Ansible Role: Icecast

An Ansible role that installs Icecast on Debian/Ubuntu.

Currently this is limited to providing only a master server.

Role Variables

The following describes the variables for configuring the role (see: defaults/main.yml).

icecast_listener_port: 8000
icecast_listener_bind_address: 127.0.0.1

The port and address that Icecast will listen for connections from clients, sources, and relays. Currently only a single listener can be defined.

icecast_source_pass: hackme

icecast_relay_user: relay
icecast_relay_pass: hackme

icecast_admin_user: admin
icecast_admin_pass: hackme

These configure all the usernames or passwords

You can define "normal" type mounts with the icecast_mounts variable. The properties per each mountpoint should match the options listed in the Mount Specific Settings documentation.

The following example defines two mounts:

icecast_mounts:
  - mount-name: /stream
  - mount-name: /other
    stream-description: Alternative stream.

Settings relevant to multiple mounts can instead be defined in the icecast_default_mount variable.

icecast_default_mount:
  public: 0
  intro: welcome.mp3

Settings common to multiple mount points.

icecast_log_level: warn

Valid options for log levels are debug, info (default), warn, or error.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: danielwhite.icecast }
