Usage:

This tool is built for livestreaming audio to the world wide web, broadcasting a audio stream from an instance of tau-radio the accompanying software.

Modelled after the Icecast software, it serves a html audio stream that can be used in a audio tag on any other website.

You should run this on a remote server, such as a AWS, Digital Ocean or any VPS with the correct priviledges.

• Note that the smallest available Digital Ocean 'Droplet' does not have enough RAM to build this project locally. The workaround is to build for that architecture using ex: cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

---

To install:

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/tau-org/tau-tower

The first time using the tool, it will search your system for a config file. It looks for it in the directory:

$ $HOME/.config/tau/tower.toml

If there is no config file located there, you will be prompted to create one.

If you want to temporarily overwrite the config, you are able to pass arguments.

# Ex: Uses temporary credentials, and disables the local recording. 
$ tau-tower \
  --listen-port <listen-port> \
  --mount-port <mount-port> \

Dependencies

On Linux (using apt):

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install build-essential
