AzuraCast ranks #19 of 28 tracked media streaming - audio streaming projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.

What AzuraCast actually does

AzuraCast is a web-based radio management suite designed to handle audio streaming tasks. It provides a centralised interface for managing station content, listeners, and broadcasting operations. The software is distributed under the Apache-2.0 licence.

Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you want to run an internet radio station from your own infrastructure using a containerised deployment method.

Worth knowing: The project's recent development activity has slowed down, which could mean longer waits for bug fixes or updates. You should also consider how well it integrates with your existing audio sources and streaming workflows.

Deployment notes

Because the application runs via Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for your media and database files, alongside a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
