    Hi,

    I was just pondering possibilities of the initial setup i have. It seems to me that it would be possible to run 2 or more different streams on the same server.
    As far as i know icecast supports it. Looking at the interface of Airtime i'd say Airtime does not.
    Is this something you'd support in the future?
    Do you have any suggestions for implementing this on a single server setup?
    I guess it would require a second stream client or source package to support the second stream?

    Anyway. Best regards.
    Ed

    hi,

    right now no. To start several airtime instances you need prepare virtual servers. I recommend using lxc virtualization. It's like an openvz but doesn't require kernel patching. Just apt-get install lxc

    It works fine and allows to start airtimes as you need. As frontend proxy we are using nginx wich running on host server. It proxies icecast streaming and apache for each virtual instance.

    Do you mean multiple streams on the same server (this is possible), or
    multiple instances of Airtime on same server (not possible at the moment) ?
