darkice

Live audio streamer

DarkIce is an IceCast, IceCast2 and ShoutCast live audio streamer. It takes audio input from a sound card, encodes it into mp3 and/or Ogg Vorbis, and sends the mp3 stream to one or more IceCast and/or ShoutCast servers, the Ogg Vorbis stream to one or more IceCast2 servers. DarkIce uses lame as a shared object as its mp3 encoder, and the Ogg Vorbis as its Ogg Vorbis encoder. A legacy SYSV init script is provided for existing configurations. You have to set RUN=yes in /etc/default/darkice to run darkice as a daemon. With modern systems, this is not needed as realtime scheduling is available to normal users.

Installation of latest darkice command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, Kali, Raspbian and macOS. You can copy the command for your OS from above and paste it into your terminal. Once you run the command it will download the 2026 latest package from the repository and install it in your computer/server.
