Icecast - Apr 2019 - Question about replacing the web interface with an audio stream

Hello,

I was wondering if someone here could help me out.

I have a domain that I'm using for Icecast, let's use
"domain.com" as an example. Icecast is running on port 80. The problem
is that when I go to "domain.com" in my web browser, it brings up the
web interface.
I want to configure it so that instead of showing the status page, it
immediately goes to one of my mountpoints. This would make it so people
don't have to remember the full path to the mountpoint.

Is this possible? I apologize if I'm overlooking something simple. This
doesn't seem to be a very common way of using Icecast.


Thanks.

I did something like this, but the way I did it was more of a workaround than
what you might want.
What I did was run icecast on default port 8000, set up Apache on port 80, and
configured a reverse proxy within apache so it would retrieve the audio stream
from icecast and deliver it over port 80.
I did it so that my stream would be accessible over public wifi with port
restrictions, but it accomplishes what you’re asking as well.

That's a good idea and is what I was originally going to do, but I ran into
issues when trying to use SSL with a reverse proxy. Adding SSL support is what
my end goal was when I started messing with all this, but it doesn't look
like it's going to be as easy as I'd originally thought. It seems that
mobile web browsers are starting to complain when a website doesn't use
https, so I thought I'd try to turn on SSL.

Thanks for responding.

Why not reproduce the stream using the <audio> element of HTML in a
regular webpage?  You could turn autoplay on and the strean would sound
automatically on most browsers, not so on Google’s.

What’s wrong with reverse proxying icecast through apache?
In my case, it’s just a measure to allow a secondary point of access to a stream
from public wifi that only allows ports 80 and 443.
Is it just a potential resource usage implication?
