No other file formats may be listed. Since ezstream will not be doing any reencoding, the resulting stream format (bitrate, samplerate, channels) will be of the respective input files. --> <ezstream> <url>http://ip.address.of.vps:8000/stream</url> <!-- If a different user name than "source" should be used, set it in <sourceuser/>: --> <!-- <sourceuser>mr_stream</sourceuser> --> <sourcepassword>your_password</sourcepassword> <format>MP3</format> <filename>/home/mp3/playlist.txt</filename> <!-- Once done streaming playlist.m3u, exit: --> <stream_once>0</stream_once> <!-- The following settings are used to describe your stream to the server. It's up to you to make sure that the bitrate/samplerate/channels information matches up with your input stream files. Note that <svrinfoquality /> only applies to Ogg Vorbis streams. --> <svrinfoname>Server Name</svrinfoname> <svrinfourl>http://www.yoururl.com</svrinfourl> <svrinfogenre>RockNRoll</svrinfogenre> <svrinfodescription>As you wish</svrinfodescription> <svrinfobitrate>64</svrinfobitrate> <svrinfochannels>5</svrinfochannels> <svrinfosamplerate>44100</svrinfosamplerate> <!-- Prohibit the server to advertise the stream on a public YP directory: --> <svrinfopublic>0</svrinfopublic> </ezstream> |
Set the permisson of ezstream_mp3.xml to 0644 or 0755
|
1 2 3 |
# chmod 0644 ezstream_mp3.xml or # chmod 0755 ezstream_mp3.xml |
Starting ezstream
We need to keep ezstream running while we’re streaming the mp3, so we need to run it in background by using “screen”.
|
1 2 |
# screen -S "stream" # ezstream -c /root/ezstream_mp3.xml |
Now we have our Icecast ready, to get the playlist, try to visit http://:ip.address.of.vps:8000/stream.m3u or http://ip.address.of.vps:80000/stream.xspf
saya boomark dulu mas. selama ini masih setia soalnya sama shoutcast + AutoDJ
Wah.. ternyata berkunjung kesini juga 😀
Silakan mas 🙂
Untuk menambahkan playlist lagu, bagaimana caranya mas ?
Tinggal diedit file yang ini mas /home/mp3/playlist.txt
Kalau filenya sama dengan file di komputer, tinggal pakai Winamp lalu buat playlistnya kemudian upload. Atau secara manual diketik di file tadi 🙂
Itu editnya bisa juga via sftp kan mas ?
Oiya yang dimaksud ini
/home/mp3/song1.mp3
/home/mp3/song2.mp3
/home/mp3/song3.mp3
/home/mp3/song4.mp3
Song1.mp3 song1 itu maksudnya nama dari file/lagunya kan mas ?
Kalau filenya saya ambil dr komputer, lalu saya membuat playlist melalui winamp, lalu saya upload melalui sftp yang ada dibitvise. Apakah kalo saya matikan komputer saya, playlist lagunya bisa tetap jalan mas ? Kan yang saya upload cuma playlistnya aja, bukan file mp3 nya langsung ?
Maaf kalo pertanyaan saya kurang berbobot mas, baru pertama kali nyoba soalnya. 🙂
Saya udh berhasil masuk kesini gan http://ip.address.of.vps:8000
Yang ingin saya tanyakan, gimana cara buat file playlist diweb tersebut agar bisa didownload+didengarkan pendengar lain ?
Kalo di shoutcast kan di halamannya udh ada http://ip.address.of.vps:8000/listen.pls nya tinggal didownload udh jadi mas ?
Mantap…
Kalau yang ini, filenya ada di http://ip.address.of.vps:80000 di sebelah kanan ada link listen.mp3u atau apa itu ya?
Tinggal didownload/dibuka pakai winamp atau player untuk music, nanti otomatis akan play sendiri 🙂
Iya mas, memang begitu cara paling mudah untuk membuat playlistnya. 🙂
Maaf mas baru balas, untuk metode autodj yang ada dalam artikel diatas “ezstream” apakah bisa juga dipakai untuk shoutcast?
