Apologies if this has been asked before however after some searching I’ve found several posts / articles here in Lemmy (plus generally around via web searches). Some of the posts are dated however so want to see what the most ‘up to date’ suggestions are.
I have spare hardware so this is more a software query.
I want to run my own private radio station where I can listen to my music while on the move and at work. Nothing special and it doesnt need bells and whistles however at minimum :
- able to listen via web browser (android app would be a bonus but not required)
- able to lock it down so only people with the password can listen (me and other half in UK and brother in Australia)
- ) a generic login so people without the password do not know what it is or what its for
- option to set playlists and / or random via genre over specific time periods
Thanks in advance.
Maybe run it behind a reverse proxy and use that for auth.
Yeah if you put it behind a reverse proxy you have lots of options. Basic auth would be the most straightforward but you can also do mTLS with a custom self-generated CA fairly easily. Then there’s OAuth but the setup is usually more involved than either of the above.
Whatever you use you gotta have HTTPS working, that’s very important to keep it secured.
