Hi Philipp,
Thanks of the reply. Apologies for the naive question. I guess I am a little
confused and need some advice.
I currently have version 2.4.4 installed via apt on Debian 10.
I start that by doing sudo service icecast2 start
I have also installed version 2.5 beta 3 via
downloads.xiph.org/releases/icecast/icecast-2.5-beta3.tar.gz
<downloads.xiph.org/releases/icecast/icecast-2.5-beta3.tar.gz> and
compiled the software.
I start it by doing icecast -b -c /path/to/icecast.xml
If I want to run it in daemon mode, what is the way to do so?
