AzuraCast is an Internet radio station "in a box"; it is a full-featured, self-contained and self-hostable software suite, distributed using Docker, that contains a full free and open-source web radio software stack and a powerful but intuitive and accessible web interface (and well-documented API) to manage your stations.
