2013-08-28 23:19:47 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Web-based remote station management. Authorized personnel can add
|
|
|
|
programme material, create playlists or smart blocks, and stream in live,
|
|
|
|
all via a web interface.
|
|
|
|
* Automation. Airtime has a scheduler function that enables users to
|
|
|
|
create shows with content for playback at the exact date and time specified.
|
|
|
|
Playlists, smart blocks and remote stream URLs can be used multiple times.
|
|
|
|
* Solid playout. Airtime uses the open source Liquidsoap streaming language
|
|
|
|
for reliable and precise playback to multiple outputs.
|

|

|
* Open, extensible architecture. Stations are free to extend and alter
|

all parts of the program code, under the GNU AGPLv3 license.

Please see this chapter to begin a typical installation:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Basic installation has two steps:
|
2014-01-28 18:46:22 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2014-12-15 15:48:21 +01:00
|
|
|
1) Run the install script, located in the Airtime/installer directory.
|
2013-10-17 20:50:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2014-12-15 15:48:21 +01:00
|
|
|
cd installer
|
2013-10-17 20:50:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2014-12-15 15:48:21 +01:00
|
|
|
For an interactive installation, run:
|
2013-10-17 20:50:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2014-12-15 15:48:21 +01:00
|
|
|
sudo ./install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The installer will then prompt you about how you want to set up your Airtime installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a simple full installation (setting up apache and postgres configurations and users for you), run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo ./install -fap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What this means:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-f - force; non-interactive (no prompts)
|
|
|
|
-a - install the default apache setup for Airtime
|
|
|
|
-p - create a default Airtime postgres user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install all components necessary for Airtime, and set up /usr/share/airtime as your
|
|
|
|
web root (where apache looks for your Airtime files).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several options for installation - to see them all, run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo ./install --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Once you've run the installer, navigate to localhost/ (if you have a custom apache configuration, navigate to
|
|
|
|
your Airtime web host) to run an interactive setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want to run Airtime with default settings, you won't need to change anything, but if you have any custom
|
|
|
|
configuration settings you'll be able to specify them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you finish the setup process, you'll be presented with a configuration checklist so you can ensure that
|
|
|
|
your Airtime installation is working correctly. If anything was mis-configured, the checklist will provide some
|
|
|
|
helpful tips to resolve the issue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your checklist is all green, you're ready to get started with Airtime!
