Any Progress on this? It would be a great addition to our toolkit!

@stevespaw azuracast needed port range support which we have now added in 7.7. Cloudron 7.7 is still rolling out, should be done by this week. Once done, we will try to package it.

@girish this is some great news! I have now used this for a year on a ARM based server and just transferred some of my stations on a x64 server. And here is my final opinion:

AC has everything a station or network needs to host and broadcast programs and songs. The auto DJ is brilliant and the automation and scheduling services are BETTER than CentovaCast and windows radio players!

Here is my positives:
ShoutCast (only on x64 CPUs, ARM not supported, plugin and a basic (free) account is required)

Liquidsoap, which is basically in all open source apps.

GeoIP capable, needs license from MindMax (Free)

Negatives
Some plugins like StereoMax need a paid license to use it.
Rolling release means regular updates and rebooting, especially if using Ubuntu Pro kernels.

I am very happy that this will be on cloudron, and now I can prepare a deletion of one server and use a x64 server, as the shoutcast part of this is great!

What is the latest on Azuracast on Cloudron?

We have a working package for Azuracast . But Azuracast only supports Mariadb at this point and does not support MySQL. We have opened a discussion thread upstream at https://github.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast/issues/7114 . Depending on what they say, we may or may not be able to support Azuracast.

Could we put this into the beta testing of the application store?

Sounds like it's all go!

We are trying to get it off their master branch now. Looks like they use php-fpm now instead of roadrunner, so some more changes needed before we can publish it as unstable. But the hard work is done, so we should get there shortly. Looking forward to our public radio stations
