Showergel is made to live aside Liquidsoap: while a Liquidsoap script creates a radio stream, Showergel provides complementary features like playlist logging or occasional scheduling, with a (minimalist) Web interface. It is made to run on a Linux box (with systemd) dedicated to your radio stream.
License: GPL3.
If you'd like to see what it looks like, check out our demo installation. It is only the visible part of Showergel, running on fake data. You can also use it as a stub back-end when developping that interface.
Our automated script can install Liquidsoap and Showergel on an Ubuntu or Debian machine:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/martinkirch/showergel/main/installers/showergel_quickstart.sh && chmod +x showergel_quickstart.sh && ./showergel_quickstart.sh
The script will need to run sudo. It will start the radio, you should hear it as soon as you put sound files in the ~/Music folder. It will also register the radio as a system service, so the radio and its interface will start when the machine reboots, too.
This script installs our "quickstart" LiquidSoap script. After a first try we advise you to have a closer look to Showergel's documentation on https://showergel.readthedocs.io/.
