About AzuraCast
AzuraCast installs everything needed to run a web radio station on any server or desktop that supports Docker. Through a web interface you upload media, manage playlists, create local mount points and remote relays, and view analytics and reports.
One installation can host several stations, with user accounts and roles that have granular permissions, and backups from a central place. Each station gets a public player page that can be embedded in a website, and APIs let you build your own players. It suits hobby broadcasters and community stations.
Strengths
- All-in-one install through Docker
- Multiple stations with role-based permissions
- Embeddable public player pages and an API
Limitations
- Requires a server that runs Docker
- More than needed for simple personal music streaming

Alternatives to AzuraCast
Compare allSoftware that can replace AzuraCast for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
LibreTime
Open-source radio automation software that schedules shows and plays out audio for AM/FM or internet stations.
LibreTime is open-source radio automation that schedules shows and podcasts and plays out to a transmitter or internet stream, but it lacks AzuraCast's multi-station Docker bundle.
Icecast
A free streaming media server for running an internet radio station or a private audio stream.
Icecast is only the GPL-2.0 streaming server, so moving to it means supplying a separate source client and handling playlists and scheduling yourself instead of through AzuraCast's web suite.
