Operations
Diagnosis, capacity, security and version changes, with practical checklists. Compare observable behaviour before changing a working system.
- 01Plan and verify Icecast upgradesSeparate Icecast releases from old documentation labels, plan a 2.4-to-2.5 update and verify authentication, TLS, relays and rollback behaviour.
- 02Protect the server and its operational dataLimit Icecast privileges and network exposure, separate access roles and protect secrets, callbacks, logs and public statistics during operation.
- 03Size limits, queues and connection burstsDistinguish clients from listeners, calculate stream traffic and tune queue, burst and timeout settings using evidence from an Icecast test.
- 04Troubleshoot Icecast with logsFollow Icecast startup, source and listener failures through the relevant logs, enable limited diagnostics and manage rotation without losing evidence.
