icecast2 for Debian
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
In the Debian packaging the configuration files have been symlinked from
|
|
the upstream location below /usr/share to /etc. This is needed to
|
|
satisfy FHS (/usr/share are for static content only).
|
|
If running icecast2 in a chroot environment, beware that the symlinks to
|
|
/etc will break. A possible (untestet!) solution might be to manually
|
|
put the configuration files back below /usr/share - and revert the hack
|
|
again before updating the package!

It is recommended to run icecast under a dedicated user account, which only
|
|
has access to write the log files. The Debian package creates such an
|
|
account, named 'icecast2', and uses it by default, but you are free to
|
|
reconfigure it and remove the account.
|
|
|
|
Edit /etc/default/icecast2 to change the init-script configuration.
|
|
|
|
It is possible (but discouraged for security reasons) to bind to a
|
|
privileged port (like standard web port 80). Edit /etc/init.d/icecast2
|
|
to not change userid and instead set the correct userid and group in
|
|
/etc/icecast2/icecast2.xml. Beware that this way you rely on the
|
|
icecast2 binary to properly drop privileges (instead of the much more
|
|
thoroughly audited start-stop-daemon). Thanks to Jürgen A. Erhard
|
|
<jae@jerhard.org> for the tip.
